I have no idea how it sounds. I have two small kids and no money for toys anymore. I'm hoping some of you rich folk out in EmotivaLand will buy some of this stuff and tell me.

Yup me too, I have a brand new baby gal, and a toddler who knew they were so expensive , so I'm living vicariously though these threads. So come on guys, buy, buy, buy and do tell! Djoel

Hmmm, I am wondering about Solid State Tubes. One would ask why didn't you just got the Asgard, or Moulnir in the first place. Oh wait, this is the Hifi hobby. Sorry about making sense.

Actually i think it is brilliant. Basically the amp is either tube or solid state based on the module (tube) you buy.

Don't forget the Apple product DAC: iSchiit
I know they chose a funny name, but here we all are talking Schiit, so it must be working

Solid State tubes is nothing new. I inherited a 1940's Zenith AM/Shortwave radio from my grandfather way back in the 70's. It is vacuum tube with a lot of dangerous old capacitors that make a taser look like a toy. I remember taking all the tubes down to Radio Shack (back in the day when it would be packed with Do-It-Yourselfers, electricians and electronics dudes on a Saturday) Tested all of them on the store vacuum tube tester machine. Some were weak and replacement vac tubes were not available any longer. I got some SS tubes as replacements.

I'm confused by this. Don't people buy tube stuff because they like the sound of tubes? So many of them seem to be anti-solid state same as the vinyl/analog versus digital divide.
People buy the tube stuff for all its tubey goodness. But I guess having the option of solid state makes it boil down to tubey or not tubey... that is the question...

Not necessarily. I have a tube and a ss preamp. I like both and i like to alternate. One gives me the mellow sound when i want to relax but for critical listening i go to the other flavor. So actually i think is a pretty cool and cheaper idea. IMHO
