FS: Schiit Lyr headphone amplifier

[dionisio]

Haven't seen many of these on the second hand market, and for good reason. Fantastic US-made amp, with bags of power to drive pretty much any headphone you can throw at it.

Used to great effect with Beyerdynamic 880 (600 ohm), but up for sale as I do the vast majority of my listening through speakers at the moment.

Comes with original tubes and a set of Genalex Gold Lion E88CC/6922, both with less than 50 hours on them. In very good condition. This is the first generation model.

£280 + P&P

(Collection also possible from Sheffield.)

It's hard to avoid the conclusion that the choice of manufacturer and model names, especially in combination, do nothing to boost consumer expectations of the products qualities. Puts the rolls Royce silver mist in the shade. :eek:

Apparently, this manufacturer does it on purpose. It gets them noticed and people have no trouble remembering the name. They seem well reviewed and are generally very good value for money it seems. Better than silly names done unintentionally:)
Shiit is an old German name I believe.

Good luck with the sale.

The products are universally well reviewed, and for good reason... it's a whole lot of headphone amp for the money!

[dionisio]

Price drop to £240 plus postage.

yep a very good buy. they do a decent phono amp too...glws

[dionisio]

Now that another piece of Schiit has sold on here, time to give this one a bump :)

£240 really is a steal, IMO etc.

Wow record for the longest sale on AoS?

Schiit make good kit and are happy to poke fun.... Here's a write up of their cables on their own website...

"Beyond Just Technology: SuperUltraHyperTechnology
PYST cables are made from only the finest 6-nines Unobtanium™ alloy, molecularly assembled in our Alternate Universe™ reality-distortion tesseract field , using a secret geometry reverse-engineered from crashed UFOs, painstakingly smuggled out of Area 51 by deep-cover operatives. Performance is further enhanced by the use of a QuantConnect™ quantum-entangled pair of transmission interfaces, held at absolute zero by our exclusive Stasis Field™ technology. The cables are then wrapped in NanoAeroCap™, a nanotechnology-enabled aerogel anti-capacitance insulation system, featuring Fractal Interleaved Geometry™ to create negative inductance for maximum audio transmission quality.

Or, er, well . . . again, no. These are nice, high-quality cables, with solid, reliable connectors. That’s it. Hope you like them!"

Had this topic been bumped I would've grabbed it. As it was I didn't even realise one of these were for sale...
