I'll say it once.  

 

Anyone who names their company "Schiit", and then explains in Beavis and Butthead snickering, that yeah - that's what they really meant is not a company that I will ever take seriously.

Maybe it's just me, but grade school humour doesn't translate well into the world of electronic manufacturing.  I couldn't care less what their stuff sounds like, it's all Schiit to me.  

Ironically, this is the logical equivalent to being swayed to buy by marketing BS instead of real costs and benefits.  You have been persuaded not to buy by marketing BS.  As a full line of products from a reliable company, these guys are probably the best bang for the buck in entry level audiophile electronics.

Recieved the Lisst tubes but have had an issue with bass distortion on the right channel using them in an LTA MZ2. What listening I have been able to do

hasn't been pleasing, they are faster but the ease of a vacuum tube is lost, has that solid state edginess of an inexpensive amplifier. Results may differ

if using  traditional tube gear with big transformer vs the transformer-less design of the MZ2.

Thanks.  I guess this is exactly what we should have expected
