Karma: Original Schiit Magni

in The Clubhouse
I thought I’d give headphones a try so as to not disturb my wife, who’s generally early to bed. I got this Schiit Magni and Focal Spirit One headphones. It turns out that my wife likes the music I play while falling asleep and I don’t care for headphones if given the choice between that and speakers. This has at most 10 hours on it. This is the first version of the Magni: no gain switch and no output jacks. If your headphones are fairly sensitive, you will only use the lower range of the volume pot.

The usual karma rules apply: choose a number 1-100, minimum 100 posts, closes at noon PDT next Monday. I will announce a winner that afternoon.

    I've owned a Schiit Asgard and a Schiit Vali. I currently find myself without a headphone amplifier, so I would be interested in giving this a try.

    Excellent karma! But I’ll pass; I don’t do the headphones too often.
    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    I don't listen through headphones. I have great neighbors! And my wife can only hear me on rare occasions when the dial gets to 95db+.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
