Jason @Schiit did say that even Jot 2 is 95% MJ2. How’s the Lyr 3 vs Echo? Again I know one is hybrid one is OTL, but are they comparable at all?
Not sure…Lyr 3 is on its way with 3 or four tubes to test. Have a Liquid Plat in states I’m curious to compare with ( and have plenty of tubes for - thanks MJ2) Pretty stoked with current config. Its impressive how fast Schiit can iterate and match their older top tier gear. The Jot 2 is a beast and sounds great to me. The idea with the Lyr was playing with powerful hybrid for the Sash Tres and if I ever grab some power sucking cans …which is unlikely but you never know.

Also not drawing out all the fucking energy just to heat my apt. That part of the MJ2 and Gumby pissed me off a bit…Jot has been running 2 hrs and is warm…even Echo 2 doesn’t seem to get as warm as the previous stack of Schiit.
Not positive but I believe the only difference between mk1 and mk2 is the output switcher for the rca’s. I have owned the Feliks echo for awhile now and really enjoy my ZMF’s on it.
EDIT as far s I see the espressivo 2
is still available

From the looks of it, yeah, but I also find it hard to believe that it justifies the increase in price and the elimination of the espressivo line
Only other difference is about 30 more milliwats that I see… To me it is not needed

Which site is it? I was mainly looking at Feliks’ website
Ah ok, they are a distributor so possibly some remaining stock (especially with the sales price). Espressivo disappeared from Felik’s own site in the EU
EDIT: http://feliksaudio.pl/
aah…did not know that
And I believe the Echo Mk 1 was priced at 679USD, whereas the Mk 2 now is a lot closer to the MSRP of the Espressivo. So there’s possibly an improvement in sound quality. Anyway, I might just shoot them an email but I don’t expect anything other than a vague response
Well, part of me wants to know and part does not… I really enjoy mine as it has plenty of power for anything I own… With The Bifrost 2 it just sings!

I know haha, I really liked my Atticus on the Echo, but I do feel the BHC with a more linear tube has a tad better technical performance in terms of resolution, speed and separation. So I was hoping one day I could get a similarly tuned but better performers Feliks amp, but I’m definitely not curious enough to spend 1k (and its a lot more expensive in UK/EU)

seconded…10x…Verite Closed just sings so so sweet.
Hey Dude,
Just came across this conversation whilst web browsing. Looking forward to receiving your Gumby & MJ2 (hopefully this week). I have Mrspeakers Alpha Primes which will really sing with Gumby & MJ2 with a pair of Amperex Orange Globe (A-frame) tubes.
Like you, I am enjoying the tube sound with Echo Mk1. I just stuck in a couple of Amperex Bugle Boys on Echo & it has improved on every aspect of the sound. Even more Euphonic than stock, with more low down grunt (better textured) and gorgeous mids. The stock tubes are flat/dull/linear sounding by comparison.
I recommend you grabbing a matched pair of Bugle Boys, I think you’ll really enjoy them.
Best regards
Already have a set…was running on MJ2…have a few other sets (8 + pairs ) to try as well. Thanks for the tip. Already had them on…tube comparability was one reason went with Echo over others…can reuse the collection. Hope you get the MJ2 without incidence.
@M0N Could we get an official thread for the Feliks Echo mkII, I might do a basic impressions on it in a couple of days and it might be nice to have a place for it to be talked about and have info shared as its become a fairly popular option in its price range.
Didn’t realize we didn’t have one for the og echo
