    Suggestion For Amir Youtube Video - Testing Vibration Effects On Components!

    I should say that I did a crude test once with a Schiit and a topping (?) headphone amp. Tapping the table underneath caused corresponding output of the amp! I traced this to the volume control.

    Schiit Skoll Balanced Phono Stage Review

    There was never a personal thing with me. What changed was them focusing on objectively excellent products. Once there, whether they were nice to me or not, they were going to get positive reviews. This happened about 3 years ago.
