Desktop Audio Update ~ Schitt Vali 2 01Sep16

I updated the Silverthorne headphone amp to a Schitt Vali 2 tube amp. I'm already liking the amp with stock tube but not as much as my Vali 1 yet - but I have 5 "new" 6DJ8/E88C tubes ready to try. This time the finish is brushed aluminum exactly like my Modi 2 DAC so now it's a matched stack. I also installed a small Rolland powered monitor (which can even mix stereo signals into one) for near-field non-headphone days or to otherwise fill the room.
