No sound

Some weeks ago, out of nowhere i got a loud medium/low tone emanating from my system when I turned it on. I reported it here and it was suggested that the problem could be a faulty tube.  I finally obtained new tubes, installed them, and the tone went a way but so did the audio.  Any ideas about what’s going on?   It’s hart to find competent technicians that will come for home repair.

Now I find it’s not so primitive.  It sounds damn good!

Happy to hear you are up and running.

It is rather amazing what a featherweight, tiny piece of kit can do.

Well, I hooked up the Sys, and lo and behold, I got sound.  Of course it’s primitive compared to my CJ preamp but over all, not too bad.

I was surprised to hear the Schiit Sys being compared as 'not too bad' to a CJ preamp. I had the Sys before but returned it after a fairly short listening period. On my humble system, its sound was restrained and not open at all. The Saga 2 is much, much better—and it's here to stay.
