Cardboard tubes (does that count as 2 subjects on the Schiit Sine Wave?) and textiles are being used to create partitions for Ukraine refugees. https://www.dezeen.com/2022/04/08/shigeru-ban-paper-partition-system-ukraine-refugee-shelter/ The Paper Partition System (PPS) is quickly and easily...

The Gjallarhorn and the Rekkr are perfect additions to the Schiit stable of speaker amps. The Gjallarhorn is listed as consuming 80 watts maximum. What is the power consumption while idling, if that is the correct word (powered, but not in use)? I also would vote for a silver case as an...

Here is another female acoustic bass performer in a great bluegrass band, Big Richard:

This is a question to owners of the Dan Clark Audio Aeon Closed X headphones: I bought a pair six months ago and I really enjoy the sound of them, but I feel as if they could benefit from equalization. Can the Loki Mini+ or the Lokius improve the sound? I have owned Sennheiser HD580s for 27...

And I thought Halloween was over..........

Happy Halloween!

The October issue of Stereophile has a review of the RAAL-Requisite HSA1b headphone and speaker amplifier for the RAAL SR1a Earfield Monitors. There is also a comparison of the RAAL amp to the Jotunheim R, which is designed for the same RAAL headphones. The positive news for Schiit fans is...

I also own both the HD580 and the HD650. I bought the 650 about 5 years ago, and it possibly has 50 hours of use max. With the 580, I am on my third set of ear pads and fourth cable due to 20 years of constant use. I just enjoy it much more.

Peter Green, the original guitarist for Fleetwood Mac has died. Listen to "Oh Well" and "Green Manalishi" for his excellent songwriting and guitar licks. He also wrote "Black Magic Woman," which became a hit for Santana.

I once was stuck in Phoenix-area rush hour traffic when it was 115 degrees. (Of course, the 1973 Datsun had no air conditioning.) We found that ASU's Gammage Theater was open, so we went inside and collapsed on 2 chairs. We drove north at dusk, and surprisingly 95 degrees felt comfortable...

Lately, I’m kind of hung-up on this 20 year old album. Thanks for turning me on to this album! It is excellent jazz, and quite unique: acoustic piano and drums with acoustic bass that is somehow synthesized. I never heard that band before. Now to seek their CDs and enjoy them...

Like Dylan, John PRINE was a brilliant songwriter, and his music was covered beautifully by other singers. John's "Angel from Montgomery" is the best song ever recorded by Bonnie Raitt.

Ginger Baker was one of the very best rock and jazz drummers. He was unique. Cream and Blind Faith were Ginger's supergroup rock bands. Also listen to the Ginger Baker Trio (with guests Bill Frissell and Charlie Haden) as well as his other excellent jazz albums. And search for the...

Especially the song "The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove." The bass guitar and percussion are so well recorded! When I play that for friends, they stop talking and just stare at the speakers.

I find the process of ordering from Schiit to be quick and easy. The fact that tax and shipping are added to the cost of the product in 2 additional steps takes only 1 more minute. Once the order is placed, I will not have the product for 2 or 3 days, so why should I be bothered about a...

The Saga S in combination with the Modi Multibit reveals so much more information than I ever heard before. I am delighted.

Oh, sorry. I thought that it was LAST Friday, not this coming Friday...........

No one has posted experiences from last Friday's Schiitr Thunderdome event. Any comments or comparisons to report?

The Saga S is an excellent preamp! As @Mumbles06 positively posted earlier, it sounds amazing. I was listening to acoustic jazz, and the cymbals, the snare drum, and the upright bass sounded clearer than I ever heard. The harmonics of the upright bass seem to extend with greater detail. The...

I have a question regarding the Saga: What is considered to be a "long cable?" From the Saga description: "Go ahead. Run Saga S in passive mode for a convenient remote-controlled passive preamp that’s ideal for many systems. If you need to drive long cables, switch it to the discrete...

Pedro Janeiro asked: "Anyone here knows if the Jotunheim is as good as pre amp, compared to dedicated schiit pre amps?" From a Darko review of the Saga Classic and the Vidar (https://darko.audio/2017/11/schiit-vidarsaga-an-affordable-care-act-for-loudspeakers/): "in delivering more of a...
