    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

      You are correct with both points, however I will point out that for every person who made it big without graduating college (Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Michael Dell, etc.) there are about 10,000 others that have tried or are still trying to "make it big" without education.   There are...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

        Amen.   I love a good, thoughtful debate.  Unfortunately, that seems to be a lost art, as most discussions devolve quickly into name-calling and personal attacks, no matter what the topic is (don't get me started on the current political divide in this country and that it is ok to openly...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

      Having been on both sides of the HOA enforecement issue, I can attest to the fact that they can be annoying, but can also serve a purpose.   I lived in one neighborhood where someone decided that they wanted to customize a car (paint, body work, new rims, etc.).  They proceeded to sand the...

    Dallas, TX - Sunday, June 1st, 2014 - "The Fickle Force of June" meetup

    Just remind him of how his mom and dad used to complain about his listening to his Kenwood setup in the day. (not that I had anything to do with influencing the volume and bass levels to be turned up, at all...)

    This Schiit is Bananas! $99 Schiit Magni Amp and $99 Modi DAC

    I am a little younger than Mike, but just getting into the Head-Fi scene, I loved the fact that I could get the Modi and Magni for a couple hundred bucks and not break the bank for my first setup.  The quality of the pieces is outstanding, and I will be looking to Schiit for my next pieces as I...

    This Schiit is Bananas! $99 Schiit Magni Amp and $99 Modi DAC

      I got the PYST cables with my M+M stack about 2 months ago, and the issue with needing the rubberband has been resolved. I do not use a rubberband and have no problems with the Magni lifting off of the Modi.   And these drive my HD518s perfectly.  I am so happy with this setup!

    Hey Jason-   I know it is not a normal part of your operation, and you focus on the amazing technology and products that we all love, but how about making available for purchase some Schiit swag (i.e. t-shirts, hats, etc.)   I, for one, would love to be a walking bill board for your...
