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

    Engineering school taught me to solve problems, but didn't teach me which problems were worth solving. Studying philosophy years later filled that gap. There are plenty of irrational endeavors that rational solutions can be found.

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

    I know a guy with a pantera rotting away in his basement. Needs a full restoration. Told him if he ever wants to part ways with it give me a call.

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

    I'm not suggesting to tell you how to run Schiit and don't claim to understand the audio market demand for all balanced. My personal preference is standard sized XLRs. Adopting Pentaconn would not interest me. Maybe I'm an outlier use case, but the situation I find myself in is if I want to use...

    True. May have to go into a rag size chassis to accomplish. So probably won't happen. Or maybe just do a fully balanced version of Freya+. Personally, once I have a Skoll I would be ok with losing all SE inputs/outputs.

    And please add multiple XLR outputs to the Freya+. Would be nice to select between a balanced headphone amp and monoblock speaker amps.

    Thinking I'll buy a Skoll. Found this on another forum. Is this correct for converting a SE tonearm cable to balanced? Seems too easy to not convert since I have all 5 leads at the RCA terminations.

    I wonder if the execs at Crosley base their quarterly forecasted sales on when the next T Swift album releases.

    Everything I know about British culture I learned from the movie King Ralph.

    I mean...it's in the name. It has the word c**k in it. Kinda like asking why that British spotted sponge cake sounds dirty.

    Hopefully something easily fixed with 2 pieces of fancy 3m non-marring tape securing the tray for shipping ... to be peeled off prior to first use. I think most of us enjoy ceremoniously peeling that sort of thing off.

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

    Just watched the live stream. Fighting the urge to purchase the URD... I think I'm going to wait to buy for the round two of production that Jason eluded to. Glad he's locking this into the product lineup. A schiit (shart?) speakers sounds interesting. If offering "something different" is the...

    I'm still not clear how I'd utilize the additional Urd features in my system beyond the transport functions.

    Has a cost been shared recently? I think I saw a video that the Urd was projected to be around $800ish, but that was some ago.

    I'm not talking schiit. Metal fab is my world. Hope you didn't take offense. Definitely interested. I've considered approaching you about helping set up in house before. Let me sleep on it, but I may just send over a resume.

    I realize (more than you'd probably guess) the headaches of doing so, but since Schiit started having troubles with finishes I've wondered why you don't bring it all in-house. Metal forming and anodizing that is. You're always at the mercy of your suppliers and it's not exactly rocket science...

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

    Nice. That's the tease I was asking for! I know Schiit had amps in the past for a specific headphone (like the Raal amps) in limited runs. Maybe it'd be cool to do a phono pre/cartridge combo in a similar fashion? No dip switches or knobs...just get the right cart .... and plug the schiit in...

    Saw a post on reddit about a tube phono preamp you've demo'd recently. Been eyeballing a PS Audio Stellar phono to replace my mani 1st gen, but if there's a schiit option in the works I think I'll wait. Can you give us a tease of what you're doing for a phono new preamp?
