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...

  And I'll re-raise you a Dallas 635 between I-30 and I-35E between 12:00am and 11:59pm...

    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...

Very sorry to hear this news, Jason.  You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

+1

  +1  - they are perfect for my Magni/Modi stack.

  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...

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...) 

  Sounds like a new recipe I used last week to make dinner for my wife...

Now that's a nice looking Modi!!! 

Subscribed!   Love the story so far, and can hardly wait to read the rest.   Hopefully, there might be copies available for purchase, once it is printed, through the Schiit site (and maybe include an autograph or something... ;) )

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...

  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!

Ok, color me embarrased.  I swear I looked all over the website for these and did not see them.   Oh well..another website fail for me...    

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...

Man, I was really looking forward to coming to this meet.   Unfortunately, I will be in Florida hanging out with Goofy at the time...   Luckily AHorseNamedJeff can take tons of pictures and tell me all about it.   There goes my hope to sample some different cans to look for my next...

Quote: Depends on the music I am listening to, and my mood.  If I am listening to something and want to rock-out (be it rock, metal, rap, hip-hop, country, etc.) I will usually have the volume knob around 9-11 o'clock.   If I am just chilling out or listening while I am working form...

That is awesome!   I was just experiencing the same issue (though not with a tube amp, just wanted to route through my sound card to my speakers instead of my Modi/Magni to my headphones).  For a lot of my gaming, I prefer just my standard speakers, which are 5.1 surround, unless it is late...

Quote:   Thanks!  I figured that would be the case, but I wanted to check with others that had more experience with the pieces.  I agree with the differences between sold-state and tubes, regarding burn-in requirements and quantifiable differences.  (and in how our perception changes over...

Quote: Nice!  Enjoy!   I only got to experience my M&M stack for a few hours, last weekend, until I had to pack and leave on another trip for work.  I am looking forward to heading home on Friday and getting to listen some more.   The Magni sounds great to me so far, but I have...

Not sure if this was already posted or not (did not see it in the last 4 or 5 pages):   Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro 250 ohm for $179.99 on Amazon:   http://www.amazon.com/Beyerdynamic-770-PRO-250-ohms/dp/B0006NL5SM
