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

[Adam Balm]

Wait a minute. Someone posted earlier that it was National Hamburger Day!

Guilty again.

Burgers 'n Brisket.
Sounds like either a good name for a beef joint or good name for a yacht rock band.

Can you imagine that...and yet there is no Daughters or Sons Day!

Cheers!

Isn't that EVERY FREAKIN' DAY?!

Isn't that EVERY FREAKIN' DAY!

For some, Beef Day is too, Hamburger...Schiit...

Cheers!

Depending on how many smokehouses are in your area, It is most definitely Beef Day every day. Maybe a pork butt or shoulder here and there.

BTW, I wanted to mention that @Paladin79's renovated turntable and custom Rosewood headshell is in the house. Woot, woot! Work commitments this week are keeping me from setting it up for a few days unfortunately, but photos will be forthcoming next week. Beautiful work as always, Tom. Thank you so much! The whiskeys seem like a paltry return in comparison, but I hope you continue to enjoy them nonetheless.

The whiskeys are a genuinely fine thank you. The thought of you having a capability for two tables with the Stjarna and only using one made it a no brainer for me. Plus I am running out of space for turntables. I believe that is considered a medium mass tonearm and should provide flexibility in cartridge choices.

I hope to get back to my latest turntable refurb soon but I am dealing with contractors and insurance reps this week.

As I always say -- Live fast. Die young. Leave a moderately attractive (yet invisible to 18 -26 year old women) corpse.


** Seriously -- do not equate my self-deprecating humor in posts with me IRL. While my posts may lead some to think that I imbibe a bit much, the reality is that I rarely take Tylenol.

If one must take OTC pain meds, smaller doses of ibuprofen are a little more compatible with imbibing… but mixing such pain killers is well known to be bad for ones liver.

I know it’s a bummer; one of the reasons I *never* take Tylenol, and only take 200-400mg of Ibuprofen when I’m in serious pain; typically only once or twice a month; I ask myself: “would I rather have a nice dram or two of bevy OR the ibuprofen?

I have had excellent with topical marijuana lotions/creams, however; I alternate them with topical NSAID lotion to reasonable effect. But, you are in Texas, so that’s likely not an easy option?

It is not the main PCB fuse. It is the power supply fuse on the small board near the transformer. It blew again as soon as I moved the tone arm to the platter and the platter startup micro-switch was pressed. Speed LEDs lit up, platter started to turn, and then poof. No smell.

Thanks.

The turntable does not like your taste in music, so it blew a fuse. No diagnostic fee this time.

It's mid week....gotta get through...

Gotta listen more. Be more...

I'm gonna pretend I didn't read that.

Saga 2 vs Kara? Not the differences on paper (price, balanced, nexus, etc) but for those who have heard them both - what did you think? What did you hear? What did you prefer?

Haven't heard either of these, but this post gave me the kick in the pants to hook up the saga s that I bought for a future system when they were on close out. I have a node , to Urd USB hub , Modi 3, Saga s , and Tyrs. I put on Jerry Douglas - the Set ... I thought the guitars and stand up bass were better defined than with my older Nakamichi pre amp. I've been listening to recordings that I'm familiar with and Saga is staying in the chain. Saga 2 is supposed to be an improvement. Kara was (is?) on my want list, but a different DAC is next. I kinda want to see what this Bggy deal is going to be like . Please excuse the cables that are showing after the swap.

Because he should not have waived the fee, right?

I am still loving the Freya + and it takes four 6SN7’s, I doubt I will ever hear a Kara. I am very happy with my preamps.

Everytime she goes out on the back patio she points out stuff that needs to be done...

Luxury! Every time my wife is awake she points out stuff that needs to be done.

Yeah... I've been hesitant to take the jump into tubes, but you guys raving about Freya have been tempting me.
DAC next, then I have to decide on speakers for surround set free.
