We finally past Switch Gate now?
 
Aside from Jason's always excellent writing, there is often some very illuminating engineering discussion here which is why I read through.  Lately I've just been fast skimming to find and only read posts from Schiit employees though.

Despite having a switch fail on my Bifrost (which, again, was fixed promptly along with an added Uber upgrade), I was greatly satisfied with my Bifrost. Parts fail. It happens. My Gungnir and Mjlonir are running strong. I use them daily. I highly recommend them with the Audeze LCD-2F.

If the switch were located on the bottom plate, you wouldn't have been operating it all the time and it would have remained in pristine condition.

Can we switch topics? 

 

[wink]

We are switching........!!

What's the next statement product from Schiit gonna be...?

Well, we all know Jason really, really wants to get into electrostats...

 

[Jones Bob]

.... Yeah, one amp to rule them all. From IEMs to Electrostats.

So true.  It's important to remember that there are NO defect-free manufacturing processes. The key is to have a strong spirit of continuous improvement (kaizen) in your manufacturing Ops group.  
 
What I like about Jason and Schiit is they are open, honest, and transparent about it, and provide excellent customer service. For example, they were completely up-front about the microphony in the tubes used in Vali.

I guess I probably missed the end of the story by now, yes?

Should be a multi-input switch and volume control (like Sys but more versatile) named "Creek" with the new Schiit remote called "Paddle."

That would be ok provided that there was an option to buy it without the remote.

Professor Baldr,

Your having to defend the power switch location is evidence that the customer base is not happy. 

Ok, you're safe for now but Schiit stuff is starting to reach into high dollar levels where Ergonometric design elements contribute to sales success.

I'm sitting here reading customer's comments about your products.
I'm reading a ranting response thats stepping on the legitimate feelings being expressed.
Lucky you that J.D.Power isn't surveying these people.

Blaming the customer is burning the customer

I am one of the burnt customers for sure. I was on the verge of buying an amp, Jason had me on the hook.... Now I think twice, can't help.

So...that would be the Schiit Creek Without Paddle option...
