And no, we're not doing a cassette player. Shudder.

I guess I'll have to keep the (many) cassettes that I have in their crates for the time being ... altho' I was thinking of transferring them to digital ... obviously Schiit JILL, but what CASSETTE transport might be used these days ?

I really wish, that I could just hear it somewhere, the difference, with some of my own music and headphones!
That would make choosing easier.

Ik zou zeggen, kom gerust langs, maar ja, dat wordt dan wel een retourtje Saudi Arabia....

Nou, nee, dan zou het nog goedkoper zijn om naar de Schiitr Hole in Californie te gaan!!

Maar bedankt voor het aanbod in ieder geval.

So is/not Six Sigma then?

or do you mean some other kind of deviations?

I meant my age based on the user graph Jason posted...

Here 'ya go. I'm sure @Paladin79 could make you a nice adapter cable for it.

There's ample evidence out there that most women have better hearing than most men. It's a bit sexist though as most men have a naturally occurring notch filter at whatever frequency "nag" is.

It's somewhat more complex.
Women tend to listen better than men and are less exposed to hearing loss inducing activities.
Those are all fenotipical things.
Genotipical differences where never scientifically proven.

Is Delft close enough? In that case you're welcome.

Yes I can probably manage Diemen to Delft some time in a weekend... Thanks for the offer and let's see when is a good moment. (No hurry from my side).

I am sorry but I only personally build cables for Schiit products, certain Cary products made before the year 2000 and an occasional purple cable. Well maybe I would help @bcowen with an 8 track cable for his current vehicle but that is where I draw the line. I have standards I follow, when I feel like it.

Wow, busy thread this weekend. Random thoughts...

First and foremost, glad/relieved to hear Mr. Moffat feels good enough to be at RMAF. Surely speaking for many when I say, Mike, we're pulling for you and wish you the best.

Second, skins for Schiit?!?! What?!? In an age of phone cases, I suppose. But they better be metal. I sure as Hel ain't gonna put a vinyl wrap on my Ragnarok, unless I want a visit from the Fire Department.

Lady audiophiles? Again? Guys, let's just accept that men and women are different. No, really. They have different priorities, likes, needs, etc. This is not bad (it can be glorious.) But it's unrealistic to expect the girls to enjoy everything the guys enjoy. Leave the ladies to their own devices, and worry about things you can change.

My wife is into niche perfumes and designer handbags. She spends as much or more on her passions as I do on mine. But she is also an astute music lover who can hear things I can no longer hear, and I trust her opinion on what does and does not sound good sometimes more than I trust my own.

Indeed, when Unison is released for Yggdrasil I will need to replace my CD transport with one offering USB.

Other than CD drives meant for use with computers, are there any transports offering USB out? Also, I'm guessing that when Unison becomes available for Yggdrasil that there will be only 1 USB input. So I suppose one would have to choose between using Unison for either a streamer or CD duties but not both.
Just thinking out loud.

I believe it was Damon Runyon who said, "The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. But that's the way to bet." There will of course be women who enjoy our hobby, just not many. Sometimes they like the tunes and appreciate the good sound, but balk at the testosterone. And who can blame them?
