This is really more of a Schiit Pyramid, than a Schiit Stack:

Have no fear, all the LEDs are currently glowing happily.

As a non-native English speaker, I have a hard time differentiating between a stack, a pile or a heap. Anybody care to enlighten me?

To me a stack is things on top of each other than are neat and organised. A pile/heap are things just thrown there casually without organisation that end up on top of each other.

A stack of books. A stack of DVDs.

Or

A heap/pile of dirty clothes. A heap/pile of leaves.

I can't say I am an expert but that is what makes sense to me as an English person born and bred.

A stack is organized. Books or bricks may be stacked, neatly and deliberately. Piles are made quickly, as when you are looking for something and tossing everything else aside. Clothes for example, or the dirt that you dig out of a hole. Heaps tend to be the last step before disposal. A heap of tree trimmings, for instance. Or really dirty laundry. Hope this helps. Isn't English fun?

Just checking out the schwag at Schiit.com. We all love Schiit as a company that knows how to offer great value, but...
$20 for a t-shirt is fair.
Socks for $18, well, maybe.
$10 for toilet paper? Not even a 4-pack? Guess toilet humor ain't cheap anymore.
But the capper, literally, is the $28 ball cap. My entire head isn't worth $28.
Then again, Happy 4th of July to all. Let's celebrate living in a land where you can sell both a great $99 amp and a $28 baseball cap.

Consider that everything is made in USA, from USA materials, and caps are embroidered, not screen-printed or thermal embossed. Socks are embroidered as well. Custom TP is very expensive (look it up). We're not making a ton of money on this schwag, but I can guarantee it is GOOD schwag.

Sorry, that's one condition I put on Denise when she wanted to do this--nothing from low-wage countries, just like our own products.

Just remember, that $28 baseball cap, helps fund the next great $99 amp/ DAC/Piece of Schiit. Just consider it buying stock. An investment in the future!

I ride a motorcycle. I use my head. My head is worth a LOT more than $28 to me. You can buy a Sheeety helmet for $25. I've never spent less than ten times that on a helmet.

Also have you priced out "official" NBA caps lately...? $28 seems in line for a Schiit ballcap.

Just one suggestion - I think it would be a good idea to indicate what material these items are made of on the website. Cotton vs Polyester?
