[Jason Stoddard]

is this Jason's way of telling us something is happening this Wednesday or Thursday?

More like next week. Production has started, but I'm holding back so Alex doesn't lose his mind. Also so I can be around to answer questions.

Need pics of the C8!

Constanza is a Norwegian Forrest cat.

We lost our Donatello in February to a tumor on his bile duct. He was a Norwegian Forest Cat and the best damn cat I’ve ever known. We lucked out as he was from my Mother-in-Laws farm. When it’s time for a new cat, we‘ll specifically search for a Norwegian.

Schiit is one of the few companies I plan to buy from before they announce a product.

What a beautiful picture! Wow!

I expect a write up that would make Peter Egan proud!

How many of us know who Egan is... gosh I miss his columns.

He has his home theater system on that floor, two channel rig is on the third floor and he has a whole house system. I started him with electronics, chess and computers at age four, he is more into gadgets than I am lol. I tend to learn when I visit. He also has open air concerts close by, Wolf Trap National park, dedicated to the performing arts.

I've had to learn all things regarding audio (and photography, computers, etc.) myself, and I'm still taking baby steps into two-channel world. Home theater is a must when we buy a house with my girlfriend. When we have kids, I'll be raising them into all these wonderful things from ground up.

Don’t hit me too hard, Jason. I’ve just decided to start saving up to my dream headphone

my $0.02: with kids planned, don't go overboard on electronics (damage and accidents are inevitable, something called the "terrible-twos"). Mainstream receivers get replaced by new models every one or two years (CES january product intros), but typically just add more bells and whistles, while the two-channel performance stays the same (and not as good as a modius / bifrost + saga / freya + aegir / vidar setup).

If we find the right house, I'll have a separate room for home theater and a two-channel system in the living room. For the home theater I've been thinking about one of those upgradeable NAD receivers. But for sure, when the baby-making times come, kids will become the priority and spending on hobbies will take a break.

As a slack-yawed yokel with an account at the Department of Water and Power, I'm offended by your comment.
(Just trying to fit in, seeing as how everyone is offended by everything these days.)

As one of the many people who was DENIED an account with DWP, well, I'm offended too.

I can recommend a separate room to keep your children in.

Thank you for not letting your cat outdoors. They kill literally millions of birds every year, not to mention fighting with other cats and getting hit by vehicles.

It should be mandatory to keep them inside. With the exception of working cats (farms). They don't care at all.
But I don't think that will ever come to pass. Nowhere for that matter.

.... did someone say a new product.....
does it start with and “L” and ends with an “oki+”

 

[ev666il]

does it start with and “L” and ends with an “oki+”

It might start with "T" and end with "ransport" as well.

Jason also mentioned a money-no-object phono preamp in his year-end chapter, so that's a possibility as well.
