We now own a building in Texas!

More later on the Schiitrmeet next week. But it will cover AKM and Texas. You get me and Tyler. Feel free to ask him philosophical questions. He is, after all, Director of Miscellaneous. And like a Masters or Ph.D in Philosophy or something like that (should we be nervous he's the HR/flying-desk-bureaucrat/money guy too?)

Be nervous. Be VERY nervous.

You don't often see PDQ Bach referenced here. Well done!

JC

Or Gerard Hoffnung, an English PDQ sort of guy.

i suspect that as Schiit prepares to move some equipment / component inventory for the mini products to the Texas facility, that there will be some older ancient products (like a Fulla gen 1, loki DSD DAC) on b-stock.

 

[yonson]

Yes.



Congrats on the new building!! Once you get all moved in, let me know if I need to ship you some real BBQ.

So you're going to take a trip to get some from Memphis? Because it damn sure ain't coming from NC

speaking of b-stock, just noticed a few Eitr & Freya S in both 115V & 230V versions

Nice to see Schickele/PDQ Bach reference. I played French horn in those NYC Carnegie Hall concerts for over a decade. Fun memories... Peter was precise and demanding which made the comedy more effective. Funny on several levels.

Damn, Freya S b-stock for $570. Somebody better get on that...

These past 6 months have been very good to us B-stock watchers. I've bought an Eitr, a Modi Multibit, and an Asgard 3 from B-stock this year.

I think the B-stock offerings are a great way to get some of the entry-level gear (less than $250 or so) at a discount. Drawback is that if you don't like the gear, you can't return it so I wouldn't risk it with more expensive gear, unless you have prior experience with it.

congrats on the building. beware tornados & flooding (but no worries about earthquakes)

does this now mean that Schiit has an official position on BBQ?

Tornadoes? Not too common in Texas, especially in the Corpus Christi area. I'm sure they get more NC "BBQ" (ahem...) there than tornadoes. Hurricanes and flooding? Your new building full of Schiit is on stilts, right? Storm-rated siding and roofing?

Some Texans are luckier than others.

Who returns gear?
Wish I had the cash for a Rag2.

Haha. Good question. I've been buying Schiit stuff for 2 years now. Never had to use the 15 day return window.

Granted, I've only bought new (A-stock) a Modi 3 and a Vali 2. Everything else has been B-stock. Not once felt like I wished I could return something.

Your mileage may vary so I guess it's still a good thing that the 15 day return window exists.

Or anywhere, really. Though IIRC wasn't there a PDQ Bach newsfeed on Usenet once upon a time?

If there were a Freya S in black, I'd have been tempted to pull the trigger. As it is, looks like I'll have to wait for someone in Schiit's supply chain to slightly mar the finish on a Freya+ case such that it gets anodized (or however they do it) in black.

i don't see a pull-down option for black. do any factory black Freyas exist in OG, S, or + variants? Jason probably uses the damaged casework for dev protos.

The Transport might only be offered in silver too.
