Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

[Daniel Johnston]

The keyword there is 'good'. So if good...

No, in this case "good backlash" is bad.

People complained that since the inception of Schiit, he claimed he would not do any "sales". But then, he did a sale. That didn't go over well. Just like with streamers, VU meters, and DSD, I don't think you'll see the sale thing happen again. IIRC, it was a pretty specific reason why he did the sale.

However, the B-Stock/closeout page is a great way to score some good Schiit for discounted prices. I bought a Freya N and Jotunheim 2 for a good price via that route.

@Jason Stoddard: Any plans for a Sale later this year?

Announcing an upcoming sale is a great way to kill your current business.

We understand that. But a denial would clarify the future and would not hurt business. A lack of response makes it ambiguous.

Jason covered it pretty clearly in 2022, Chapter 14: Hel Hath Frozen

"What I said is that you should never do sales. Which still stands. Don’t expect this to be a once-a-year thing. Don’t even expect this to happen again."

A lack of response usually means "what I told you before still stands." For instance....

"Hey, dad, can I have $20?"
"No"
"Hey dad, c'mon, I need $20."
"No"
"Awww, please dad, $20."
"No"
"Pretty please, it's just $20."
<Silence, but not ambiguous>

I better ask what a Valhalla 3 will be......

 

[Brubacca]

I believe Jason said on the last schittrmeet that Valhalla 3 wouldn’t happen until a bunch of Valhalla 2 were moved. Then Valhalla 3 would be completely different and based on lessons learned from Follvanger (spelling?).

Did I hear that right from anyone else who watched the meet?

I agree. He noted Valhalla was the oldest item continuing to sell and he would be interested in updating -- but not immediately.

Quite right. I also heard "...so pathetic - but not in terms of sound quality."

 

[Jason Stoddard]

No sales.

Yes on closeouts (of replaced products--think, like, if we have any Magnius left, stuff like that.)

Yes on Valhalla 3 eventually. Not sure of timing yet. Probably not until middle of 2024.

I'm on the edge of my seat for possible implementations of the singularity.

Also curious about a possible modi/magni hybrid. But... where would that leave Hel?

Isn't the singularity when A.I. kills us all?

oh! wrong singularity...
