Is there likely to be any sort of comparison either via blind testing at the Schiitr (as per the LIMvsOGvsMIL) or units sent out to testers/reviewers of the new MIB?
Problem is for those not in the US return/exchange is costly so to have a decent idea of the basic character is kind of essential.
To me, but not to everyone, you need a Personality * Consistency in there.
If I had to pick a main reason that I buy and recommend Schiit then it is Schiit Happened. The fact that &i get some insight into the thoughts, goals and approaches used by the designers to create these products. This helps me decide if the products are right for me: if they are aligned with my wants and values.
I don't want unnecessary cost and complication. I enjoy a beautiful mathematical or technical solution. I want things that have longevity and repairability. These are values that make it so that with most companies I have no idea whether I want their products or not, but with Schiit, I can read these chapters and find out!
For me it was the name. At first. I mean the balls to name your company Schiit!
I see a lot of people being put off by the name but they’re clearly idiots who can’t take a joke.
The FAQs on each product had me rolling! And Schiit like this:
Eventually I found this forum… again. I created my profile a long time ago. Can’t even remember what for. I read Jason’s chapters. Watched interviews with him and Mike. I remembered Mike’s name from his old brands. They sold me with their utter lack of bull schiit. Also Modi Multibit blew me away. Also, made in the USA!
What’s not to like?
It's because when we get comments like "yeah, just make an ultimate Yggy super expensive because that's all people care about anyway is the price tag," we say, "Yeah, we know that would work for a certain part of the market, but we're not opportunistic assholes."
And, because when we get comments about "120.1 vs 118 vs 123.4 and 108.5 and 95.2," we call it "One Number to Rule Them." Because that's what it is.
... It is the consistency of Schiit's product line, and it is the consistency with which Schiit operates. And yes, that also includes that certain things are consistently inconsistent. ..
The consistency brings me back, over and over. I know, pre-purchase, what I'm going to get. And I trust Mike and Jason's ears. (and no dealer BS, stand behind your products, people!)

Sometimes, but not always. Yes on tear #1 (right knee) and #3 (left knee) but not #2 (left knee).
Edit: the reason I ask is - thanks, to all, for the torn meniscus discussion and ideas. It must be internet telepathy or something, but this AM my wife goes to her orthopedic surgeon to have her knee x-ray and MRI results evaluated. I copied out the main points, but as she's 64, I decided to keep the "most orthopedic doctors give up on patients older than 45" comment to myself.
I'd not leave that part out. I also have lower back issues as well, from having a shorter right leg, and I was basically sent to pasture by a doc in my early 40s. If I hadn't fought back, I'd be a ballooning couch potato with little mobility like multiple relatives. I had to fight for surgery #2 (mid-50s), to the point of calling the doc's office from abroad to argue that I was pretty much unable to move and fly back home thanks to the pain from a swollen knee that they had asked me to manage with PT (heh!) Won that one, and the craziest part is that the doc then showed me the pics from the arthroscopic surgery, with very evident pre-post differences (a big thread of torn cartilage had been snipped), and told me that I'd be ready for any adventure in just 4 weeks, no PT needed. Geez, that's why you had made me suffer for 9 months before you agreed to operate?

Not a doc, but as a long-term experiencer of knee issues, I raise an eyebrow. I understand that orthos also consider surgery risk (it's not zero, given multiple factors including anesthesia) but it really amounts to how active the patient wants/needs to be. I know my answer, I'll not retire my ski boots before my body totally falls apart.
First thing I learnt in Bartending School (St. Paul, MN - headed back there to finish in two weeks) was continuity (without the TM) is paramount to keep customers coming back. That applies darn near everywhere.
Bartending, kinda like Schiit, is for fun, and I’m having the time of my life with both.
