[Ohno Schiitizen]

Guys, a small ask: can we try not to turn this thread into troubleshooting central? I mean, let me know if you can't get ahold of support, etc, but I'd really rather not have this be consumed by troubleshooting.

And yeah, I know, I need to post more. Maybe a chapter on Aegir 2 this week. Also some more new content soon. Just busy right now.

OK ~

Jason,
Fair point--we have the schiit sine wave of content, but it *has* been a bit overly troubleshoot 'n test in here (myself included, talking about testing the switch mode power bricks for the Modius E), so I'm sure we can get more on topic lol.

My kingdom for another chapter soon, I tend to check for new chapters quite often, they are a highlight of this site for me.

No splines? Sheeeez....you were pretty cheap back then.

Splines were not invented yet, things were tough back then, I believe we had to build our own transistors.

 

[ScubaMan2017]

yeah, this is a common sight in houses selling for or worth $400-500k nowadays...it is what frightens me.

I can match that... {{{from our rental}}}...

...and the prior owner double-downed on spray insulation. Expanding foam. Cringe... inadequate R-value for our latitude (45 deg. N.).

...I'm only partially joking that I enjoy firing up my Lyr2, Valhalla2, and Vali2 to keep my HiFi nook warm.

OMG! So, spray insulation cheap, wire nuts expensive in Canada? OTOH he did leave you some spare breakers…

Germanium point contact devices?

You're barbecuing much too soon. It must first be cultured with Penicillium roqueforti and aged in a Himalayan cave for seven months and four days. Time of aging is dependent on Jason's Law of Release Dates, of course. Then, and only then, should it be barbcued.

And served on Texas toast.

I think Corpse Cables are nicely made and not crazy prices.

+100. Great service, solid quality, and a cool Corpse sticker comes with them, too. My HD6xx GraveDigger balanced cable is made with Cardas wire. Just beautifully done, and they sound... like nothing. <g>

Germanium point contact devices?

Yep as well as cutting the crystals for oscillators.

Yep as well as cutting the crystals for oscillators.

I can recall trimming/sanding quartz crystals to fine tune the frequency. Another lost art.

I remember when we got our first car with an FM radio in it.
It was like a miracle ... no longer did the music go away when driving under an overpass!

..and now we're Back to the Future with satellite radio, and the music goes away when driving under an overpass.

Drive faster! But I still can't figure out why they can't buffer SXM for 5 seconds so that the under/overpass cut-out doesn't happen... ?

So, interestingly, I found this in eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/276299732769

If it has Unison or Gen5 USB upgrades it will have a sticker showing that.

This is a multibit version, but it's shows the sticker by the USB: https://www.ebay.com/itm/325977945512

Eight hundred fifty bucks USD. If one has the gonads to bid lower, that might be a hell of a deal. I'd shy away from it, as I'd want to look at the unit, physically power it up, connect it to something like a Magni and my Chromebook to it, and then check it out.

I wonder if there's a demand for a database of all production numbers (serial numbers) for customers who want to buy used Schiit gear from 3rd parties? Not exact... just a range of numbers one can cross-reference. Serial numbers of units that had unsupported modifications. Recalls.

In fact, how robust is the used electronics market for pre-owned Schiit kit? Meh, idle curiosity on my part...

You've got multiple circuits. Sweet!

OMG!

I'm betting the same guy installed the outlets?

 

[LobalWarming]

Guess there was no budget left for a GFI outlet. Not that it matters. No one would ever fill a sink that full of water.
