Quick update on Aegir 2: launching next week, as planned. Not early. Sorry.

Pffft. What's one more week? No need to apologize. We can handle it.

I think most GS2 owners will self-install either keeping the older card and DAC roll or just sell it. The whole reason for the Yggy+ case is to make self-installing of upgrades easier.

I also think that Schiit is not interested in keeping the old cards any longer and will likely ship it back with the GS or OG-style case if one chooses to have them upgrade. The only reason they kept the old cards was they thought about harvesting the DAC chips and I believe they've given up on that line of thinking. More stuff to warranty and keep track of inventory, different SKU, and even a different inventory and warranty with the GS releases.

I have the MIB card arriving on Thursday. I'm planning to keep my A1 card indefinitely. Coming from the BF2/64 to the A1 made me realize how much DAC can change how everything downstream sounds - for better or for worse. Assuming the MIB is the preferred flavor for now, what's to say if I get a different amp/headphones next year I won't be wondering if the A1 has better synergy? Don't want to sell a component I can't (easily) get back and end up wishing I still had it around.

While I'm waiting on Aegir 2 availability announcement, I thought I'd share...

So. Much. Wait!

In preparation of working with barrel staves for Blanton’s horse boards I decided to work with some rough flame maple. Wood rasps and hand planes mostly. The trick is to make it elegant while keeping the rustic charm. There are tiger maple stripes to be revealed.

Off topic... (maybe off sine wave! )

I grew up drinking tea, but recent events require me to become far more knowledgeable of high quality tea...

Since this forum contains people of varying hobbies, can any of you recommend a good forum/blog/webpage where I may obtain the education I seek?

I don't know about any tea forums, but I have been buying my tea from the Tea Trader since the late 90s. I have been sipping their China Lapsang Souchong since the aughts, and it has not increased in price since 2012 or thereabouts. A beautiful smoky tea, in the same wheelhouse as my beloved Lagavulin. They have a personal relationship with their producers and suppliers, so it's almost like they're a family.

I probably have eight varieties in my cupboard to choose from right now.

You're in Vancouver so shipping will be reasonable, and you may even be able to save on the PST.

Good luck on your journey!

Try Te Company, for education and ordering.

I am very eager to know what you think of MIB vs A1 after you've had sufficient time to form an opinion.

If that is vegan wood, it could be headed to bcowen. The math works like this: >>>> vegan wood = cardboard

Fortunately or unfortunately, no. We're selling cards now. They used to be trade-in. You get your old cards back if you send it in to us.

Once the OG cards are gone (sometime in spring), they're gone.

In the meantime, MIB is doing very, very well.

Thanks for fixing the MiL! The MiB is amazing sonically indeed!

Yes, translators are a thing and only a few clicks/touches away.
I also happen to be somewhat fluent-adjacent in German.
But that's not the point.
The point is that this is an English forum. Let's keep it that way for everybody else's convenience, shall we?
Thank you!

Danke schön, baby!

Just don't google "teabagging" if you want my advice.

You don't need to google it. YouTube is your friend.

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

I personally prefer Taylor's of Harrogate over Twinnings, which are the accessable brands over here.

 

[Slackaveli]

No true. Once they run out there will be occasional stock as more GS and GS2 owners upgrade to newer Yggys.

So getting a GS2 and then upgrading it is also a thing, yeah?
So hopefully they will still be trickling in for awhile.

Nice to see you pop by, Bossman.
