At the risk of jinxing them, I want to congratulate Schitt on being a learning organization. Sometimes we overlook the good things and instead focus on the snafus. I think Schiit is to be congratulated for releasing several new products recently without spilling the beans about exactly what they would be and creating long waits and much angst among their followers. This time around they surprised us by delivering just about everything we might have guessed was coming in a few short weeks. It's a complete turnaround from the long wait for Yggy. I know that's hardly fair because Yggy broke new ground on which the derivatives are based but still Schitt is to be congratulated for being more discreet this time around. Jason wrote he had learned his lesson about announcing new products too far in advance and the recent introductions prove that. We knew there would be new products but never could be 100% sure what they would be.
Secondly, this time around Schitt appears to be fully stocked (should I say full of Schiit?) and able to meet current demand. My Gumby arrived almost before I could get home to sign for it. I noticed that most everybody is reporting their orders for Gumbys, Bimby's and all the great new stuff are being shipped within hours. No backorders yet. Looks like Schiit has managed to figure out demand and stock up. Once again, I think they deserve a lot of credit for tweaking their system. Sure every company can run out of stock on an item and this may happen to one of the new items but at least these weren't announcements of vaporware that was coming next month that never came, Schitt delivered the goods right now. Perhaps with experience they have learned all the pitfalls that slow down a product introduction and maybe even avoided some of them. It's either a clear change in paradigm or for once everything went right instead of wrong. Which is it Jason?
Way to go! And thanks for Gumby. It's a great DAC and a fabulous value.
