Nothing wrong with liking the look of the things we purchase and use, be it audio or video equipment, furniture, cars, clothing, and on and on. Keeping in mind of course that it’s all about the eyes of the beholder. Schiit’s industrial, modernist/minimalist, and to me, at times, possibly art deco vibe is fine with me.
There are always things I’d change if I could. Power switches on the rear don’t really bother me the way I set my gear up on a vertical, open on all sides, 6 shelved stand and I can reach all the switches on all my gear without having to get up from my listening recliner (long arms, LOL). Because I like vertical shelving I like all other controls on a front vertical face plate and nothing on the tops or angled up. I read a suggestion on one of the Schiit threads about using rhinestone stickers of various sizes (I went with black) to cover the basically invisible dimple on the volume knobs of my 3 Schiit amps. Works perfectly, cost me 3 bucks, and now I know where the volume is at all times and it makes it easier for me to hit repeat settings when A/B’ing stuff. Problem solved! But I’d still wish for smaller steps on my Ragnarok for finer tuning of the volume level. Other than that, I’m good with my Schiit.
For those who would like a splash of color, (and I’m not one of them), I wonder what an auto body paint shop could do with those aluminum housings?
