I wish Schiit would make a cassette deck....

You aren't the one that would have to open up RMAs with tape exploding the box though.

No. What constitutes a reasonable price is not dependent on the customer. A reasonable price for a product would be a fair price for what the product is, regardless of how much that price is. This applies to commodities and to retail goods. Just because someone can’t afford something does not mean its price is not reasonable. If someone can’t afford something, it would not be reasonable for them to buy it. But that is different than the price being unreasonable. This is not a small nor subtle difference from what you said.

Oh, I am sorry for coming on here and suggesting that Sol was not unreasonably priced.

A Word like affordable does wonders

And I agree. I have no interest in vinyl, and the related paraphernalia, at this point in my personal system. That being said, it appears that SOL is a turntable with features found only on more expensive models. I leaf through magazines and see the turntables and cartridges in the market place.

For me, an affordable alternative would be a good used TT, with a good cartridge. If I owned more than one LP, it would intrigue me and it would be a Reasonable investment. In the Schiit ecosystem, there are a couple of products which sell for a price much smaller than what one would reasonably pay...Vali 2, Modi MB being two glowing examples. I cannot claim this as an original idea, but I tell people my DAC is worth $500, but Schiit always has it on 50% off sale.

I'm just messing with you man. If you must know, I've had a surprise holiday foisted upon me this week so today I'm letting loose for a bit and seeing what trouble I can stir up for poops and giggles. The Sol is FANTASTIC value for the money and If I was into Vinyl again I would have bought one, but those days have passed.

The price is fine, especially considering how much time and labor goes into a first offering of any product. It is never easy to compete against other companies who have been building an item for years and probably have better buying power on specific parts. They might also have pieces made outside the US as other Audio companies often do.

For @Ableza’s statement to be correct something other than USB would have to be using the USB cable.

They are commonly used to strangle rats and repair garden chairs.
Does that count?

 

[Scott Kramer]

Lol, people breaking out the black sharpie, going -juuuust a bit outside- to prove they are right ;D -- oh crap what did I just do

 

[Pietro Cozzi Tinin]

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that a slow clap was considered a form of sarcasm.

It can be tuned with "The Gadget" toward any level of sarcasm you want.

The Gadget is Mike Moffat's project. Mike (@Baldr) posted status recently on his thread:
https://www.head-fi.org/threads/wha...n-robert-hunter.784471/page-773#post-15162321
Summary: project is on hold until they find the right processor that can handle requirements.

Thanks for the link! I hope the heavens smile on Mike in regards to health issues. Regarding the Gadget I'm sure he will find the right processor at just the right time..

I believe the word "reasonable" is the culprit.

Soon I will built a couple more purple cables as gifts, using the same fabric as yours Pietro, it seems to get attention. By the way I really liked the Rosso di Montalcino. I have purchased a few more bottles of the 2016.
