I admit the there may be a conflict at this time between enthusiasm for the experiment and recommendations for social distancing & face masks. :thinking:

Perhaps we need to consult our good doctor on the other side of the pond?? I'm confident that the intellectual resources available on this forum can solve almost any problem!

Cheers, Jim

Made a Schiit Lego stack using 3M Dual-Lock tape. Powered mostly with one Chtulu, unless using the Wyrd and Eitr simultaneously. I suppose I could swap out the Wyrd for the Modi 3, and switch between DACs, but I figured I’d use the Sys to hook up to any other analog source

great idea to use double-sided re-closable tape to stick-your-schiit-together.

Just the pyst ones. I have an old Monster 3.5 mm to RCA that's built like a tank for connecting any arbitrary line out to the other Sys input. I suppose I could also plug a phono preamp in there, but I never listen to vinyl with headphones.

Why go to all that effort and trouble when the results are so easily predictable? I'm right, and everyone else is, um, not exactly.

You're welcome.

:)
Why does this sound like my cats, stating the obvious…?

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Not to slight your local businessman, but North Carolina barbeque is so superior to Texas barbeque that any attempted comparison is simply frivolous. :)
And I have to ask myself why bcowen is going after THE Texas sacred cow in the 1st place… :thinking:

Makes ya wonder, don't it?
hahahahahahahahahahahahah :ksc75smile:

You are entitled to your opinion, however wrong it is. Oh, wait, that reminds me of another subject of debate...

NEVER slaughter a hog while hung over.

Trust me

Sounds like there is a story behind that statement. You are no obligated to share. With photos.

Proper diet bolsters your immune system. Problem solved. Besides, if there is Schiit playing in the background (it'll have to be playing loud to be heard over the whoopin' and hollerin'), nothing bad can happen, right?

Now hold on a minute. We Texans are an inclusive bunch who respect all different religions: BBQ and football.

I remember that scene from the movie The Name Of The Rose... loosely based on the novel by Umberto Eco. Oh, some of that crimson sausage. Yeah, no. Sober hog slaughtering... gotcha. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

What a glorious block of tentacled brushed aluminum. So, you mean one uses double sided carpet tape?! I gave up after using sticky, residue-leaving electrical tape. I might try that out. Cool image, eh.

Strictly FYI to my peers: apparently, there's some free music from an independent record label in California. MA Recordings. After checking it for malware, I extracted the files from its download. It seems on the up-and-up. Anyway, here's a screenshot of the music files in case one's curious...

Seriously this Covid19 virus should just stop, whither and vanish. So we can get our new Schiit products announced. Like the Loki Supreme!

it's not double stick, but rather reclosable fasteners. I guess there could still be residue if I ever try to remove the tape, but I can swap out other items (depending on orientation) without removing tape, just pull them apart
**edit** the thickness is just about right too, since everything lines up whether the device has the stick on feet, or the new, shorter pressed-in feet**
