+1.

in some instances, perhaps the records showed inventory of product X, but the exact location within Schiit facilities wasn't well documented (e.g. 2nd run of Freya S happened because they "found" a batch of production-quality metalwork; ERP system was just added within the last year or two; after the introduction of latest Magni+ and Modi+ Jason posted that they located a run or two of older Magni and Modi units, etc.)

Understood, but for the Yggy’s, if they found components they would cased them up as Yggy + units.
Many many years ago I was a controller for a grass seed company, and my warehouse guy could lay his hands on any arcane product, down to the lot number in five minutes or less.

Maybe not "beer" so much as it's darker cousin - there are quite a few Stouts aged in Bourbon, Whisky rum casks too. Here's some we have tried :

Name	Brewery	Country	Alcohol
Bourbon Aged Stout	Innis & Gunn	Scotland	7.40%​
Rockafella Bourbon Barrel Aged Dark Ale	Stockade Brew Co	Australia	5.50%​
Bourbon Barrel Stout	Anderson Valley Brewing Co.	USA	6.90%​
Trinity in Black Bourbon BA	Puhaste	Estonia	13.50%​
Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout	Hawkers Beer	Australia	12.80%​
Muda Bourbon/Maple Syrup BA	Puhaste	Estonia	12.00%​

Edit
Found two more on my list:

Barrel Aged Victory at Sea	Ballast Point Brewing Co	USA	12.00%​
CBS	Founders Brewing	USA	11.70%​

BA Victory at Sea is one of the best we have had.

There is also Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Aged Ale. Haven't had one in a while, but it is delicious.

I have a pair of Infinity Renaissance 80 speakers and one has developed a blown tweeter. Does anyone know where to obtain a replacement or are these speakers at end of life?

This is some of the finest research that has been published here all week.

I think schiit sells what they want, when they want on B stock.

I take their available B stock inventory to mean this is whats offered for sale right now.

I do not take it to mean this is all they have left of X.

Basically the return policy, hence the stocking fee.

In case anyone missed this.

Not to sound disrespectful, but I couldn't stop seeing trucknutz on the reviewer's chin.

Class A vs the Rest

Hey guys,

I recently wrote a chapter on all the different flavors of Class A (SE, push-pull, complementary, etc). And of course someone asked if we could compare all different kinds, how it compares to AB, what about Continuity...great questions, but kinda hard to implement the same kind of amp with different types of output stages.

Or so I thought.

Here's what we can do: we can compare Class AB, Class A, and Continuity amps that are otherwise exactly the same. And we can do it blind. And we can see where the chips fall. Hey, maybe everyone will love AB and we can all save a ton of power.


All the best,
Jason

But if the first 10 watts is class A in all the examples, how often will you hear the np mismatch or other class b uglies?

 

[Jason Stoddard]

But if the first 10 watts is class A in all the examples, how often will you hear the np mismatch or other class b uglies?

It isn't.

Class AB will be about 1W. Typical of a good Class AB amp. And it has the Continity stuff removed.
Continuity™ will be about 10W, as it always has.
Class A will be 20W. And it has the Continuity stuff removed.

Of course, Class A is Class A complementary, not Class A SE or Class A push-pull. Those would require a lot more work to change the output stage. Maybe in the future. I only had this idea last week, after all.

Ron has been doing the review thing in Texas for a while and has a fair amount of Schiit come through his studio
The "trucknutz" look is a pretty radical departure from what he was sporting a couple years back (Bifrost 2 review)

To trucknutz, or not to trucknutz ...

Regardless of appearances I enjoy his style and approach - as with all reviewers, take with a grain of salt and do your own research, OR just ask the people in this thread who have owned every piece of Schiit that has ever been made!

I have a bottle of Glenlivet finished in a champagne barrel. I prefer their "regular" offering. But that's just me.

The last time I found Oban here, it was their "Special" that was finished in (I think) a sherry cask. Too sweet for me - I prefer their regular offering, but it's hard to find - they are a small distiller. Oh, and this is Tennessee.

EMIT Tweeters Pair 502-5228

Here's a U.S. listing for what appears to be the same tweeters.

HE EMIT

Also, there's a member at the AudioKarma Infinity Forum, that has been developing replacement diaphragms for Infinity speakers. Midrange domes, and EMIT and Emim's. He's now working on a HE Emim. I would think he'll soon start a HE EMIT project. I'd contact him, and see if that is something he'd consider doing?

One other possibility for parts, is Infinity Germany. European countries require spare parts support much longer than the U.S. I've read about Infinity owners finding parts at Infinity or eBay in Germany.

Good luck.

Early this morning I decided to listen to some music that uses Dolby Atmos for the headphones only. This is on Amazon. Many years ago I bought several Dolby Surround encoded CDs such as movie soundtracks, etc. Nice music but via headphones or speakers there was no discernible difference for me. I hoped Atmos would be an improvement.

It was not.

When I read about people that experience things like Dolby Atmos for headphones and they say it is really good and then I listen and I do not hear Schiit (aka: excellent results!) I begin to wonder if Dolby Atmos ain't nuffin' but MQA². Of course I can hear a difference in film that is properly encoded/decoded in Atmos and especially so Action/Adventure films but music is music and even with Quad in the '70s I never felt as though I "was there".

Listening to the Atmos stuff cost me only time but at 2 a.m., I am not really doing anything else. Hopefully this version of Atmos will get better for both 'phones and speakers (especially so via speakers). Like all things music and equipment oriented if I can not hear a real difference within 30 to 60 or so seconds I tend to go on to the next selection. I did listen to a variety of Atmos encoded genres, some longer because I kinda liked the music and some for as long as it took me to recoginze cRap and hit the "next" button but if there was no revelation to be heard I refuse to strain my ears to find the "magic". There was no difference to ME as far as "special spacializationizing". Bummer.

I am an more an audio enthusiast as opposed to Audiophile and I am definitely not a frAudiophile. It is kinda sorta like bodybuilding. I am no longer what I consider to be a bodybuilder but I am more that which used to be called a "Physical Culturist".

I think Dolby can make Atmos work for music, perhaps more so for multiple speaker set ups and less for headphones? For now, "stereo" is more than capable of keeping me satisfied. Especially via headphones.

I've found Ron at New Record Day has seemed to have gotten a bit more sanctimonious in his presentation in the last couple years. I used to like him but he kind of grates on me the wrong way now. It could be the trucknutz beard but I don't think it is just that.

I so want black tops for my Vidars but Schiit had no spare metal when I asked. I might try agin. I mean again

Put an ad in the classified: trade section.

We start there.

Then we take the rest.
