........................right.........so if I want a Schiit product I can just buy another external transformer that I have to be sure is of high quality to not impact the sound, dopuble up on mains cables and also make sure the frequency matchs, which the base does not. All because Schiit a popular online(international) audio company in 2023 cant wind transformers for the rest of the world when even the smallest chinese company can.
Chill. It's a known limited release. There are options if you want them. If not, well sometimes that's the way the cookies crumble.

"Who are you?"
"I am Number Two."
"Who is Number One?"
"You are number <bank account number>"
"I'm not a number. I'm a FREE MAN!"
"Whoa HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ha ha ha..."
Great song, Prisoner, by Iron Maiden on "The Number of the Beast" album. Based based on the TV series of the same name.

Maybe, maybe not. There is "Power Switches"... which I'm pretty sure was on there because of the back or front question that constantly pops up! (it was added in Dec 2021 BTW)
Time to update my eye glass prescription, it seems. :rolling_eyes:

I'm getting a new one for my birthday next month. It's on a stand with a shelf. The one that I have now is twelve years old and I did a lot of cooking on it. A big Weber fan. Have a Genesis gas grill too.
You need the SNS grills accessories for the Weber. It takes it up another level of performance.

I believe I have that model. The shelf is super convenient.

Two of the best things ever: ^^^^^^^ right ^^^^^^^^ here, I tell ya.
I might want to move the Swingline, lest it reach 155F...

p.s. - j/k; after 3 hours of playing music, I must say that the thermal management strategy for this machine is sweet. It's quite warm, but in very distinct places - however, do not try to lift this device when it's on, or recently powered-off. The bottom is hotter than Schiit, too. The entire machine kinda exudes a new-car smell, which is somehow pleasing. More to come soonest, it's been a long day and listening to this amazing thing with "all switches down" has been a fine cap to it. L8r.

PSA: If you have an Urd and a Yggy...
(or, if you have any way to play a CD or an LP)

Buy the 50th Anniversary Version of David Crosby's "If I Could Only Remember My Name". You'll thank me. And then, buy the LP.

I have never heard a remaster like this. It simply stuns. Thanks for turning me on to this, guys... another reason I love this forum!
A clear demonstration of simple Truths:

1- A performance well recorded and mixed in the studio.
2- A proper transfer of the original master tape using technological advancements that are pure while also improving sonics.
3- Proper mastering.
4- Playback via Redbook CD and a good system. Or URD + Yggy, for that extra special sauce.

Can the politics. Everywhere is stupid in one way or another, we get it.

Too early to give impressions (other than WOW!!), but mine has finally landed as well :)

I say finally because the past two days have been super stressful.
FedEx "delivered" the MJ3 on Monday to my office building, but not my office suite ... The signature which I believe to be fake was simply signed as "TTT" (3x capital T's), and the package had been AWOL until this morning.
I finally located it this morning next to our building's outgoing FedEx dropbox on the ground floor.



Thanking my lucky stars that I happened across it when I did because I was at wits end with FedEx's lack of accountability or willingness to explain how a package with a clearly labeled suite number was handled.
