Ahhhhhhh! My children! My babies!

I spend a lot of every day of my shift on some aspect of those three whiskies. Love to see them out being loved on! Thanks so much for sharing the photo!

I have yet to try the rye and wheat but I will at some point. My only source is about 50 miles away but I will get back there one day soon. Today I am stuck in my shop but I am streaming a John Mayer collection on Qobuz so life is good. We are also about to try a technology I have not used before using a smart oven, QR codes, and Wi-Fi.

If so, it looks pretty interesting.

Yep, ever try one? My wife is shopping at Trader Joe's for compatible food today. We have used other services but this one looks interesting and you have the flexibility of using compatible brands.

Alas, I don't use balanced connections so I don't really want to pay $400+ for a preamp with either a DAC or phono (but not both) and or no remote. Once up in those ranges, I might as well get a new Yamaha AS-501 integrated and call it done. I keep suggesting that Fosi Audio jump on making a multi-input solid state preamp, perhaps they will see the light, particularly if Schiit moves away from offering something at that $300 price point?

Physics or stamp collecting?

Exactly. What is claimed to be science these days is no more than a false religion. I always chuckle when I hear ‘I believe in Science’.

Epistemology? Maybe combined with math/propositional logic? Topped off with a soupçon of Encyclopedia Britannica...

huh, science still seems to work here

Of course real science (proven/tested) works.

As a dear friend of mine (who happens to be a PhD chemist) is fond of saying: Everyone has to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer.
He also likes to use the old line about most alcohol being a solution.

Yeah, science, but the farther out you get in physics, the more it resembles metaphysics...

Hey, what's up with the discontinuation of the Saga S? Is Schiit going to be coming out with a new solid state only preamp in 2024? (I have long hoped for the Saga S form factor, but with the addition of an onboard/optional phono pre slot.)

A little odd how it went straight to b-stock/closeout and skipped the "Last Call" they are doing for the other recent announcements.

 

[monf3307]

BTW i bought a Saga+ and a LISST module for exactly this purpose. It was $150 more than Saga S for the same functionality, but I thought the extra dollars were justified by having extra options. I like options!

I love tubes but am not certain they have a place in pre-amp. But this keeps the door open.

Jason did announce they would be discontinued . I bought mine shortly after. Late last April if memory serves.

Uh-oh. You should probably take this off repeat and watch something else for a while. The rest of us will pray for the population of Indiana.
