I like to refer Tom's boards as SERVING boards. Far too nice to do any actual cutting on them.

@Paladin79 and I have just agreed on a licensing arrangement that will allow him to provide a disposable, custom-fit cardboard cover to go on top of the board. This will prevent any marring of the board surface, and when done cutting for the day simply dispose of the cover. Initial pricing will be $499.00 (USD) for a pack of 6.

I would love to get a cutting board like that for my wife, but when I show her pictures of your work she says they are too pretty cut on.

Thus I call them charcuterie boards, food is served on them but I recommend a second small cutting board if using one of these for meats, cheeses, fruit, etc. I just caved and sold that one for $250 since the lady threw in homemade cookies lol. That board has some rare and expensive woods but I decided to work on higher end pieces and make less of them. Cutting boards I might use one or two nice stripes but generally I use oak, maple and hickory which are much less expensive. One lady just asked for one that went with her kitchen and it will be displayed but not used often.

Aegir has a front panel push-button that de-biases the outputs. Idle current is low when in standby. Just like Tyr.
No need to do the Schiit ReachAround on those amps.

Ah I wasn't fulling explaining my thinking about the on/off. The Furman trigger gets around needing to explain to my wife that she needs to push three buttons on three devices before she can play music from Spotify. And she wasn't a fan of the extra amp to begin with.

The Furman makes it a single on, with the Peachtree PreDAC, which she is already familiar and trained with.

I would consider other Schiit gear like the Syn but the on/off situation is one of the "user flow" experiences I have to design around. I need to research other power filter devices like the Furman with triggered outlets that are smaller.

We just need to presell a few hundred of those before we go into mass production. Bill will be busy with an exacto knife and a pair of scissors since the first batch will be custom made. Profits will be used to make sure the Balvenie distillery still has plenty of business, a very worthy cause.

Are they cryo treated?

Same here.

Three buttons? It requires throwing a dozen switches to get my main system going.
Not to mention the eight remotes.
I need help, I know...

 

[Paladin79]

Same here.

I hope I sent you one once, if not I meant to, that is practically the same thing.

So, I feel like I recently read some reference to playlist transfers here but I wanted to ask specifically if anyone has experience with transferring playlists from Spotify over to Qobuz? I have to imagine there will be some number of missing songs because the Qobuz catalog isn't quite as robust, even though it's grown considerably over the 3 years I've been a subscriber.

I'd rather spend time with a company who is going to pay artists more fairly instead of giving all the money to Joe Rogan and who isn't still stuck in the yesteryear of lossy streaming.

Thanks for any pointers!

No direct experience between the two aforementioned platforms, but I have transferred playlists from YouTube Music over into Tidal. Tidal used a third party application to make the transfer. I thought it was a little odd at first (since you have to enter credentials... always find that off-putting) but after doing a little research, found that it was all on the up and up. YMMV

So, is there any reason why a Freya N would be inferior to the Valhalla 2 as a preamp into a Rekkr? I I would suspect the Freya should be superior.
