Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

Rockin' the Dragon...

After all, this is the year of the Dragon.

Does anyone know how many watts of Class A bias the Tyr has? I've tried googling, reading reviews and looking on Schiit's site but couldn't find anything. I know the Aegir has 10W of Class A bias, which Jason said here.

OG Aegir is 10w. Aegir 2 is more like 5w according to Jason. I don't think Jason has stated that for Tyr or Wotan and while Forkbeard will tell you if they're in class A, there's no way to correlate that to actual power output, AFAIK.

Thanks. New artist for me. Sublime.

So good to hear that! Swinging big band with a healthy hit of funk interspersed. And if you do 'rekidz' ( ) the We Release Jazz reissue is stellar! Might be out of print atm but can easily be found on Discogs.

To be fair, Galway's flute in the Shire theme for Lord of the Rings (and other pieces on the soundtrack) was perfect for that piece.*

*Disclaimer: I'm a huge Tolkien nerd. Don't get me started on "Rings of Power" or the latter 2 Hobbit movies.

Haha, I won't get you started. I'm enjoying Rings of Power by distancing it from the source in my head - just letting it be a standalone thing.

The Hobbit films were... BLOATED.

The transition from 1x GHorn to 2x Rekkrs and silver to black is complete. Yep, this is the rig for my computer desktop, for now!!

Debating whether I should switch from black knob back to the standard silver knob on Vali 3.

I understand. Though, Season 2 does get better...! More in tone to TLOTR.

The Hobbit films were... BLOATED.

BLOATED - Watch the extended versions...! Though, the Extended The Battle of the Five Armies did improve things. The final battle was quite a bit longer, and did add some meaningful content.

Now, since they're wanting to milk Tolkein content, with more movies, I'd love to see more Radagast the Brown. I really enjoyed that character...!

Sweet system. Not sure of your age. I like to combine a birth-year-tube with a graduation-year song. Any graduation - my Catholic kindergarten had a graduation!

I've been busy defrosting the pipes outside. The boiler shut down in my parent's house. No heating, no nothing and it's -10°C outside. Finally catching up on this thread.

I might have said this before but Tolkien lived 5 minutes away from my house when he taught at Leeds after The Great War.

There are even nature trails devoted to Tolkien fans where he was inspired and wrote LOTR.

There's a whole slew of them.

Sorry to hear that, are they holding up alright?

Thanks for being a good sport @Ableza

I was trying to be complimentary, but probably in a cack-handed way...

It sounds like you had quite a vinyl collection.

I only have about 400 albums on vinyl, despite starting in 1970 and buying over 50 new LPs in the last 18 months alone...

I worked in radio so amassed quite a few titles back in the day. I never completely cataloged them but I estimate about 20,000 LPs. I sold/gave away all of them back around 2001. I still have about 5500 CDs... not all of them in my music server because many are crap.

We got the boiler back up and running so the heating is back on. There's a strong cold front hitting the north of England.

Sankyo = when you can't afford Sanyo.

** They dabbled in home HiFi if I recall correctly. Definitely at the VERY low-end.

Right up there with Rockwood and Kenford. But don't forget that LG, which stands for Lucky Goldstar, rose from the lowly Goldstar brand knocking off Sony and Magnavox to become one of the industry leaders today...

Haha, two guys working at a furnace store across from our Rockford carrying storefront "distributed" Rockwood and Kenford in the late nineties... hilarious.
