@GearMe

There is another category of user that you probably are with a description that is less insulting:

The people who don't understand music theory but understand what pitch is, understand how the device works, know how to use it, and like the end result.

I don't think Mike wanted to insult someone.

 

[jseymour]

Mike wasn't insulting, you were.

 

[Pietro Cozzi Tinin]

Mike wasn't insulting, you were.

The categories come from Mike. Read his posts.

 

[jseymour]

I have read his posts, but your added comments were insulting. Where did you become the music expert? It was so enjoyable the last couple days where you did not comment on everything. Start your own thread, please.

I know Mike said the gadget wouldn't really work well with genres such as electronic, but I'm still excited to test it out anyway. I can't wait to buy one as soon as I can after it's out. I'm really looking forward to playing through most (if not all) of my CD collection to see how awesome it is. I hope there are many unexpected moments of frisson while using the gadget.

Are there any plans to remove the cancelled prototype from the Schiitr? Or to update it as progress continues on its successor? I will be in town starting this weekend and hope to deepen my understanding of the gadget with an extended listening session, ideally with the HD800 or LCD-XC that hopefully have been returned after their RMAF-related absence.

Daughter and I are going to the Met to see Tosca from the cheap seats.

Any suggestions/tips on how to navigate Lincoln Center?

The below is a few pages late, but I cannot resist:

[SNIP] . As I got to know him, he shared Mr. Levine's preferences, known well to all involved with him professionally, including the Met who hired him in spite [SNIP]
[SNIP] Another Theta customer was a very famous film composer, who shared many similar sordid stories about motion picture producers, directors, and agents of all kinds who could have not continued without massive corruption. [SNIP]
[SNIP] ... Washington Huskies specifically. These players were involved in activities such as rape, armed robbery, stabbings, shootings, assault, and serial drunk/drugged driving.. [SNIP]
Now, if we have some Schiit employee behaving as above we will find a way to get rid of him, even given California's very forgiving employment laws. We have no direct reason to keep such people for hours, much less for decades. Makes me grateful to be in a biz which lacks sufficient money to be corrupt on any other than very petty levels. Also it is much easier for me to sleep at night.

I was gonna comment on Levine, but I decided that on a public forum, better wait until a court of law decides (if ever)

You also touched one another of my pet peeves - I really wish big sports program colleges would stop being feeders to both the NFL and the NBA - it corrupts schools and makes them lose focus of their true mission - think Sandowski/Paterno as one of the worst examples, but even the ones the are not involved in wrong doing, I think it's obscene that these sport programs exist that do nothing but feed the program itself with the money the athletes never see (unless they make it to the NFL/NBA - how many do?)...

I am surprised re: your comment on CA employment's laws - I have worked in CA pretty much all my life; as an "at-will" state, they get rid of us pretty easy... CA Tenant laws on the other hand...

I love those images, especially the climbing one. I do quite a bit of actual climbing and skiing on places like this or this, and mountain ascents and descents are the imagery most readily evoked in my mind by great abstract music.(snip)

[bosiemoncrieff]

Is it CA tenant laws? I thought it was just SF, Oakland, Berkeley, and various parts of LA. Rent control is municipal. (My pet peeve, by contrast, are the zoning laws that constrain supply and make rent control politically popular.)

Speaking of having "touched" on one of your pet peeves — have you heard the title to Sandusky's "f you karma!" 2001 autobiography?

EDIT: Go to Joe the art of coffee.

It really depends on the size of your company. A small company can fire people "at will" without much risk of blow back, there is a much larger risk for larger companies that perform such "at will" firing.

No suggestions, but man oh man, that's my favorite Puccini, everybody dies by the end. Simply fantastic!

I am really looking forward to the final development of The Gadget, to see it launch, and to start reading reviews from the community here on Mike's blog.
I doubt that any of us actually know "how" it works...that's the proprietary software developed my Mike and the Good Doctor at Schiit Audio.

I am cool with that.
And, with @basstrombone having parties with friends tuning their t-bones down to A=432, and enjoying the sound difference, that's good enough for me!

I'm also looking forward to experimenting with the pitch of my system via the JRiver change suggested by @johnjen - will test it this week!

Cheers All,
