Marv posted a few impressions over in the Aegir 2 thread: https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/schiit-aegir-2-power-amp-impressions.14663/

TBH, the pickings seem pretty slim...

Nerdy as the plot is, Fly Me to the Moon is supposed to be a romantic comedy.

What did you see?

Never expect consistency from the government or any any institution of any size. You're just a number, not a person /customer. Randomly you will be hit with this or that policy, and then the next time randomly you will not.... Sorry for the cynicism it's true and we all know it

No need to be sorry: that's simple facts!

Govt doesn't give a toss.

Corporate gives a huge toss --- for its profits and its billionaire founders. Not for its customers. And any other impression, when a business is young, is just a loss leader.

Amazon Prime membership... Thanks @lithium. Yes, this deserves a rethink.
It's cheaper in this country. But what are we paying for?

It should be rebranded "Just Give Us A Bit More Money."

Come to think of it, it means they must be implementing *slower delivery to non-prime customers* !

@Tchoupitoulas - I actually heard the RD-x over a year ago at this point (both the mk1 and mk2 mods) and I put my name on the waiting list then (I already have a stock 2021 LCD-x sitting and ready to go). I wanted to hear them because this is the final mod version and I wanted to confirm that I still wanted to wait for RD to restart modding. TLDR... I'm going to keep waiting.

@rhythmdevils... I'm afraid to listen the to RD-4, because I can't afford them...

I can’t believe it’s been a year now. f**k this illness. :-/

You can hold onto the RD-X until you get back and can listen to them. :)

@rhythmdevils - most awesome friend ever!

Might be for the best

Definitely interested. I've been looking for a good example of a DS dac to use with the T3.

Any recommendations on smallish efficient speakers?

@joch I'm an ANUK junkie, so take that as a grain of salt, but maybe try tracking down some AN-K's

@atomicbob ... Thank you! (I simply had to turn my amp around... smh)

Last social media post was three years ago, too. Kinda inauspicious. I’ve got two Allo streamers, sounds like I should keep a backup plan for if/when they kick the bucket. Hope you get your issue resolved!

But yet it looks like they will still sell you stuff... website appears to be operational. But I suppose they could take the money and not be shipping anything... forcing everyone to do chargebacks

Oh that’s not good news.

Just wondering if your USB Ethernet is RPI confirmed? http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Ethernet_adapters If yours is on the list then I’m bummed out for you

I never knew that list existed... I'll have to go look (I already returned the ones I had purchased) THANKS!

To set anyone's expectations... mine has been on order since Nov 1 @ noon... at the time their site quoted ships in 1-3 days. As of right now, they don't have a date.

I guess they sold better than expected

MIB shows shipping in 5-7 days now on their site.

That's tough to hear, I had high hopes for them after hearing the S4X. If they don't do right by the customer that's a no-buy for me.

Update... I put up the profile post, and they respond this morning... stating that my junk mail filter must not have let their message thru. They are supposed to be arranging for it to be picked up (presumably via UPS or something) on Monday. Will update

Further update - DHL arrived to pick up the headphones today. Unfortunately, they're going back to Slovenia... so I assume it will be quite some time before they make their way back to me.

FWIW, I haven't listened to it yet - I don't have any Senn cables here at the office.

used canned air or other clean & light pressure air source. Use said tool to lightly blow the back of the driver. Start further away and slowly get closer if the job isn't getting done. Senn driver will be fine.

Jupiter has a page on his website about this: https://www.jupiteraudioresearch.com/3bbfee62-f602-469f-a2f0-652fa074a7af

Only missing JAR580, JAR800, and JAR6x0 v1.5, and you've caught them all!

Given the price for one cable, get two of them, cut both and reconnect the two males via a terminal block which you can then insulate using tape, might not be easy on the eye but it should work

@mitochondrium ... yep, I was going to do that if no one could point me at a finished product. It will be hidden behind the TV so it's not like anyone will see the splice. But I'm sure my wife will ask whether its safe (that's what she does)

Well terminal blocks are standard issue to connect lamps to wiring and back when there still light bulbs those drew more current than most TV do nowadays ( probably do not need to convince you). You may use a heat shrink tube instead of tape for the insulation, might look more convincing

Is this something new and the email beat the website update? Or is this marketing the old?

Look closely. New casing, now with remote, NOS mode.

Very curious about the NOS mode as well.

That's why I legit don't take vacations :)

You got back on so that you have the money to go back to Spain/Italy. :)

If it seems fine I wouldn't be TOO concerned. Main concern with impact damage on a hard drive is that the drive heads will make contact with the magnetic platters, and if that didn't happen you should be fine

In particular heads hitting a spinning platter is very bad, but in an unpowered drive the heads should be "parked" and less sensitive to impact. Also, the packaging has done its job, like the crumple zones on a car, so much better than an impact to a bare HDD. I'd do a scan for bad sectors and check the SMART info before you reshape/rebuild your RAID with it, but probably nothing to worry about.

@Kernel Kurtz gives solid advice.

I feel like I'm shifting this around every 10 minutes...
