Why does it seem that Mimbys are tanking in price? People are asking 170-160. Before that I thought 180 was a fair price to ask. Jan 28, 2019

    FUD over Schiit's upcoming releases, maybe? That and the fact as more Mimbys sell in total it could decrease competitive resale value (as more people selling their old units).

  Sometime you read something and you have to use "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything, but its so hard sometimes.

    Imagine the world without criticism. Nothing would get done, just a lot of people harboring a heap of pent up anger.

    @JK47 actually I think a ton of stuff would get done. It would just all be really, really shitty stuff.

    The world would be an abject disaster without constructive criticism.

    This is why I took a hiatus from the hobby a few years back; going full asshat over gear makes me want to smack someone upside the head.
    
    @Cspirou God forbid Topping or any other brand make V2 releases of anything

    Well I will say this Schiit posted measurements for the first time and in the press release mentioned that this was "the first product developed using new investments in Audio Precision and Avermetrics" so there is something to that. They, The ASR people, are already saying thats because of them...

    @loki993 - Oh they can correctly claim that it's because of ASR. But probably because it generated a lot of stupid bullshit inquiries that it affected their customer service. Now just point to a link and STFU.

    And Amir makes an appearance saying its up to the manufacturer to dispute his claims...even though he is the only one claiming it. I must fight the temptation to post. No good will come of it

    Why would anyone EVER trust the measurements from a manufacturer?
    
    That being said, i'll take a manufacturer over Amir any day.

    With one or two exceptions, I thought that "measurements" from manufacturers, aka "specs," were actually called advertising?

  Seeing the new Solo trailer only solidifies the fact that this movie could have been far more interesting if it was about Lando and not Han

    I’m looking forward to it. I still think only Harris Ford can pull off the perfect amount of arrogance needed for Han and Indiana Jones.

    See I am not expecting someone to come in and try to channel Harrison Ford like some people want. but they need to capture the spirit of the character and that I haven't seen.

    Its getting a surprise release at cannes, so hopefully that's a good thing. If we get reviews from that all is good...if there is an embargo brace for the suck.

    Reddit just seems like a nightmare to navigate so I always stayed away.
