Damn, I had no idea I had his fine work in my possession

There's a lot of entertainment from his digital footprint, but easily the tops for me were the poor models he somehow convinced (paid, I guess) to post nude/semi-nude with his sparkly PVC pipe power cords covering their bits, along with his like weird slow lifting kettlebell "proprietary" technique videos.

@fraggler - you nailed it. It's work to figure out WTF you're even trying to buy - trust me, I've scoured Ali a few times and end up leaving from the trash website.

IIRC there is a plugin, app, or similar tool that helps filter out China based sellers for Amazon and Etsy. Can't remember the name of it.

Like @penguins said, the copy cats are all all over Amazon and Etsy and have been all over ebay for quite sometime. Although I see fewer on ebay lately because Aliexpress becoming more popular and the ever increasing fees at the bay.

Nothing cooking at the moment, but thanks for buying shirts.

Vote for cat with eye patch, and cutlass in hand stabbing AMIRNAD or making pink panther walk the plank

Ok that is good. I may try that one.

@Vansen I guess he is looking for one in used market.

Vansen - it was mostly commentary that people are keeping them. Congrats Schiit. But, I am also keeping an eye on their b-stock page or the used market. I am a frugal - Ksaurav is correct.

Ah - secondary market, not "where'd Gungnir go?". Used market is the way to go for me with audio, too.

IMO, SBAF delicately balances being very involved in the hobby and keeping it at arm's length, at the same time. Not indulging so heavily in the hobby that it becomes exhausting and draining, but always keeping its ears to the products and companies that are doing something better and different than the rest.

Hobbies need breaks too

Agreed @YMO, shit can feel like a job if you let it.

Art takes time.

FWIW, I'm talking to ext1 about a JAR600b now and he's hoping to have it done by the end of summer. He indicated that he has a backlog and also indicate that he may not be able to work on the project past end of summer.

Sorry guys- and thank you for your patience. Plan is to finish them when I get back home this summer, but can't make promises (many reasons, quality standards being one). I want to finish them at summer because I don't know if I can do 6x0 work at all after Aug.

Yup, gain for sure.

Awesome - thank you very much. I hope it solves the popping when holding up/down on the volume.

Luckily I'm invested elsewhere and don't need to invest $600 for a year. Do we receive our sent in pair and not someone else's? I don't think I ever asked that.

I hope they don’t make any new world maps on that day!

You weren't shitting us ...

"Glamdale" woulda worked just fine too, like the one in Calif.

It’s better than their new crop of stuff

Wouldn't happen to be n3rdling's HE90 clone, would it?

Yes, exactly - I kept trying to think of his real name and I keep coming back to Mikhail, but then I go down the Singlepower brain worm. I knew there was a backwards letter too - that's my thing LOL

Maybe just retitle Baldr’s thread “Effing Schiit Happened”

It wouldn't be over 5k pages

I think new accounts would flood it but there might be a solution. What if we had a thread but he used a different account called Jane and we replaced schiit with piiss? Nobody needs to know..

I'm amazed that there are actually existing specimens out in the wild. Hope you get that sorted.

It's like 1 of 25 or less I think. @zerodeefex had/has one too. I think something went on the analog side. It powers up fine.

@Ksaurav402 - if they are released at CanJam, I might have to purchase them. Sennheiser fanboy unfortunately.

available for preorder in Amazon with launch date as 21st Feb

I guess that aligns with your theory. CanJam is the 28th I believe. I'm hoping the treble region isn't too bad. The 660S was too bright for me.

I’m really dense, how would one evaluate the Piety as a preamp?

Do I need extra cables if I want to use it, like a madman, as a preamp for my LAuX? This is what’s going on now: https://i.imgur.com/ze3PWaG.jpg

You'll need to put your source RCA's into the "In" on the Piety and then connect a set of RCA's from the "Out" of the Piety to the "In" on the LAuX. I'm using mine as a preamp into a stereo setup though, with an amplifier that has preamp in's.

Well, now it logged in as standard. Hmm.

Quite happy for my h-f account to be inoperable. I don't operab it anyway.

I got a feeling that's not the end of -10db switch.

They should have made the Magni 3+ the iemagni. It's' such a better amp than the heresy. Maybe it's not quiet enough though or something.

Holy crap that impulse response at 29min is incredible

i wonder if this scales up and you can make a huge panel of them
