Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
I need more ZZ Top, only song I have is Sharp Dressed Man which is probably the synth sound @ArmchairPhilosopher doesn't like. Song of theirs I know I want a copy of is Legs (I do have to say a sampling of the videos with that song are questionable to modern standards :-O). What do you two...- artur9

Getting a nice stand for the iPad, and a functioning USB into an Yggy would be a fantastic solution. The Qobuz app work for you? I mean, in the sense that's it's not an ergonomic disaster?- artur9

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Other than the question, I don't understand any of that! :smile: Unicomp makes a few models of buckling spring keyboards. There's another company that makes a replica of the original IBM Model-F keyboard. They essentially use the same "engineering diagrams" then use modern materials etc...- artur9

NITSCH x Schiit Magni Piety - Impressions Thread
A bit of a synergy report, in a longwinded story kind of way. When I got the MagPi, I had a Gumby A1 to play through it, using some DT770 headphones from a Mac laptop. I thought it sounded great but the full/warm/organic nature of the Gumby coupled with the warm/full nature of the MagPi was...- artur9

k, business opportunity, maybe, Schiit HVAC Division: Step 1: Solar-powered heat pump to extract heat from pool (pour it into grill?) (so, free cooling, sunnier it is, more free cooling). Awning over pool (heat pump, too, prolly). Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit!- artur9

Mini-M is an old IBM-designed keyboard with the best switches ever made. Not for the faint of heart :-) It's been revived by the company I linked to.- artur9

Schiit Gungnir DAC
I don't know about comparisons to other versions, DACs. The Gumby I had, bought new in May 2017, definitely matched the first description above. It's a cognac DAC compared to all those brandy DACs :-)- artur9

Is that the one with a zinc-metal frame? Excellent keyboard. My Mini-M is a bit better but it was a tough choice...- artur9

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
For me it was the picture from LaserDisc (I still have some, if anyone wants them). Seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark with such crystal clarity! One could, if paying attention, even see the reflection of a cobra on the glass used to protect Harrison Ford. From there, getting the full cinematic...- artur9

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
I have a CA Minx X300(?). I would pass on that, it's not powerful enough nor does it go deep enough. I guess nearfield it would be OK. (if you still want one I'll sell you mine for a good price). I don't think the Starkes have line outs. OTOH, my old SVS SB1000 has high level inputs and...- artur9

Schiit needs to get into a design aesthetic of transformer like components :wink: It's a preamp, but throw this switch here, flip that toggle there, place this on top and it's a Sol!- artur9
