    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    The (now getting-to-be-standard) weekly update: 1. WE HAVE A BUILDING in San Antonio! Now the big move starts. As a reminder, we are staying in Corpus Christi as well. If you're interested in where we'll be, it's near UTSA, off De Zavala. Really good location for us. 2. Still looking good for...

    It's a dedicated tube phono preamp.

    Mono is in on Stjarna. I still think it is a beyond-edge-case. None of the phono aficionados at Schiit think it's important, and some of them go very very deep. We mocked it up today, went out and bought mono records, tried it out...end result was pretty much shrugs all around. This is stereo...

    Basically Aegir. Now looks like next week.

    Proceeding to qualifying prototypes. No timeline yet. This year is possible. Make a case for mono, now is the time.

    Not down for the count...just waiting for additional processing power for higher rates, which is now finally available. In the meantime, we've added a lot more capabilities. You'll see.

    In this case, drums. He also produces. In a Boerne shop:

    Also looks like our head of QC, who is a quite accomplished musician in LA, is coming to San Antonio...

    For an actual update: 1. Kraken maybe next week. We'll see. 2. Saga 2 is being a weiner. It may be more like a month out. I'll get a new chapter up in any case this week...just general fun stuff about businesses. Se #2 above and repeat, "There will always be pain. But it will be OK."

    LOL, yeah that tracks. One of our guys, I believe Evan, actually got fed by the DMV when he came in because they were having a pot luck or something. Oh and Boerne--have you met the guy who has his poodle ride around in his motorcycle sidecar? Oddly enough, Armchair Philosopher, AND a high...

    Almost missed National Tortoise Day! Yes, that's Lisa, making medieval-style tile for our house under construction, and Warwick, a random tortoise eating an apple. Typical weekend in Corpus Christi.

    Oh that's horrifying. There are probably more than a few alternate universes where there is no Schiit Audio because I tripped and went head-first into our Frankensaw in the speaker days (think 5HP motor, 8' table, no guards, blade usually all the way up). I'm a giant baby now, and use a Dewalt...

    Everything is relative. I'm originally from a comparatively hot part of California, where heat ranges from "hot as balls" to "hot as Satan's left testicle" for 4 months out of the year, not the perfect LA weather as portrayed in a lot of screen fantasies. In Texas, it's more like "hot, HaB, or...
