Purchased 05/23 as graded stock, used for 6 months in smoke free, pet free house. Reason for sale - upgraded to Schiit Bifrost in 12/23 Used very occasionally since 12/23 for comparison with Bifrost; the Modius is very good, and as with all Schiit gear, is astounding value for money...

Sad news indeed. One of the pleasures of signing up to Qobuz has been to be able compare the versions of "Carolina In My Mind" by Kate Rusby, James Taylor (his later, more laid-back version) and Melanie, and appreciate their different approaches to the song, and to performance in general. On...

A short digression from the topic du jour. This morning’s main system; Apple->Modius E->Lyr +->Gjallahorn->Ram 1 speakers. This afternoon’s main system; Apple->Bifrost 2/64->Lyr +->Gjallahorn->Ram 1 speakers. And the reaction to the change from Modius to Bifrost is ……….goosebumps. Right...

Right up there with it, also from a "news" paper (Rupert Murdoch's Sun), was this gem when in the Scottish soccer league, comparative minnows Inverness Caledonian Thistle, (Caley to one and all) beat all-conquering Glasgow Celtic.

And for all those reading this and pronouncing “Slaithwaite” phonetically, round these parts it’s pronounced “Slowit”, with the Slow rhyming with Cow. I would say “us locals round these parts”, but Slowit is two valleys away, which makes it bandit country.

So, to cover 2.5 Sine wave topics in one post; classic cars (specifically an MGC) and music, I’ll suggest the YouTube video lower down. It’s a track by Scottish artists Kim Edgar and Horse MacDonald (real name Sheena, I’ve no idea why she’s known as Horse) called Save Myself (Run Away) and...

DEATH. (One for the Terry Pratchett / Discworld contingent.)

This puts me in mind of a song that would be a good work-out for the Syn owners on here. Led Zep II What Is and What Should Never Be.

Sure, here you go; USB-C - USB-C Apple supported USB 2.0 cable, 5m / 16' Retailer: DDIYYI USB-A - Lightning Apple supported cable, 5m/16' Retailer: Quanlex USB-C - Lightning Non-Apple supported cable (but works anyway from iPad/iPhone to Modius), 5m / 16' Brand: Animiel. I can't provide a...

Just to say thanks to all the people who chimed in on this; corndog71, ludvigrollover, golfbravobravo and Clifh93. I didn't go with the Wiim streamer although that would have done the job; I wanted a long cable that would stretch from the listening chair, facing the speakers (and Schiit kit) or...

New topic (I think) for the sine wave. Now that I have my schiit kit, I want to feed my Modius E from my iPad. Using a standard cable works fine with the iPad->Apple Camera Adaptor->USB-A-cable-USB-C->Modius. The problem is that the longest known working cable I can find that says it works with...

"I'm trying to find the name of the modern jazz drummer who plays and sounds like a drum machine". It's a bit of a stretch to suggest him as a modern jazz drummer, but the great Jaki Liebezeit of Can had the drum like a machine part nailed. Was it him?

Correct. Only the gorilla suit is optional. The air drum solo is not.

Anyone else been called poo-head by SchiitTalker? "Well, poo-head, it sounds like you're having some trouble getting your Modius E to work with your iPad." We were getting on so well up until that point too. Having finally taken the plunge and become the happy owner of a Lyr+ driving...

I‘d have thought that Friday the 7th of April was the obvious launch date. That way Jason could use the launch line of “All our Syns are redeemed.” And be lynched twice over. Once by the audio crowd and then by those who treasure Good Friday as commemorating a somewhat earlier mob.

Well, when you've tried everything else, there's always guga. The article takes a while to get to the culinary bit, but it's worth the read. First, catch your gannet. Oh, and my response to quizzical looks about my age vs attitude is "you're as old as you behave." You can guess the replies.

Yes, they've been doing that for a few decades now; and here's where they explain why........ Here's what the neighbours think of us

Well, I thought you'd be inundated with suggestions, but the soundtrack shout-outs seem to have caught everyone's attention. My recommendation, based on absolutely zero knowledge of your tastes, and having never knowingly heard Teddy Thompson would be the third Pete Atkin album, A King At...

My bad. I omitted “TV”.

For those of us in the UK and with long memories, the early ’70’s was truly a golden era for music. This is a gem. The Old Grey Whistle test was the show for contemporary music, and in this episode there is: 1 a clumsy attempt at a cultural sneer against the band featured in this clip, who...

Victoria: Tenebrae Responsories / Lamentations, Trinity College Cambridge Choir, Marlow. Haunting, languid, mournful, peaceful. "Tenebrae" means "Into the Darkness" as the music was written by Tomas Luis de Victoria (1568-1611) for the Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday services...

I'll join the favourite lyrics portion of the sine wave. Translators note quid = one UK pound sterling five knicker = five quid Prices are at 1970 levels. On the midsummer fairground alive with the sound And the lights of the Wurlitzer merry-go-round The midway was crowded and I was the man...

Hi earnmyturns, Thank you, this is the information I needed. I could have drawn the same graph as you, but without understanding the context then it wouldn't have helped me. You've provided that context, and have thumbs up from a number of knowledgeable members, including at least one known...

Thank you Paladin79 and Sam6650a for the updates.

Hi, Thanks for the suggestion, and the concern for my (elderly) hearing! :dt880smile: Yes, the amp and headphones can deliver ear-melting volume, and in my youth the amp and my speakers used to do exactly that. However, even though I've got the expected hearing loss that goes with age, I'm...
