Welcome! Good news for new Schiitizens: I hear Schiit will roll out a program soon where you can assign a portion of your paycheque directly to Schiit. You set a dollar threshold, and when it hits, they send you a random product that fits within that amount.

My friend Clerment, he prepared it.

I lost the reins on him .....

Surely Schiit can easily create an ad campaign featuring Dung Beetles making the switch to Schiit?
"Schitt. Because it doesn't sound like ass!"

My mind is adrift. Again.

Very interesting link! Thanks.

Apple Music Classical (Apple's spin on its Primephonic acquisition) was released yesterday.
Close to a year behind schedule.
Just iPhone — no dedicated iPad, macOS, or AppleTV app.
No offline-listening, either.
CarPlay integration? Nope!
The search works fine but is surprisingly slow, the UI is just as uninspired as the standard Music app's UI, and the player UI is just as horrendously unintuitive.
The Primephonic-esque editorials that were promised are rather hidden away behind a click or two and a few more scrolls, and they are a mere rehash/re-recording of the editorials that were already available on Primephonic.

Dear Apple.
This is how a highly motivated startup like Primephonic might do classical.
It is, however, not befitting of a global behemoth with your knowhow, manpower, catalogue, and quality standards.
Almost 18 months of development?
For this?
Nothing short of absolutely shameful. An abysmal result and an insult to any halfway serious enthusiast of classical music.

Very interesting link! Thanks.

The two highlights for me were when the guy said their processes could achieve 90% of tubes passing spec. which is impressive.

And then he exclaimed “People are willing to pay $1200 to $1500 a pop for them.”

No, the frack I’m not!

The video contains content from NBC Universal, who has blocked it in Hongkong on copyright grounds, so cannot watch it.

Thanks @claybomb - I looked for an update on this just last week. Nothing. Seems somewhat disappointing, that they still haven't released a product, and when they do, it'll be a 12AX7. None of the other tubes on their radar (6L6, EL34, EL84 12 AT7, and 6V6) are on my wish list. I guess I had higher hopes than Western Electric going from a one tube ($1,950CAD mp) company, to a two tube company.

Same here in Canada

Here's another possible curveball for Schiit and @Jason Stoddard: the White House just invoked the Defense Production Act for circuit boards, so stuff that isn't critical to national security may be moved to the back of the line.

No worries, Schiit is an integral part of the US's critical infrastructure. Schiit products keep morale high, which is an important pillar of our defense strategy.

I have it from a reliable source that Syn is a music generator.

No need to buy music anymore! Just tell Syn what you like and its AI core automatically and endlessly generates unique, original content for you.

On an unrelated note, I hear Jason has gone into hiding because the recording industry has sent out a hit squad to his house.

If I am not remember it wrong, Mike did serve the military before, Schiit will be safe Whenever Schiit happened, no one will/can stop it.

Jason can neutralize the hit squard with SYN music .......
