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.

Using 8-bit tone generators from surplus Casio SK-1 chipsets?

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!

I'm actively considering purchasing a pair. The 300B SET amp I recently built is currently using a pair of 300B tubes made by Psvane, one of which is already going bad, this after no more than a couple hundred of hours. A bit of research has shown that many of the 300B offerings have limited warranties, and tube life seems to be all over the board. WE however warrants theirs for 5 years. Given that minimal expected lifetime, $1500 USD does not seem that bad.....

What is missing in the Schiit product line? Digital side it needs an isolator, a gatekeeper to block the interference from USB ... SYN?

Time to gain some sleep ......

Schiit used to have a product called Wyrd. I guessing since it's not in the lineup it didn't sell very well. FWIW I still have one although I don't use it anymore as Yggy+ has Unison USB.

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.

I think averting an audiophile uprising would also be critical to national security.

Between Syn generating the music and Chat GPT generating the lyrics, there will be no more need for those pesky creative types.

I think it's brilliant. And the styling has a little Pontiac Aztek to it... should have gone more DS...
