Ok I figured it out. It's a MIDI controller for playing SYNthesized music.

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. :wink:
Tyler's tithe schiit plan.

The big schiit end game is your entire pay cheque is turned into schiit - a new schiit stack for all - where everyone works for schiit. 🤣

What makes you think this isn't already happening?

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.
.
That the next one is the 12AX7 sounds like the only sane move to me. The market for that, thanks to guitar amps, is much much bigger unless I'm quite misinformed.

Then, on the other hand, I think we'd like to see some tubes suitable for hifi preamps and headamps. I do believe Jason mentioned this manufacturer in one of his posts earlier in the tube panic. IIRC it seemed like there was no overlap in future plans as it stood, but the future is notoriously hard to predict.

And ... a question to Jason, my friend wants a Freya N, 230V, black, will it be available?
production on Freya N has been discontinued. if you find one in b-stock, regardless of voltage, grab it quick, as 115V versions can be converted to 230V and vice versa for a nominal fee "voltage change service" by Schiit prior to shipping. if converting voltage, best to indicate so in notes section on the order page, as well as sending a separate email to orders@schiit.com or info@schiit.com.

Is there a reward for guessing correctly?
:beerchug:
Of course: free shipping for the Syn you ordered. Just pay a small, separate handling fee.

Tell me about it. I haven't even touched the bathroom or kitchen. Because I have to down size (for the second time in my life) 60-70% of my stuff will have me paying a couple thousand to the "Haul-my-crap-away" folks. That's actually the good part. I'm gettin' to old for this schiit!

OK, this settles it. I am now a permanent resident of the That's What Kids Are For camp. After I'm gone my kids can come and strip the house.

Yes from a business perspective, it's a guitar amp market, agreed - totally makes sense. There may be some collateral 'home audio' spin-off, but this is a guitar focused lineup. WE300B for audio, 12AX7 guitar, done.
