This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio!

Sounds like a Schiit Sol production table might be at Axpona. This from Jason’s chronicles: “Well, you’re going to see the first true first article assembled from production parts at the Schiitrshow on February 8...”

It’s going to be a great year for Schiit.  Uh, you know what I mean!  The Aegir, the Sol and then the upgraded integrated amp. -  Ragnarok.

its no wonder that a “fake news” forum was started just to attack them and their excellent products.  And this same ste seems to love one particular competitor.  It doesn’t matter though, as soon as anyone tries a Schiit dac or headphone amp, the truth gets out, one customer at  a time.

So I attended AXPONA 2019 Friday morning. Some thoughts about some Schiit.

SCHIIT AUDIO (Room 384): This was a highlight for my trip out to Axpona 2019, and Jason and his crew did not disappoint. They had their SCHIIT together.

SOL in production: the long-awaited table was playing at the show. Y-shaped aluminum cast plinth—if one can call it that shape, with a separate (as in isolated) belt-drive motor, the carbon fiber tonearm is said to be a floating unipivot with RT-adjustable VTA and cueing mechanism. I did not get a chance to study in detail the tonearm cabling connections, other than to notice connections on both the turntable plinth near where the tonearm is fitted and a second independent silver box for additional cabling connections to the consumer-supplied phono stage. Jason said (twice—as, in disbelief, I asked him to repeat it to me) the SOL had $699 projected price with launch (maybe) in May, 2019.

The Yggy DAC was engaged in the system, along with other SCHIIT gear (Freya preamp and their new Aegir amp, among others). And contrary to reports on the A’gon Forum threads of having a hot plate-like, heated top surface, the top surface of the Yggy was cool to touch.

Well, the principals are pretty serious about their products and marketing strategy (making products in the USA while offering them at insane low pricing rivaling only what a Chinese company can offer).

Be offended.

You don’t have to buy their products because of their name.

Be happy with your “stuff.”
