Schitt turntable anyone?

Schiit is over-rated. Just another underdog that’s favoured by people who follow underdogs because they can’t bring themselves to buy things that are proven. 

Sleepy, maybe you can offer at least one anecdotal story to back up your point rather than a grossly exaggerated generalization. 

Hey Cel, what cart were they using? Also, I assume the Mani Freya aegir monoblock combo?

I've had the $129 Mani. Great for the price.

If it was packaged with that table AND a cart for...$500, that would be something worth looking at.

Not gonna happen, so it just another piece of Schiit.

OP: Yes, as to the setup. I don’t recall the speakers, tho. Definitely not Schiit speakers. As for cartridge, I honestly did not focus on it as much as the turntable. I asked Jason about the carbon fiber tonearm. It was a pretty substantial arm, in terms of overall diameter (~0.35 to 0.4 inches?) and length (~11 inches?), for being part of an unipivot design. I mentioned that I had a couple Infinity Black Widow carbon fiber tonearms that were deemed really only suitable with high compliance cartridges. (The Infinity BW tonearm has a substantially thinner diameter than the Schiit Sol tonearm.) I asked Jason about cartridge compatibility of the SOL tonearm. He was a bit cagey in his response, saying he wasn’t really the analog guy of the company (that bring Mike Moffat). 

Here’s a link to the development of the Sol:
