Schit Audio Marketing Department: Can We Give them a Hand?
The people at Schit Audio make high-value, good-sounding audio gear. They also have a name that is …. a bit “usual”. In visiting their website, Schit seems be open to “creative ideas” that leverage the power of their unusual name. And they’ve also demonstrated the capacity to chuckle along with us at times. All good indicators there is somebody home.
So, what if some of the brightest (okay, weirdest) minds around come up with ideas to solidify their brand? Maybe they would give our group some free stuff, and we could have a lotto or raffle for a good cause? Or just give us contributors a good deal on a nice piece to shoehorn into a rack between some of our existing gear?
At any rate, here’s a few ideas for products and services to get the ball rolling:
GIVE-A-Schit: Gift card. The purchaser could print out a hard copy of the receipt and prove to others that they actually do give-a-schit.
Schit TOGETHER: Interconnects.
Schit SHINOLA: Detox and terminal cleaner. Might be some trademark issues here, so got to be careful on this one.
HOLY Schit: While this certainly sets a high standard for performance, some may view this as blasphemous. So, might be best to stay away from this one?
Schit HAPPENS: Service/Tech support
Schit STORM: A new product (undefined category) that takes the market by storm.
DEEP Schit: Bass enhancement product or future subwoofer amp or speaker.
Schit HAPPEN(ING)S: Newletter and/or events calendar
Schit HITS THE FAN: Active cooling products
.. and, finally,
Schit ER: Yes, just “ER” (pronounced “eerrr” as in “her”). Perhaps a refillable disc or stylus cleaning solution in 1 oz bottle, with an accompanying 16oz master bottle. With the refill is complete, you can proclaim: “Schit ER’s full!”
Your turn.

@4krowme So, you're saying the turntable doesn't sound Schiity? @garebear Good one. Why didn't I think of that? And, BTW, you're the first totally positive responder to this post. 😀 Thanks to both of you for posting. Just wish I could go back and correct my spelling error. I thought Schiit had 2 "i's" in it, checked the website to be sure of the spelling, and my reading glasses failed me. |
Ok, so here's the deal. There were 3 things that bothered me about the SOL design. First the on/off switch is on the back of the TT, where it is not easy to access. The simple fix was to run power to a switch that was handy. Not a big deal. Second was the VTA on the fly adjustment which was stripped when I bought the TT (second hand). The little gear used to raise and lower the arm is made of plastic. No good reason for it really. Third, and probably most important is that the cuing is sticky and that it can't be trusted without a great deal of attention as you lower the stylus to the record. Again, the sign could have been better for such an important task, especially with a uni-pivot arm! Cuing is undamped as well, but that doesn't bother me as I am careful with it. Otherwise, I really do like this TT. As far as sound, I think that my VPI Scout was a bit better, but only a bit. |
@4krowme I don't get the power switch on the back, either. Just wondering if the cueing can be "fixed" with some experimentation with dampening fluid viscosity? Cool speaker project. Looks like you're created a point source when the speakers are at the correct height. I'm a bit of a speaker nurd myself. I received a patent for The Open Line Source speaker about 30 years ago. All 6'-4" of them are still in my listening room. They've got a few "warts" but do get some things right. |
