So -- no discussion here of Schiit's dipping its metaphorical toes in the vinyl? ;-)

[fiddlefye]

That's fine -- just wondered what they are using on the prototype/beta model?

Nothing I recognize, that is for certain. Looks like something MM perhaps?

 

[airdronian]

Very blocky shape. Maybe Nagaoka ?

 

[Thermionics]

Is it a Fidelity Research MC?

Hard to tell from the picture, but it seems to have a bit of a ...... homemade quality to it.

I wondered about that myself (FWIW).

They could call their own cartridge, e.g., Schiit Dröpping. Or, perhaps, Dingleberry.

And they could call the turntable stand the Stool?

That is good.
Are you in Schiit's employ?

 

[Prime Minister]

Nah. Id I'd be a crappy employee.

 

[mhardy6647]

Nah. Id I'd be a crappy employee.

I think that's a core value there.

(kidding. kidding!)

It's not like successful ventures haven't hinged on scatalogical names before. For eight years as a young man, I worked for a record store/head shop called Dingleberry's. It was a happenin' spot in the late 70's, but had been long coasting even by the time I showed up.

It was a cool place, though. They had their own radio jingle.
