I am kind of surprised: no discussion here (yet) of Schiit's dipping its metaphorical toe in vinyl?

I don't think the Sol is going to be that kind of caliber. I'll keep looking.

You know -- I knows a guy what has a CA/Marantz TT-15S1 just sittin' inna box inna corner, he does...
Just sayin'...

2 dollars so I can outbid @mrbiron's 1 dollar bid hehehe....
Uhhhhh......i like my turntables like i like my women. That will just NOT DO!
So broken, missing parts, and covered in dirt
Fortunately, i wrangled one that, i'm fairly certain, has all of her parts and baths daily.
As for her being broken, she's definitely not all there being with me. 2/3 ain't bad
Wait, what? Someone actually reads the drivel I post?! I am shocked, I tell you. Shocked.
I -- ahem -- think that the tt's absolutely fine. It certainly looks nice, too. My (adult) children both thought it was far cooler looking than any of the tts I actually use.
I was less than impressed with the CA "Virtuoso Ebony" cartridge, though... but even that is something I kinda mean to go back to. Maybe the Reduction would work well with it, you know?
Hey, you're the one that wants a Concept, you know?!
In re: the matter of the preamp. Yeah, yeah, yeah -- c'mon up and pick up the preamp; go home with a tt. Sounds like a deal to me!
Heck, it (the TT-15S1) would at least be worth a test drive (probably for both of us).
... besides...
Gary Kaufman actually bolted a hunk of metal on the head of that same flavor of CA arm and uses a DL-103 in it (!) -- on an SL-1200

Sorry, we've drifted slightly off-topic.
We were talkin' Schiit, weren't we?
Let's put something together. Seriously.
I'll PM you tomorrow with possible dates.
There was a sneak preview a day or two ago at the Motherschiit, umm I mean the Schittr.

Now, the main reason I mention this is that a couple of us were swapping predictably juvenile, scatological commentary on this at another hifi forum yesterday.
I asked if anyone could tell what cartridge they were using in the demo, and someone thought it looked like it might be a "DIY" effort.
This caused me to muse the following musing:
There's also been some chatter to the effect that Schiit's working on a purpose-built support for the turntable.
All of which caused the majordomo
I'll bet they will wish they'd have thought of that themselves.

They should have named it the Schiit Storm. The platter for this table is called a “fan”.

More info from Jason about the TT is back a little more in the thread.
