Schiit embarrassed at AXPONA

[semente]

Haven't you even considered that the speakers might have influenced the final result at least as much as the speaker cables? 

 

In my experience it's not easy to judge electronic equipment performance in a show...

Of course no one with high-end audio experience thinks Schiit competes in the high-end (except for DACs which many consider high end). The Internet is full of pro-Schiit shilling, promoting and boosting. You constantly hear the dumb line about how Schiit is "disruptive" to the high end industry; in reality Schiit customers aren’t going to buy high end gear anyway. When the hype and marketing is put to the test it failed in front of a real high end manufacturer.

 

What (hands-on) experience have you had with highend audio equipment?

One of the more amusing sights was a monster power conditioner, with wrist-thick Cracken like tentacles to the various components, but with the power cord narrowed to (maybe) pinky finger thickness at the end where it entered the plug assembly.  

 

And yet...

Listening in show rooms and hotels.

 

Some showroom demos may be ok but most show demos are rubbish.
