guzziguy Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 yes. i'd be less likely to buy an audio product called Fuck Nut Shit Mother Cunt Smack than i would a product called Stanza. I agree, though I'd be much more likely to buy the first two than a product called Costanza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphsci Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 All audio companies should be named after the designer and name all their products after military hardware. I want to buy a Trebuchet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driftwood Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 i want to buy "The Big Femur That Was Used To Bash Another Ape's Skull, All Under The Auspices Of A Black Monolith." i'm seeing it as a power amp. Indeed. I'm sold. When do you start taking pre-orders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 That would still beat any Singlepower deliveries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immtbiker Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 The Asgard and the Valhalla are both decent amps, especially for their price. I'm not saying that they are going to make you lose sleep every night, having the well known disease of "needing to listen to one more song-itis". But, for the price, you are getting an amp (tubed or not) that sounds slightly better than it costs, made in America with good customer service. I wonder if the name actually has any meaning to it? Did Grandpa Schitt innovate part of the circuitry? That would make some sense, especially since the three amps have a naming convention surrounding a common theme. Also, I would like to re-iterate that Jason is good people who believes in giving the customer value for their dollar. A trait that seems to be getting lost in the sauce these days.

Fitz Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 That side panel reminds me of my 1g Xbox 360. THANK YOU!! It's been bugging me so much trying to pinpoint what these amps reminded me of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesea Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 What with the two tubes and the shape of the metal around them, they have the option to change the co. name to Appendage, and rename the amp The Member. The Asgard would still be appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NwAvGuy Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I think many companies choose such names as publicity stunts hoping for free marketing. For a small company, sometimes any publicity is good publicity. Would engadget even have written it up if it had a boring name? And if they have the balls to name their company Schiit, some will believe they must be really confident in their product. There's an old Saturday Night Live skit around a Smucker's Jam ad slogan "With a name like Smucker’s, it has to be good!" SNL, just like this thread, came up with all sorts of variations including "With a name like Painful Rectal Itch..." My first reaction to the product is a low volume chassis like that probably costs a lot more than all of the electronics combined. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's indicative of the intended customer's priorities. And Schiit wisely chose not to put the company name on the front or top panels of the product.
