Title: Schiit turntable
Post by: Guy 13 on September 06, 2019, 04:14:25 AM
Hi all.
Schiit just introduce a turntable.
I'm the first one to be surprised.
Schiit is in the electronic components business, not analog turntable ?
Well, look like it's not an entry level TT.
Look nice, well, not what I call according to my standars : Nice looking,
but still, nice.
Will they sell a lot ?
Maybe not, but they will sell some,
hope for them they can get a return on their investment.

  That's a lot of Schiit. For someone who wants a complete Schiit system it makes sense. So consider Schiit before you buy your shit.  :thumb:

I see a couple things that are problems IMO, but in general it looks great. The real question is how it sounds.

Agreed ;-)

The most simple mod is to ground the motor's enclosure to safety (earth) ground. But it'd be way the hell better to have a grounded shield on the power cable up to the TT, that then connects to the next cables (to the motor) grounded shied that then connects to the motor outside. I wouldn't connect this ground to the TT itself.

It appears that it needs some work yet.  (https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/schiit-sol-turntable-review-episodic.8291/)  :rofl:

Here's an interesting alternative to the Schiit in the same price range (https://www.triartaudio.com/?page_id=3827). I'd probably take it over the Schiit.

$699 is a tough space to play in. There are already several nice tables out there in that price range that are made by companies with a long history and good reputation in the turntable market.

It is also a weird kind of price point in that it is a good bit higher than most mass fi people would be willing to spend for a table (especially since that price does not include a cartridge) and most audiophiles would be looking for and willing to spend more for a better table.

IMO there's NOTHING that low worth bothering with that isn't vintage.

  That is one COOL TT. I would buy it just for looks alone. My only concern would be warping. Thanks Folsom.

I doubt you can get someone from Schiit to fly to your house for $700.

The Tri-art isn't glued internally in such a way that it should ever be able to warp.

  Realized they sell direct, my bad. But that would be some good Schiit.
