To bad about the name. The mono amps would be great but just don't want that name in my rig. Think it has only been the first time not wanting to buy a product because of the name. All the best and keep building excellent products and great prices – we need more of these options.
The whole thing about women is insane. Stop trying to make a woman like your hobby. The women that do like your hobby, like your hobby. Do you think Schiit or whomever should be advertising in Elle Magazine, the Lifetime channel, and The View to lure in the women? I'm a ham radio operator and all we've talked about for the past 15 years or more was how to get women interested. Well, the ones that do like ham radio, like it. Every effort they've ever afforded fell flat on its face. The percentage of licensed ham radio operators who are female has stayed pretty constant through the years. Guys just like and want women to like their hobbies. The whole ham radio paradigm and HiFi paradigm are very close in perspective. My wife likes to drink wine and listen to music on the couch with me, but she could care less about the music or gear; she's spending time with me. Men and women are wired differently and that is just fine. Occasionally a woman likes HiFi and occasionally a guy likes crotchet!
+1 for Syn. It's a great piece of kit
