Lots of Hats, Lots of Heart | Robert Harley tours Shunyata Research

Tip: a wonderful video,...bits of the story of Shunyata from before the founding, the patents, all the way to the present and some great looks at their SOTA manufacturing and testing facilities together with many of the people behind all the great products from sales, operations, design, assembly and shipping! Also some great discussion and facts about their ground-breaking innovations.

Well worth the time to see the entire video...

Love the fact the dogs also made it into the video [emoji2]

Thanks for the video. Shunyata is not only a quality manufacturer, but also a company that values R&D at its heart. It’s not surprising that they are as successful as they are.

Now, only if I can get my ground cables soon enough. [emoji51]
 
Shunyata is hitting on all 8 cylinders!

Or, if they were a V-10 F1 car....all ten. :P :D

Loudest and coolest sound I've ever heard in my life was the noise the F1 cars made at the Monaco Grand Prix. All the sound bounced off the buildings surrounding the course amplifying it.

Never been to Monaco, but went to the British GP at Brands Hatch twice at the peak of the turbo era. Those cars had 1100 bhp on tap during qualifying. Here's a pic I took of Nigel Mansell in the Wiliams-Honda ripping through Dingle Dell at Brands. Taken with slide film with my Oly OM-1, slide film and manual focus lenses. No motor drive, no AI-based AF high-speed tracking, just...skill. :P

Very cool. My dream would able to shoot Spa with creds some day. I actually know the FIA credentials manager for the FIA Endurance races, and he said while I'd have to go through the ACO to get creds for Le Mans, he could get me creds for the endurance race at Spa. Oh, and I should add that I was one of the official track photographers for Laguna and Sonoma Raceways for many years. Shot everything from drag racing, NASCAR to MotoGP and "World Supers"....

Fun days, hard work...

That's awesome.
 
Great video. Amazing company and people.

Longtime customer.

Wow what a sharp contrast between this and the Synergistic Research factory tour.

I didn't see patents hanging on their wall :-)

Looking forward to the Omega interconnects and speaker cables.
 
Seem they are Akita. Thought a little big for Shiba, which I have one at home myself.

We have a Shiba too. As you well know, Shiba's were bred to hunt and need to RUN! Ours chases deer and bears in these Waywayanda Highlands. Of late however, he's been limited to short runs while we are outside in the daylight and tethered walks in our backyard state park. He took off for several nights a month or so ago. Also, approaching 11 he's developing some dementia. Anyway, to your observation, those pups do look a good bit over weight.

Notice the "Eiger" just past Caelin's left shoulder when he is seated. Not much of a secret.:inconspicuous:

I thought that was just the prototype for what became the production Everest.

Looks like its a 6 port Everest. To eventually replace the Denali 6000T V2 limited run.

Seems Shunyata is listening, people love the tower form factor but, don't need 8 outlets.
 

Great video introduction to Shunyata.

Caelin reminds me of an aerospace engineer friend of mine. He has a very cool-as-a-cucumber demeanor, and despite his obvious genius-level intelligence, he also has the ability to explain rather complex principles to ordinariy people like me.

After watching this, I want to learn more about the different categories of proper grounding and what might help in my system.

I completely agree. This is the result of someone who really knows their subject domain.

As someone who taught a very complex set of disciplines (DFSS, TRIZ, Statistics and DOEs) to really bright (PhD-level) scientists, it took me years to master the ability to be able to do that. I knew I was starting to "master those domains" (no "pun" reference to Seinfeld intended) when I couse use fewer words and simpler language to convey key principles of those complex topics. But...it took me the better part of a decade to get there.

Ha! That's funny, I didn't even notice that. That looks cool...looks like a smaller Everest, perhaps with 6 outlets?

That's thing about R&D...it never stops.
