    erin allegedly has a set coming up for review so obviously will be of high interest and yeh i get that since this speaker has such a high part count, even if the parts are not hooked up in circuit you still need to buy the part, route the holes

    O-Noorus D1 - TPA3255 PFFB Stereo Amplifier - Front Display, Tone Control (with bypass) and Remote

    you can rest a there's people behind the scenes planning what's coming up next and what you describe isnt far off i find it kind of curious how things have panned out so far the A70 has had teething problems and price is kind creeping up to ~$200... to me is there $200 worth of 'innovation'...

    After the hype of Chinese HiFi brands, what is the jury?

    i get that people want RMEs and that sort but I am reminded of the times I've worked for rich people... hell the times I bought expensive cars and its like... what I am doing in a $100k Mercedes that is substantially better than a $30k Toyota Camry? some people will just not appreciate what...

    tesla is a great example of this at one point tesla's market cap was many multiples more than every other car company... combined and we know tesla have vast resources but how come they produce such a flawed product and attract some controversial reviews and yet... they still exist??? there's...

    Paid reviewers

    reviewers of a certain level of objectivity expend a fair bit of resources preparing a 'review' however saying that, the above sounds like the way certain governments will commission a report from say... McKinsey, or the big four... and they either... get the outcome they paid for, or get an...

    quick sort of impressions of this after a week or so i just dropped this into my usual setup where i can change speakers and dacs at will and the best thing i can say about the D3 is that is offers a pretty seamless experience over my other devices... it just works to a higher level of...

    O-Noorus D1 - TPA3255 PFFB Stereo Amplifier - Front Display, Tone Control (with bypass) and Remote

    its more to my point that adding these things always incurrs a cost i notice the competition sometimes does not offer these things.. if you want a more traditional 'power amp' then you can go down the route where you dont even need a vol. ctrl. i give a lot of credit to companies who add the...

    O-Noorus D1 - TPA3255 PFFB Stereo Amplifier - Front Display, Tone Control (with bypass) and Remote

    also you will find the competiton products are creeping up in price... AND/OR troubled by teething issues i would personally be ok with a more spartan product... like lose the bass treble, but i beleive that is a 'free' njw1194 feature??? the display is kind an extra frill for what is...

    Fallout on Amazon

    people are saying the main characters are idiotics and gormless... which is how the game is if you're that main female vault dweller and that black brotherhood of steel imposter then what sort of decisions are you likely to make due to your sheltered upbringing you are thrust into a hostile...

    Fallout on Amazon

    i'm ok with that assessment i've played fallout 1 and 2 back in the day pre 9/11 pre Y2k and and it truly was 'gory bloody and weird' - that's a part of the strength of the series it pulled no punches... you got into extended gunfights in the middle of the city there and there as collateral...
