NEW BRZHifi PAD-30 : Dual TPA3255 +PFFB @ $99

[mhardy6647]

I've owned several Brzhifi amplifiers and DACs and I've never had any problems... just like with my Hypex, Topping, and Wiim amplifiers.

Cool.

This one?
It is cheap -- apparently.
Cheapness usually comes at a cost.

Well, it was on a rebate and it seems they don't have any more to sell..
Perhaps they clear the stock in order to bring in something new

Apparently a product that was a victim of its own success lol

Is it a plastic or metal chassis? I guess it must have at least a metal bottom with heat spreader?

btw, I saw it on AliExpress another listing for a lower price: https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005010426428100.html

Expensive begets value, which begets cheap, ...which -I presume- has already begot ... rock-bottom!
Soon, they'll be offering us money to own them.

Exactly.
To abstract from an old joke about one of those "buyout" kinds of businesses who (ostensibly) sell their wares at a loss..

"How ya gonna make money doin' that, Jack?"
"Easy! We'll make it up on volume!"

Or by establishing laws) In France it is forbidden to sell at a loss....

Interesting!

Interesting!

Selling at a loss has been illegal in France since the law of July 2, 1963. In other words, distributors must display a selling price at least equal to the price at which they actually acquired the goods in question (including transport and taxes).

So, how do the philanthropists give away their hard-earned bazillions to/for the needy.
Lemme guess: It's in the fine-print of the said French established law.
Mon Dieu!

Kinda weird!
Musta been before China was allowed to enter [<< using that word lightly] the WTO, where a loss becomes a win for China and a win for inexpensive [<< using that word loosely] goods, for all stripes of consumers aboard.
Q.E.D.: BrzHiFi PAD-30, for under a C-note.

We're a little off topic here but... and y'all can take this as a rhetorical question and get back the the bargain component that's gone up in price already ...

So, if a product cannot be sold at a loss... if a vendor buys 10,000 shirts for price x each and only manages to sell 8,000 of them; what do they do with the other 2,000? Just recycle them and take the (total) loss (i.e., 2,000x)?
That sounds... well... silly.
I'm probably missing something -- or maybe I am just too steeped in Amurrican-style capitalism.
you know, this kind of thing. https://biglots.com/

Hey now, I was not, by adding my Q.E.D.

The probability of those shirts being sourced (*at those quantities) from wink-wink is probably very high!
If he was a good entrepreneur, he should have at least broken even by the sale of #7,999.
Thus, he should be able to give them away, since he can show ROI (even if a penny more than he had paid for 10k)!
A law that should not even be in the books, in the 21st Century!

Good point! I am sheepish.

Still, real capitalism is akin selling pork products (work with me here); you know, when one butchers a pig, one makes use of everything but the squeal.

Yeah, buy 10k, price 'em to break even at 5k, then sell 8k of them -- and sell whatever's left over to "Big Lots" for pennies on the dollar. They'll sell them to some poor schlubs. EDIT: and some of them will sell 'em on eBAY to even more pathetic schlemiels to recoup some of their loss.

Consider, e.g., the viability of Dunkin Donuts' "Donut Hole" product, the Munchkin.

PS, and as all Gary Larson fans know, the pig comment above also applies to the buffalo.
