    The cartoon versions seem better written and (voice) acted.

    I love the JL cartoons. The three part series about John Stewart and Hawkgirl was one of my favorites. Or the series finale when Superman lets loose on Darkseid.

    For Tv use between Sony PHA-3AC vs Modi Multibit;which one should i go .Earlier i used Mojo;but its too quiet for my taste.
    
    Apr 11, 2017

    I'd get go for whatever is cheaper for TV use. Modi Multibit output is pretty strong at 2Vrms

    And people wonder why we're not so hot on products that use lithium batteries. And why we're not so hot on the idea of having to have your headphones powered, rather than simply using a 1/8" jack. Of course, we are old, stubborn, boring...and obsolete.

    Probably because the US doesn't know how to do public transportation in an efficient and convenient manner. In most places at least, which is unfortunate.

  4. spwath
    Sure, US public transit is very bad, but when I went to Germany, seems like they were much too trusting. You buy a ticket, go to a machine to get it stamped before getting on subway/bus/tram, but no one checks it, and there is no turnstile. Seems like you could easily never pay.
    
    Mar 15, 2017

    Public transit is not that bad in El Lay considering how bad the traffic is. I use it myself 30-40% of the time when I need to go get around to client locations.

    The appeal is the price itself along with low production volume = worse quality control. For DACs? Discrete resistor problems.
