but if a little guy is willing to bargain with the big guy and in most caes all most all ways gets a deal , and wants  to produce for the lower end that's not good ?. as others have said everyone makes out in this case and some were down the road the little guy might be a investor to the big guy because he saw it.++ other good things.


I know of industry turntables i meant i guess you can go out and buy one still , when i had  Vinyl records, i paid 500 bucks one time for a turn table so i could hear johnny winter or his bro but i had no idea they cost 100 k.i even used to buy a 60 dollar bottle of record protector that worked . i remember the days of adjusting the needle just right so it did not mess up the vinyl those were the good ole days a lot here have never lived.

Real records (Vinyl) is still a big business with many current artists releasing on Vinyl as well as the usual media and a few have done releases on Vinyl only.

Over New Years in New Orleans my GF and I spent $264 at http://www.peachesrecordsandtapes.com/ . There is a lot of new pressings of old albums, from the greats like Led Zeplin, Deep Purple, ect. to just about any genre there is. One record we got was a new pressing of harmonica tunes from the 1920's. A few others records we got is some mighty fine classic Blues My turntable is a Technics manual direct drive I got in the early 70's, a Heathkit preamp feeding 2 Tigersaurus 250w mono-channel amps I built. http://www.tigersthatroar.com/?page_id=59
 System is still in many ways equal to the best you can get even today unless you spend the kind of $$$$ on the stuff posted earlier

I have a nice german dual record player  and quite a few old and new vinyl records.

I have had 50k worth of audio gear pass into and out of my home.

I used to live on audiogon buying fixing old amps.

Ebay and many other audio sites.

I'm not yet 30, and have pretty much been listening to the same 5 CDs on crappy USB speakers since high school.

Then I would suggest you don't change your title to "Audiophile".....

The problem is ... when you were in high school there wasn't any good music!   So I feel for you.

[sidehack]

It hasn't gotten any better since then. Give me some 80's metal.

Also give me Bitfury chips, but you know, in a couple weeks.

Hey! there's some respectable NuMetal from the 90's....

OTOH, picture this: Pods with Bitfury's... ooh my

 3 Doors Down.
 Amanda Marshall.

 Just to name TWO excellent music makers from the early 2000s.

 I do concede that the majority of what I like to listen to is from the 70s, 60s, and 80s though - what most folks would call "Classic Rock" for the most part, with some oddball and off-the-wall groups thrown into the mix (Moxy Fruvous anyone?)....



 
 I wonder if there are more Gridseed 80 blade HS floating around than Antminer S1/S3/S5 ones - though I suspect the answer is probably "no", I also suspect a lot of the S5s and a few of the S3s and S1s are still in use. I also wonder how hard it would be to make a board that fit ALL of those options.

I am curios about what kind of DUAL you've got.
Got it the 33 /45 & 78 Speed as well?
If you ever need spares for it, let me know!

I was just poking at SH.  My preference is also in the classic rock category, however I have a soft spot for some of the alternative / grunge stuff too

I built a case for it

On a side note   - I have made a second contact and it looks like we will have Bitfury chips and sooner than I was anticipating - I will release more details when I get them. YIPPEE

That is an awesome revelation!   Go Go new hobby miner!

[Meech]

You know these open talks with Bitfury sure is refreshing.
I had my mind made up that they never again would engage the community.

I would love to get a few of these for the solar array.

As for bitfury selling chips I think they don't have power as cheap as China builders.

Thus mining may not be the best choice for them so selling chips may be better.

For me and any one that can get decent power prices this is wonderful.

I am looking forward to this.

Good news!
My wish list includes boards that will revitalize my Antminer C1 with Bitfury chips. It is such a lovely contraption - like a lava lamp that mines bitcoin.

[Mitak]

I do not think using Antminer boards as a host for Bitfury16 nm chips will work.
It is a tempting idea , but that is all just an interesting idea.
Be prepared for new board with new design etc...

[sidehack]

I don't think you've been paying attention at all.
