Mitkraft Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) I can say this freely in this forum (as opposed to AudioKarma) but there is a segment of audio enthusiast that isn't concerned with logic and facts. If its more expensive and has a good spiel then it must be better. I keep trying to explain how paying hundreds of dollars for a USB cable between the computer and DAC or a thousand dollars for a power cable is a waste but some people aren't hearing it. With USB it's digital data for heavens sake. Cable quality can't colour the sound. I often joked that I was going to make a bunch of money by selling an audiophile hard drive. Looks like sony beat me to it. Edited March 17, 2017 by Mitkraft 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Vorticon Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Already sold... These things are going like hotcakes! I'm still looking for one for my wireless weather station project... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 rats! i'm hoping to get a NanoPEB since the stock PEBs are so friggin expensive. i realllllly want a stock PEB to go with my collection (particularly the RAM and Disk Controller/Drive) but good grief! I'd even happily pay shipping for the big ole metal brick to Missouri, but $300-400 bucks is a little out of my price range atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 I got a chuckle when I saw << THIS BEIGE TI-99/4A >> as a buy it now for $349.99 + shipping. What are the odds that the keyboard will not work properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kl99 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I almost want to buy it to burn it so the world has one less beige computer. It's still a TI inside, but I get your point. On the other side the planned successors were solely in beige, be it the 99/2, 99/5 or 99/8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I would even love it if it´was purple-green checkered 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I would even love it if it´was purple-green checkered But not if pink and glittered. I guess in today's world there would most likely be one edition of that way. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeBo Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I was surprised that this ad ("Buy it Now" no less)for a PEB has lasted this long at such a low price. Heck it even got reduced! At first I thought maybe it was in Europe, which would make shipping a tad expensive for North Americans, but nope, it's in California (and even shipping to Canada would only be $80!!) Anyway, there's only 5 hours left, so I thought I'd mention it, since there are always folks around here looking for a PEB...not much in the way of cards with (not even sure if it has a firehose and card) but it's a good start at a decent price if anyone is looking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eightbit Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I saw it and would have loved to have it...but alas no room! My entire vintage computer collection is set up and connected in a closet (literally). I have learned to make excellent use of small spaces, but that PEB is a beast! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeBo Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I hope someone on here got it. same here...I saw it when it was first listed a couple weeks ago, then when it scrolled off the "newest Listings" page, I just assumed it had sold with minutes. When I saw it on the "ending soonest" this aft, I kicked myself for not mentioning it here sooner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
