Why do you do this? I guess we clarified this, so here's the résumé. We do not need to know everything, but still could be careful. If we can not or do not want to spend much money for gear, but expect high sound quality, we should consider that it is possible that - there could be reliability/durability issues - there could be maintenance issues How long does it e.g. take to open and close the case, just to replace a capacitor? - the user interface could be that bad, that using the device by a reasonable work-flow is more or less impossible (- worker conditions) [1] [1] I put it in parentheses, since worker conditions of those making expensive gear are not necessarily good, worker conditions of those making inexpensive gear are not necessarily bad. A Mexican or Korean guitar for less money could be from way better quality, than a guitar from a named brand produced in the USA, so if we pay much more money, we still could get a less good instrument. To get information regarding worker conditions, we often need a crystal ball. Unfortunately bad worker conditions sometimes are better than being jobless.

So we could stop it? _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
