    Huh. Yeah, ok that makes sense. Intuitively you just assume poor efficiency from all the energy conversion steps. But generators and motors really are bloody efficient!

    Dont worry, that soiled feeling will wash off eventually. If lots of soap doesn't work, try lots of alcohol.

    Tesla I dont think are responding to other EV makers, they can still sell every car they make. From what I've read at least its more about managing demand on the factories.

    The HiFi thread

    Ordered a pair of these. I've had a few Fiio products and all have impressed with their sound quality. The noise cancelling on these is not amazing according to reviews, but good for occasional flights - sound quality is the priority for office life...
