Kickstarter...anyone heard of or backed it?

[tvtech]

Hi Guys

On my travels came across this: https://www.kickstarter.com/project...where-your-soul-rediscovers-music?ref=popular

And this: https://www.kickstarter.com/?ref=nav

Seeing it is really quite (as in nothing happening tonight) I decided to post a few links so we can all kick back and relax.

I've heard about Kickstarter, but haven't checked it out yet. It's a brilliant idea!

Oh well, Kickstarter is doing really good stuff for Neil Young and Co...

They needed to raise $800000.

Sitting on $4,926,553 now. With 18 days still to go. Huge success.

And now the Grateful Dead too...

Interesting to see that one of my all time best musicians is battling a bit. Namely Jackson Browne.

Anybody remember "Running on Empty?".

It'll be as dead as SACD or DVD audio in a year.

Hi all

They launched the Pono Clear today. How cool is that ?

You don't have to open it to see what is inside.

Amazing response worldwide for this project. Needed $800 000. Sitting on $5 772 663 as of today and still 5 Days to go.

If this happens, people are even more oblivious to the quality of MP3s than I originally thought.

Heard of it? Sure! I recently finished an electronic project on there. It was a modest project but I was funded something like 140%. Works just like advertized! I also backed some stuff on there and got some ingenuous things from there. But of course....backer beware!

Hi Rich

Oh well, Pono is storming ahead...LOL it's funny to see people changing their minds...

Like Neil Young had everything covered...explained a bit ..and lost a backer...within a few Seconds somebody else out there snapped it up.

Pono is as good as they say it is. This is one Kickstarter that will rewrite Audio history books....

And just for interest sake....latest page update: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1003614822/ponomusic-where-your-soul-rediscovers-music/posts

Stay well Guys,

Since you DID ask, I created a small, affordable control panel PCB with push switches, LEDs and pots. It isn't any ground-breaking new technology, but it is something useful with the millions (literally) of Arduino's, Raspberry Pi and other microcontrollers out there. But there are very few cases, especially cases with machined front panels and a matching PCB for the user control. Now my last name isn't Sony, and I don't live in China, but I was able to keep the price low enough by buying parts and the PCB's in bulk, so you can get one ready-made and tested for a lot less than if you were to create your own, and the resulting control panels are 100% professional-looking. I have several more spin-off ideas.

Hi Rich

That's cool. Funded 140% means you more than made your target
