Staying on topic

You would need to get some custom built gear though.

This would also ensure that in a mains outage that you would still have DC power for at least lighting and a few other areas instead of not being able to use solar power during the length of the outage.

 

Alex, what could be hot these days (at least it would be my very subject) is that the battery will supply you 240V (48V actually) for 2days, and that when it is cloudy on top of it.

This is not so much about "custom built gear", although I am considering that. These systems just exist but are not common in general circles (in solar power circles there are more common by now).

 

Of course I don't use a roof for a couple of solar panels. It requires "terrain".

a Motor Generator running off the 52V

 

Funny. That's something else for a change.

LOL... Nice to see an open minded view of a public forum. The problem is science is only accepted when it supports the belief, otherwise it is denounced...

You do need to read the threads with a more open mind to see where from the vitriol flows.😀

Its only audio, a hobby enjoy it, I do.

 

 

If that poser only could see the contradictions in about each word against the other ... (but take the 4 sentences against each other for starters).

But with the notice who posts it and what he posts (everywhere).

I explicitly do not want to make it personal - it is only explanatory for what happens day-in day-out, these days. I probably suffer myself from it just the same.

 

With such "responding" behavior each random "audio" subject/thread goes off the rails right away.

 

It could be interesting to look into a few threads and see why they go off topic. I mean, what the first post/cause is.

 

 

PS: I must apologize, @thotdoc for posting off-topic in this very thread - about the 240V battery thing. I just posted in the wrong thread (you being the originator of the Battery subject). Guilty !

What would you do to help change the norm?

 

Nice that you ask. But there is nothing much to do if not first some heavy moderation turns around what ever back was OK.

And moderation is unwanted in this group. I suppose you know because you too are around for some longer.

 

What would help IMHO, is to moderate those who are in my view no audiophiles at all, but are in it for some technical merit (this is half-OK) and ranting (not OK) plus bashing upon those of whom they know will have less knowledge.

Let's remember that this is about going off topic only - not really about a group who explicitly molest the hobby of others (with the notice that I myself am fine as it is). So the sequence I was implying goes like this:

 

OP: I like to know what the best sounding streamer is out there.

Respondent#1: All Streamers sound the same.

Respondent#2: Of course they don't.

Respondent#1: Go back to school then. ABC is wildly known and has been deeply investigated (in 1961 whatever).

OP: I just like to know from people what their opinion is.

Respondent#1: Don't listen to #2 because he clearly knows nothing.

Respondent#2: In 1961 ??

Respondent#3: Yeah, right before the Cray was created.

Respondent#4: That was 2 decades later.

Respondent#5: No, that was the starting of the PC era.

OP: But ...

 

So see, this goes off topic at post #2. Point is: it goes like this by standard now, and the whole lot does not make any sense any more. Maybe the owner is blind - maybe he just likes it. But anyway nothing is done about it.

Back to square one would be: "and we don't want moderation".

Moods have changed into right away jumping on anything that seems funny or feels good to say. I did that in your topic about the dermatologist (keeping away the digitally informed). It is the only thing to do here, lately ... (lately = maybe 5+ years already).

 

Thus my response: there is nothing much to do if ...

 

PS: I own a smaller audio forum myself. Zero off-topic in there. This was literally "created" so. And not difficult to maintain at all. It's sensed. Corrections per year ? maybe 1. And only serious audio addicts. I suppose that matters. No shouting anywhere. Most certainly not someone who feels he is the best. I would scoff people if I'd suggest that maybe the general level is lower, which could be so. But the audio level most certainly is higher.  How come ... Well we like to learn from each other instead of teaching each other. So maybe the teaching is a great ingredient for going off topic ?

Please mind the not-so-legit generalization I seem to apply. But a few out of line are able to molest for 99% of the remainder. It just works like that. And they know it (ouch).
