General OpenPOWER Discussion / Re: European logistics / delivery, warranty returns, etc
« on: November 09, 2020, 12:42:05 pm »Please see my blog about choosing between the Blackbird and the Talos II Lite. For many people, the Talos II Lite is a much better choice and only a little bit more expensive.

The cost difference is less than €150 + the bigger case.I found noting about sound in your blog post.
