postjack Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 New nib for my Vanishing Point after the original nib was damaged when it accidental slid off my desk. done that! if you want to try something fancy for your VP, consider a custom nib unit from Richard Binder. his VP stubs are awesome.
Duggeh Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 just got a smoking deal on a Quad 99/909 combo from a semi-local audiogon seller. I am officially "all Quad". 840A up for sale soon if anyone wants a good integrated at a great price. Niiiiiiiiiice.

Salt Peanuts Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 done that! if you want to try something fancy for your VP, consider a custom nib unit from Richard Binder. his VP stubs are awesome. Cool. Thanks for the info - I'll keep that in mind if/when I want to upgrade the nib. I do wish the stock fine nib was finer, but I'm nitpicking.
Chekhonte Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 I bought a used Sansa Clip over at that other place for cheap to see how it sounds compaired to my ipod.
cetoole Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 ~60 year old safety razor, pretty sure it is a '48-'50 Gillette Super Speed, by visual identification.
postjack Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 Cool. Thanks for the info - I'll keep that in mind if/when I want to upgrade the nib. I do wish the stock fine nib was finer, but I'm nitpicking. Binder is the king of very fine nibs. I believe he does up to XXXXF. man, I'm going to end up buying a VP again. I've bought and sold that pen so many times. 909/99 shipped today, will let everyone know next week how they work out.
The Monkey Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 ~60 year old safety razor, pretty sure it is a '48-'50 Gillette Super Speed, by visual identification. Cool. I've been using a new Merkur Progress for about a month now. So much easier on my face than the Gillette SupremoExtraX with 10 blades.
Fitz Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 AKG Hearo 999 Audiosphere Signal Processor / Headamp for $50 Not expecting much out of it as an amp, but if the processing is even half-decent I can split the DAC output and put the processor in line with the 2nd input on the Total Eclipse.
Guest sachu Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 shipping to Canada..fricking expensive!!!..has made me rethink selling stuff worldwide now..
MoonShine Posted March 29, 2009 Report Posted March 29, 2009 Platinum solitaire setting for the little lady. Anniversary present: she has somehow managed to put up with me for 16 years. We liked the simple but elegant design. Now we just need to find a nice diamond around 1 carat nicely cut @ 6.5mm. (I didn't take the pic).
Hopstretch Posted March 29, 2009 Report Posted March 29, 2009 Big, big box of Lego. 10-day forecast calls for eight days of rain.
