Hmm that's odd. Usually amazon prices are better or at least match street prices. I don't even know where to shop for fountain pens offline though.

Hmm, you might be looking at one with a gold nib or some special body colour/material, that's probably why it's priced higher than my basic one.

Oh. Your basic one is like $50 in the US atleast LOL.

The medium nib one is actually cheaper. Hmm, how big is the difference between fine and medium? If I like the feel and use of fountain pens I may look into getting one of these eventually.

Yeah, we get shafted here in Australia. tongue.gif

 

Medium looks better for writing IMO, but I prefer Fine because of the shorter drying times.

Hmm, I think I'll pick up a cheap (sub $20) fine and try it out for myself before buying the CP1. I'm going to give mediamonkey a try. Its so easy to get the premium versions for these kinds of programs with a youtube key...

They were talking about pens I think.

 

I use Pilot Hi-Tec-C 0.4 point on writing and usual MONO rubbers and Uni Kuru Toga pencils.

Looks like unfinished Resident Evil 1.5 (modders are still working on making it playable) got out lately. There was a leak from the modders and someone tried to sell it, so they released it in the current state but are still working.

Actually don't... that would be kind of psychotic.

The T50RPs don't need much power. There's sort of this myth that orthos require a ton of juice, but that's only a few specific orthos. I don't have much experience with cheap DIY tube builds, mostly DIY solid state (the O2 is a fine choice for them). Not sure if the Bottlehead stuff is considered cheap, but there's that? Some Cavalli and Pete Millett stuff is worth looking into too.
Yeah, I've come to realize that the myth of headphones in general needing a lot more power than what the manufacturer recommends is BS. And these T50RPs are supposed to be about as hard to drive as the LCD2s.
Hmm, if that's the case I'll probably stick with my O2 then. The crack has something like 40 ohms of output impedance, otherwise I'd get that.

Was about to ask him to include the pictures of completed P-H in all of it's complete glory in his post linked in his sig. (3x "in"s ftw)

Also for ****s and giggles, one of us P-H owners in USA should contact Tyll and have it measured and compared to the Obj2. I mean the thing isn't that hard to make in terms of components from what I can read, so anyone can do it if they wanted to.
Wait, what do you want me to do? Include some of Boris' pics in my post about PH where I edited Bowei's post?

Religion isn't really pseudo-science, more of an absence of science...

Anyway, just bought myself an overkill kind of USB drive.
Corsair Survivor Stealth 32GB 3.0 USB Drive. Oh yeah.






This will replace my Lacie Xtreme Key which is actually more extreme than the Survivor (it's heavier, it's actually made from a blend of copper and aluminium, it's sturdier and the shell is a lot thicker). The problem with the Lacie Xtreme key is that it has 2 critical flaws. First of all, like the Corsair, it has a similar design but it's much heavier on the end of the USB drive which when plugged in puts a lot of stress on the USB connector, eventually it will develop a fault which did happen to mine. The second flaw is that if a dent ever shows up where the shell screws on with the flash drive, it's pretty much over because you will never be able to open it again.
The Corsair though is as strong as the Lacie but being lighter and overall... sexier, it's just a win flash drive.
Nice! I've been using that drive since November of 2012. Haven't tried running it over with a car yet, but it's held up well. How fast are transfers on yours?

Gonna catch up on Top Gear, yay.
Yay, I'm not the only one to watch it!!!

Car Rugby should be an international sport! biggrin.gif
I thought all the new episodes were pretty good. Looks like they're going balls to the wall this season with all the awesome trips across the world they're doing!

I don't even have a USB key anymore. Cloud storage ftw. If I need to transfer files between my own PCs I use wireless.

I'm quite lucky, I have a very nice pen store not far from where I live (when not at uni).

I might add that $15 pen to my amazon order... How different is it from a regular pen?
