Any old fart head-fi'ers still around?
Created my account in high school and purchased my first good pair of headphones from the recommendations here: Grado SR 80. Now I am an old fart who spends most of his listening time using earbuds that came with his phone. What have I become!?- MadDog5145

Can anyone point out a place where I can get the Lamy Safari EF nib, Converter, and Aurora Black ink in one place? Would like to dabble in the fountain pen world, and that seems to me like the best starter kit, but can't find anyplace that will sell all 3.- MadDog5145

Rolex is used. I have yet to buy a new watch over $1000. The depreciation on a new timepiece is just too killer. And the value on used timpieces right now are too good to pass up.- MadDog5145

Was looking at a bunch of winders varying from some cheapos from ebay to some of the more expensive offerings from Orbita.
