free to a good home
Free: shelves I made for the small Schiit products (Magni, Modi, Mani, Vali, Loki Mini). Holes in the base allow mounting on a wall, underside of a table, ... . Mitered corners reinforced with walnut splines. No need to remove rubber feet--there's enough clearance. I have several on hand...- Tom239

The NIKON Thread (Talk About Nikon Stuff here)
I am impressed with the build quality of manual focus Nikkor lenses from the '60s and '70s. The ones I have are still a pleasure to use. I had occasion to take one apart and came across the bearing shown in this pic which was part of the aperture ring mechanism. I don't know how the bearing...- Tom239

Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)
I agree. I have an old Magni 2 which in addition to a front panel LED has two on the top of the circuit board. I don't know if they're wholly ornamental or whether they serve some other purpose in the circuit--but either way they are a nice touch.- Tom239

Bicycle-Fi!
I had a road bike frame custom made about 15 years ago. I asked for the rear brake bridge to be mounted the other way, just because I prefer the look. Also, there's enough clearance between rear wheel and seat tube to put the pump there. I have a Rohloff 14-speed hub in this frame. The hub...- Tom239

Grado Fan Club!
I bought Grado HP2 headphones in 1994. I've lost count of how many times I've had to resolder connections to the drivers but that's OK. They still serve me well.- Tom239
