Hi guys,   Looking for some information if anyone has it!   I'm looking on local craigslist and I found a Luxman FQ990 for sale. From the pictures, it looks to be in very nice condition and it is being sold for $100.   I looked online but I couldn't find much information on it. Does anyone...

I'm listening to my M50's as we speak (well, type). While I have never heard or seen your other choice, I can say in terms of build quality, the M50 is a tank. There was a video I forget where now, where I guy bent them almost all the way backwards without them breaking. Unfortunately if you're...

As I was lazing through another forum on the internet, just being totally bored out of my mind, I was thoroughly un-entertained by a particular thread that advocated for the least interesting things in the world.   What non-inspiring stories do you have of watching your front lawn grow or...

Quote:   I got my GraphGear a while before the Graph 1000. When I first got it (GraphGear), I thought it was the greatest pencil ever to walk the Earth! I used it to write with, draw, do technical sketches, and everything else in between. Fast forward to more recently when I got my Graph...

Wow, I thought it might be a bunch, but that's seriously a lot guys. Maybe I should have made a few more categories!
