Check it out guys, it took me months of scrounging around the stores but I finally found a nice looking watch I like. Say hi to my new Bulova.

Nice watch, AnalogFreak.

Sweet!! That is very nice!!

Uh oh, that's a whole new hobby you're getting into there!

I'm in for a meet later on this summer, but that weekend I'll probably be out at the cottage. I look I'm definitely interested in getting a chance to hear your newly revamped system bear!

I'm actually quite smitten with the Xetum Tyndall watch. I especially like it with a white face and a steel wristband but the price tag is pretty nuts so I'm quite happy to have settled on my far cheaper Bulova

Anyone catch Fleetwood Mac last night or am I dating myself?
Great show btw

I like Bulova watches, got this one http://www.bulova.com/en_ca/watch/bulova/sport--2/98B104, but don't wear it too often due to my allergies to metals that have nickel.
 
So, now I wear this one instead, titanium, eco-drive and very light weight. http://www.citizen.com.hk/?content=895&category_id=121&product_id=1024

Very nice watches. By the way, today I did a little more shopping and got a nice stainless steel wristband to replace the leather wristband. I think the new metal band makes my watch look even spiffier.

IC: Winnipeg watch meet, haha!

I dare not look into collecting watches to closely. I already spend enough on IEMs

People still wear watches these days? I figure the ubiquitous cell phone has nearly replaced that by now.

I keep seeing this thing pop up on kijiji... http://winnipeg.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-electronics-LEPAI-LP-2020A-with-Power-Supply-Amplifier-W0QQAdIdZ465961469
For $30 I'm intrigued, but I dunno.

It's not very often that you find someone selling a headphone amp in Winnipeg, so I bet that is someone who is making it himself, although it seems strange that if you're making something as specialised as a headphone amp you'd have somehow have found your way over to this community at some point!

Congratulations, we all look forward to hearing your thoughts on them in the next little while!

It's not a DIY; they're a (presumably) Chinese brand that someone's selling here. You can actually find it for marginally cheaper online. Still, $25-30 for a power amp is pretty cheap. I don't think that thing has a headphone output though, unless you wire up some resistors or something appropriately. 
 
We did have a local guy making dacs and amps though, he goes by hotaudio. I have one of his usb-dacs in fact (very nice sounding for the price). I've invited him out to meets and stuff before, but he's never attended. Kinda odd, considering we'd be his best target audience.
