El cheapo turntable because the old one gave up the ghost:

There are far nicer ones on the market but the sound is astounding for the price, comes with an Audio Technica stylus and I am only getting it all started again, so not about to spend everything I have.

Hooked into:

Rotel_RA-10_front.jpg


Which IS on the cheap end of Rotel's lineup (even though Rotel generally specialise in this stuff, so they know what they are talking about), but garnered some pretty positive reviews and sounds pretty tops actually - especially for such a casual application.

Playing through:

Bookshelf speakers.

Playing:

:D



Way to keep spinning that vinyl 👍 Some of the best sounding music I've heard was with a turntable as the source. I plugged my turntable in recently and found out either my cartriage or stylus is shot. It got damaged in storage, The darn tone arm clamp wasn't secured :(

That Rotel integrated should keep you happy for quite a while.
 
A bottle of my usual Balvennie DoubleWood plus the wine merchant had a couple of Caribbean Casks looking lonely. Beautiful stuff. :D

Seagate Central 3TB NAS drive, now in the long process of transfering too much data over to it.

Malekko Spring Chicken Ltd edition Reverb pedal, lovely piece of handmade kit, this one's going to take a few weeks to get to me.

I was thinking about buying this ever since I spoke to someone at Spa Francorchamps during F1 who owned the same lense.
Today I decided to go and get it, the Canon EF 100-400mm.

Scarily, I am already thinking of ways to fill the other speaker channel the Rotel provides. Loving it all so far.

Haven't had a chance to spin Bonobo, but weirdly the differing productions of both Arcade Fire and Disclosure vinyls resonate with their musical sound. The Arcade fire vinyl is a tad crooked and wavey, which makes it sound a tad more analogue than the really rather clinical finish on Disclosure's album.
 
Play loud, so I will.

Oh and Killzone Mercenary for the Vita.

Poolhaas, congrats on the new lens. May it shoot even more awesome pics :P

5mm eyepiece. Will give me the maximum magnification on my telescope. 260x. Can't wait for it to arrive!
 
Got some stuff at Autozone across the street while my tint was being redone on the rear window:

I've heard great things about this Nu Finish stuff, so I figured it's worth giving it a shot, since Meguiar's wasn't holding up as much as it claims.

Goo Gone for the tougher stuff, with the Simple Green as a general cleaner. And I've got a small stain in the driver seat, and Meguiar's "Cleaner and Conditioner" is forever alone in the corner because it sucks, and has been replaced by the Lexol cleaner and conditioner bottles.


Must....resist....:drool:
 
@Minty: I use Neatfoot compound(natural and synthetic oils. Regular Neatfoot oil is made from 100% natural oils) for all of my leather items so far. Really good to soften the leather and get rid of many unsightly scratches. It can revive a lot of old leather. Plus it's cheap since you can buy a 32oz container for $13 on Amazon. Though it has a tendency to darken light colored leather.
 
Ended up buying this Scosche FM transmitter since I couldn't stand listening to the radio. And my car doesn't have an aux or tape player. Used to have the Griffin iTrip, but it's $50+... :crazy:

Today while shopping for locks and other essentials for my bike (to be posted right after I get it back home in one piece), I decided to get my girlfriend geared up for when I am comfortable to take her for a ride.

Jacket, beautiful, comes with blinking LEF on the back and pads for back, shoulder and elbow to forearm.

And a beautiful helmet (We have the same size head so I can secretly use this, which is way lighter and better than my old one)

I'll take a look at it, but darkening light leather would be a problem since mine's white.
Not too late to pre-order, so...

Probably gonna do the same once I'm back at my usual computer.
Resistance is futile.

My wallet is still cowering ever since I decided I'm going to buy an Xbox One. So instead I got this:

Did the pledge package for a smartwatch, which is worth $189 plus $20 for 1GB of ram(Instead of 512MB) in the smartwatch. Will be receiving it in November. I'm excited :D

I plan on using it as a smartphone replacement once my contract with Sprint is over. Until then I'll be connecting it to my phone to get constant updates from the emails and such.

And at Walmart I just saw that they have a special edition with a model of the "Enemy Ship." That's how they labeled it. I call it the Super Evil Reliant. Phaser or ship model? My brain!!!!
