I have a friend in Saudi Arabia that thinks very highly of me, sent me these for my birthday via DHL Express no less!
Each are approx 29mm x 40mm, one is Mokume Gane (Cu/Br/NiSilver?) and the other is Titanium damascus (Gr 2/ Gr 4) The copper/brass one weighs 228 grams, the Ti one is a mere 115 grams!
Now what, pray tell, shall I do with these beauties?
The Honda EU2200 came today. I put oil in it. Haven’t tested it yet because I have to get fresh gas. I’ve got 1 year old fuel around. I don’t want to mess with that in a brand new generator. I’m sure it’s going to be a winner.
Running it for 60 minutes with a 200 watt load attached. It’s weird that the manual says nothing about break-in. They should have said it’s not needed. Anyway, it’s smooth running and very quiet.
I’ve been looking at Generac whole house generators, but they cost around 6 or 7 thousand dollars installed. I have natural gas, so that would be the ultimate setup for me. Maybe in the next year or so. In the meantime, this will power my fridge, gas heat, and a few LED light bulbs in case of a long-term power outage.
I bought the spinner to play with for 5 minutes, then I will pass it off to my neighbor’s 5 year old son. I’m sure he’ll get a kick out of it. If I really like it, then I’ll buy the better model for myself.
I’ve gotten to really like Senns. They do have the “veil”, which at first I thought I couldn’t get used to, but for long-term listening, it’s quite effective.
“Bright” earmuffs sound great at first, crisp’n’clear, but can grate after a while. Slightly subdued treble like Senns are (in)famous for, I can listen to all day.
Well, on the fidget spinner front, my friend bought this Atesson for me so it was free to me, then I spent $27 on Tungsten weights and bought a top of the line premium grade ceramic hybrid bearing for a ludicrous $43! The tungsten weights are supposed to net 3x longer run times, the bearing, well, don’t know. Better be good for the price, right?
I was just gonna tell my buddy about these fantastic run times I’m getting and not say anything about the expense I’ve gone to in order to get there, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I told him about the upgrade parts that should start arriving tomorrow. lol
Those look really nice. I may order them. I already have several mid range headphones and a couple of headphones amps connected to different sources. I’ve been into audio since the 1960’s. This is what I have at the present time:
Headphones
Denon D2000
Beyer Dynamics DT770 Pro 250 ohm
Tascam TH-02
Sony MDR-V6
Sennheiser PX100
