OK, you play with your fancy fidget spinners and spin for 10 minutes, pfff, I’ll beat you with my 3 euros one right now!

Spinning… spinning… stopped. OK, 46 seconds, you feel my breath on your neck? Ha? :person_facepalming:

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.

Ha! I also ordered a cheaper/smaller one for my 3 year old because I know the moment he sees mine he is going to want one. :slight_smile:

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.

Yah, we know how that’ll go…

He’ll get the big one, and you’ll get stuck with the smaller cheaper one. :smiley:

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? :stuck_out_tongue:

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

Dale, you’re such a kid. Nothing wrong with that. Same here. At 66, I still laugh when someone farts.

Heh… I saw those tungsten weights, but I thought that was a bit much. Keep us posted though - I can always change my mind. :slight_smile:

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

Headphone Amps
Woo Audio WA6
Schiit Asgard (version 1 with mute relay)

DAC’s
2 Schiit version 1 Modi’s

The best pics can be found on BossHiFi's Amazon listing:

I'm not sure if they will look that amazing in person.

You have quite the collection.

I only have two JVC HA-S680's, which are nice for the price.

I read that BossHiFi B8's are even nicer.

Nice mat !! We still live there and go to Pensacola several times a yr for what you have on that mat…. :+1:

:beer:

DB Custom, Glenn, how are your spinners?

My Atesson spinner in stock form was getting up towards an 8 minute spin on a flat surface. I bought a very high end custom ordered Hybrid Ceramic bearing and Tungsten weights for it and have achieved a vertical spin of 15:10.44. :smiley: Yes, that’s 15 minutes, 10.44 seconds!

Edit: I would be remiss to leave out some specifics, my friend sent me the Atesson spinner that he bought on Amazon for some $15. I then spent $43 for the new bearing and $26 for the weights, in an effort to best his 10 minute spin time. So yeah, while I did best him by a significant margin…it cost me! (SWMBO does not know of this additional incurred cost…. shhhhhh! )

Nice. Mine doesn’t even reach 7 minutes. Maybe I need to clean/lube the bearing?
EDIT: Just rechecked - got close to 8 minutes this time.

Break-in time influences run time. :wink:

NO lube! Oil on the balls inside the bearing will create drag and slow it down. The Atesson uses SS balls in a chromium steel race (51200 I presume) and also has a steel cage that is double sided. It is possible to just wash it out with detergent and hot water and then blow out the remaining water after a good rinse, but it’s imperative it get’s dried good or there could be a possibility of some rust developing.

Dry works best for spinners. Especially ceramic ball spinners. I get that direct from an engineer at a high end bearing company in CA. (yes, I called them)

Got my $6.99 spinner from Amazon. Not impressed. The bearing has play and it only spins for about 90 seconds. I ended up giving it to my neighbors 5 year old son. He loves it.

This one was $4.99. Runtime is about 3 minutes.

Those outer bearings are very light weight, replace those with brass weights or tungsten, changes the game completely. :wink:

The brass weights in the $15 Atesson are about 27 grams each, the tungsten aftermarket weights are 45 grams each. Either way, a LOT heavier than those 608 bearings…

Edit: Pics
The brass weights that were in the $15 Atesson spinner…

The new components, high end hybrid ceramic bearing on the left of the original SS bearing, with the Tungsten weights not pressed in yet…

Speaks for itself…

I can’t believe some people still play with spinners :-p
That’s… refreshing :smiley:
I rarely saw a trend fade that fast to be honest
