Some tedious commutes coming up to England so bought a Fiio X1 for flac playing goodness, cheap Topping NX2 amp/dac, Fiio audio cable and some Xiaomi Piston 2 headphones. Big but budget improvement over the sound quality from my Note 4.

Can we get another photo where everything is in focus this time?

A watch that I've been wanting for a long while!

yes, and mine, I thought everyone had one

obviously i know it's de activated but can you still strip that down and service it?

are all they do is blunt the pin and jam up the barrel?

More corals, better crac than keyboards

Kobi · 7 Sep 2015 at 06:35

Those corals look pretty damn cool. With these sorta set ups. Do you leave the uv light on all the time? Or just as a party trick?

Second hand Webley Tomahawk in .22. Made in Birmingham before they moved production to Turkey :(. Just needs a a few coats of oil on the stock to bring out the grain and I think it'll be a nice looking rifle.[/QUOTE]

Nice. We'll soon have enough of these to form a GD Militia.

UK deactivation standards may vary depending upon what type of firearm the thing once was and the year of deactivation. Click my sig-link and look at one of the recent photos I posted - it shows my Bren stripped.

Love that setup HalfBakedJake! What's with the touchpad though?

I use the KVM feature of the monitor for my Mac/PC setup so the touchpad is for the Mac.

New wax for the car Did get a new drying towel but it came whilst everyone was at work and neighbour wasn't in so got to pick it up tomorrow

What's the top and legs?

The legs and the tabletop are all from Ikea, Cheap stuff. Look in the office section. Think the legs are £10 each and the top is about £15

topping make some brilliant gear. i read a link by some guy who had invested thousands into gear over decades and he said it's amazing how you can now get a setup for like £200-£300 which could match systems 5-10 times the price.

it's due to advancements in tech. i own a aune t1 myself and a schiit vali (headphone setup).

will probably end up with a topping or nad speaker setup soon enough.

Yeah I looked at the NAD 3020 and the Denon PMA-50 but both were a bit out my price range.

VW roofbars and thule 591 bike carrier for the golf

and a new oak effect desk top (well, kitchen worktop) for the cave, couldn't complain for £25 from the bargain corner of ikea. was only in there as it's discontinued, no marks/dinks etc. messy dark room pic, cat for size reference

The corals look good under all the lighting throughout the day, but really come to show amazing colours when the blue/UV LEDs kick in the evening.

Would you recommend one Cuchulain? I've been needing to get a replacement for my old 80gb ipod but not really wanting to spend a fortune either.

Absolutely recommend the X1, I did a lot of research before buying it and it appears to be universally praised, a steal at under £100.

Imagine the sound through decent headphones

Apparently that's the way to take pictures now even on wedding photographs

^Yeah this is 2015, not 1970, so that argument doesn't stand
