Sennheiser HD-650

and

Little Dot MKIII

 

Got the headphones refurb so they were only $400 instead of $650, and the amp was about $200.

very awesome

I just got these:

for €130 instead of €230

WoW I gotta say AKGs are maybe the sexiest headphones Ive ever seen, even more so to me than some of the top of the line mega luxurious wood grado cans

I got an old friend a Porsche Design shaking pen for $90. Silly little thing, but I knew that he'd really appreciate that sort of thing. Plus, I remember when my dad used to get those kinds of gifts, I guess they made an impression on me as gifts that grown up men give each other..

 

shaking pen whats that good for? a covert vibrator?

*jots it down*

hehe, so the pen retracts/extends the ballpoint every time you shake it, no external moving parts. Took him a few minutes to figure it out until he shook it out of desperation

Little Dot MKIII

i remember reading a long write up about that amp and it didn't help that i'm not an audiophile, so i didn't understand much. i only read it because i like listening to music on my reasonably priced senn hd-555s and thought maybe i was missing out on something special by not having an amp. i would have thought a hi-fi system would power the headphones enough.

My big purchase was £5000 on a Renault Clio 182 Cup (2.0 ltr).

yes!

just copped one of these

Samsung led tv fr about a grand

Kifaru pack + some accessories for 600 bucks. These are made to order custom built rucks. You choose a basic design and pick options and sizing. FWIW I used it once then sold it to a soldier for 550 and got an Osprey pack instead.

perfectly working Optigan with 12 optical discs = $450

After bonus and a nice tax return I placed a pre-order on this badboy:

I recently paid the IRS about $2500.

I also bought a Canon 7D and a couple lenses.

canon eos 60d with ef-s 18-135mm lens for about $1k

very nice headphones

very nice laptop (g73h)

Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 ultra wide-angle lens with CPL filter. about $750

!!GUILT!!

lotta camera monkeys on here. recently got this supertelephoto: 55-300mm! it's been incredibly useful. between it and my 35mm f/1.8 i'm covered for 99% of photo opportunities.

Your tokina should be in your hands shortly, shouldnt it?

I hope the x100 suites my needs. I need a small digital with high ISO to carry around with me, I tried the Sony NEX series cameras and that didnt do the trick. A Leica M9 would be THE camera for me, but no way I'm dropping that kind of dough. From the shots I have seen it shoots very well at ISO 6400 and has a fairly fast lens, f2. With the crop sensor it comes out to 35mm equivalent so I think it should sit just right with me.

If I don't like it, I'll return it and maybe invest in an xpan or another M body .... it never ends...

Edit:

That's a great shot Al Hounos!

Hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow, cannot wait!
