It staggers me how far we've come with IEMs/earphones.
 
Picked these up for $44 (usually $50~55), during the recent aliexpress sale.
 
They have 14.2mm planar magnetic drivers, and while fit and finish is a bit rough, the cable they come with is a beautiful silver plated copper braided cable, and is replacable/non-proprietary (4.4mm TRRRS jack, but also available as a normal 3.5mm TRS).
 
It's got a W-shaped curve tune, which I find a bit intense at higher volumes, but is generally very well done. If you're a bass head, give it a bit more sub bass on an EQ (or turn on a bass boost), and it'll punch very hard and fast, just like any good planar does. Just an incredibly detailed, energetic sound. Especially if your hearing's getting a little weaker, I think these'll let you hear frequencies you haven't in a while.
 
Bloody hell, you used to have to pay in the $600~1000 for this kind of sound, only half a decade or so ago.
 
And they're easy to drive, almost anything should be able to, although they do get better with more power.
 
Oh, they're called the Artti T10. The tips they come with aren't great, I like Acoustune AET06, which you can also get on Ali.

Cat Wagon! 

What a cool vibe.

What a banger. Vocal honey from Ado as usual.
I've gone ahead and bought the FLAC of this song.

Found something pretty cool about my car, the people who programmed the infotainment are obviously gamers; you can access a hidden menu which lets you bring up a bunch of different diagnositc screens if you punch in a particular code, and they called it "Cheat codes".


 
Keeping this in mind, I'm pretty sure whoever programmed this was also a sadist, for choosing ABC layout for the onscreen keyboard.

A roller dial eh, pretty cool!

This is my favorite AliExpress watch. It uses a mechanical counter, about the size of what you'd find on a cassette deck, to display the time. Under $50, too.

Try that.

My grandfather gave me his old watch.

discovered this Fly Me to the Moon using Linus' AI generated voice. Seems cool to watch and listen.
 
 

Bought a Seiko SARX055 last year via sakurawatches, it's a real pretty watch. Runs on a 4R15 movement, and is about -3 or -5 seconds per day in terms of accuracy which is pretty darn good out of the factory regulated. 

It's often seen nicknamed as the "Baby Grand Seiko Snowflake" since the dial design is somewhat similar to the Grand Seiko Snowflake that's very popular.
The metal bracelet is nice, but I opted to go with a Navy Blue Miltat Nubuck Leather strap instead for comfort. 






Too be frank none of my pictures do it justice, it looks far better in person and has this sparkle in direct sunlight. 
Here's a picture of the watch taken by way better photographers than I. 


My watch collect is still fairly small, and I plan on keeping it that way.

 

Yesterday I had a day free, and the weather was decent for washing, so I did a huge exterior spring clean.


 
Citrus prewash + Snowfoam, contact clean, chemical decon, clay decon, DA polish (meguires compound + polish), wax (Soft99 fusso coat). Total time taken was around 6 hours.
 
Still need to do interior and alloy wheel barrels, but that'll have to wait for some other time.
 
First time using Fusso coat, I'll see how long it lasts with only maintainance washes once a fortnight or so.

Oooh a 308 GTi, good fun these!
