    The badge system is a cool addition to the learning scheme. It's pretty good that you can go back to anything you have missed or forgotten.

    Well, I finally received the last piece in my recent head-fi gear splurge after a month of waiting:

    [​IMG]

    The HE-500's will be going in favour of the LCD-2's, which is a shame because they were such a good all rounder. There were just a few had a few niggles with them and the LCD-2's are just so good, in the end they were too similar for me to justify keeping both.

    Now I just need to properly test the WA7 and decide whether it's a significant improvement over my V200 (if at all). Not going to post my initial impressions yet as it's still cold out of the box and I need to give it some time for it to break in.

    Oh that's just filth. There's something about the look of tubes (let alone the sound...)

    FTTC modem installed today, syncs at 80/20. Happy bunny :)
    Plugged my own router in within seconds of the engineer leaving. Despite me asking him otherwise, he would only plug in the isp provided one.

    I can assure you it looks even better in the flesh :D (turns out the camera on the Nexus 4 sucks)

    I still can't believe just how heavy the damn thing is, it's only 12cm x 12cm and it weighs 4kg! :eeek:

    I went into Topshop to abuse my 20% student discount today. :) Picked up a new pair of shoes.

    I like them. They look less like slippers when worn and more like formal shoes.

    I don't like, Converse(and anything that looks like them), basketball shoes, most trainers, patent leather, rainbow coloured suede, shoes with lots going on in terms of extra bits.

    Don't get me wrong, love a good pair of Chelsea boots, but the mixture of material and the seams are just a bit wrong..

    I can't say I'm too keen on them, depends what you wear them with I guess.

    Definitely not something you'd see me in though.

    Clarks had sold out of the only Chelsea they had in store. http://www.clarks.co.uk/p/20351433 Less textured "leather", and more classic. Might pop in next week to see if they've restocked.

    I usually wear dark wash jeans and shirt with my more formal shoes. I do need a lace up pair of formal boots.

    Try your hand at building your own. A friend of mine has built a few Valve based amplifiers and they sound better than his stereo. Cost less than $100NZ or just over 50 quid.
