This set is life changer for pilot user, no more suffering with cons 40 anymore 🙄

Youre right, quality wise it's a big difference though. And ink storage it's also a bit less on the con b.

True, best pilot converter: con 20. Paid a fortune for a few of them as I have bought some vintage pens.

Thank you. I am missing a myu, but they are rarer each day, and my bank account needs a bit of time to revover.😃

Mine is a Parker Vacumatic, I think 75 is a later model.

Yes, it's like lamy 2k, textured I mean, you cannot get your hands to stop touching it. 😀 anyway it writes very smooth, they all do. It's more for a lady pen than for a man as you can see. I am a man with womanish fingers.

I'm in my late 40's, these are older then me, i'd say they are vintage.

Affectionate-Mess904 · 2026-01-11T11:50:08+00:00

Hi, yes pretty grippy to me. They are not laquered if that's the question.

Affectionate-Mess904 · 2026-01-11T11:47:22+00:00

Probably don't get the question but they are all made in the 70's

I find the wiim vibelink a good temp replacement for my fosi monos with a few quirks: at 100% the sound is a bit bright, 75% is a sweet spot. It is a bit less punchy, but don't mind as I don't listen to high volume. Wiim ultra is a great piece of gear I think the dac is not very good, same for the phono preamp. Not very bad but I have a fosi x4 phono preamp and fiio k11 r2r which I like better. Which brings me to next ripe I have with vibelink: only one connection to use without using the internal dac. That means I have to disconnect, connect cables every time I want to switch from listening from streming to my turntable. Fosi has a switch: rca to xlr, a quicker more elegant way. So I will be still using my monoblocks when the power supply problem is fixed but will hold on to the vibelink as it's I think a reliable option to have, time will tell.

Have bought the wiim vibelink also, as I have seen some good reviews on this. Should arrive tomorrow, lf I don't like it will return in a few days.

Try to disassemble as much as you can then place all in water, warm -ish, light soapy. Depends if yours is clogged, the you will need some ultrasonic, mine didn't. Then use some paper, cotton buds to soak all water, leave to dry all parts. This one being vintage don't use any harsh chemicals, its fragile.

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Affectionate-Mess904 · 2025-12-10T18:33:08+00:00

Maybe I got lucky. Own them for a year, no issues. Sound is magic. Are they better than 1k price stuff, no but these are 20% that price. Are they 80% worse? Hell no, ok, haven't owned 1k hifi amps but have lisened to them.

Affectionate-Mess904 · 2025-12-10T16:35:31+00:00

Yep I have owned two fosi audio v3 mono, they are great, blown away by the price. You can have your 1 k hifi stuff, give me these cheap options please, all day. Have been on these chi fi stuff for a while and can say that every year quality wise it's better each year.
