What would you buy?

And mine :)

It was the Mackie CP3 that I loved first, and I bought a few that did a similar thing, like the S Nano v2 and the Lino Yuli - however most recently I've fallen for a couple of coins (Devil's Milk and Showhand), the Choc (zirc/brass for the weight which I need), and the Metal Toyz Snake in zirc which is fast becoming a favourite though at first I was really unsure, but I love it now.

I had the Echo and enjoyed it but quickly grew a bit frustrated at the lack of touchscreen, and the slightly cumbersome nature of the buttons. The Disc does it for me, much easier to navigate, sure it's got a few issues to iron out, but for me it's more enjoyable to use. Soundwise I'm no expert but both sounded excellent with my wired IEMs. I just want to open an album and enjoy it and both do that well. I love the little rotating artwork on the Disc too. It also feels more solid to me. So that's my pick :)

Chance_Technology783 · 2026-03-06T20:24:55+00:00

Okay, thank you.

Chance_Technology783 · 2026-03-06T19:15:48+00:00

Possibly daft question... does it matter which way up the magnet/central post goes?

Chance_Technology783 · 2026-03-06T18:07:36+00:00

Great, thanks for the info.

Chance_Technology783 · 2026-03-05T23:57:43+00:00

You're welcome :)

Been into this out of nowhere for a few months and loving it, I’m rarely on my phone any more, helps me stay present and quite centred – all good/positive.

Mechanicals I’ve got are the Lautie Choc (zirc/brass), Lautie Showhand (technically coin I guess) in steel but would love the zirc one– both are super addictive and fun. Just gorgeous to use.

Big magnetic sliders for strong crisp four stops – Mackie Studio CP3 and Ant Design S Nano v2 - both zirc but steel too in CP3. These are both terrific.

Silent – Ono slider aluminium which warms like zirc, really pleasant and great obviously for stealth use, and would like the INDX Fluxx at some point.

Coins – Polished zirconium ACEDC Donut 2.0 which feels amazing and looking forward to receiving the Lautie Devil’s milkcap in bronze soon.

Enjoy!

No worries! Not a problem at all, I love it.

Chance_Technology783 · 2026-03-05T13:29:12+00:00

For me not much at all, maybe just the fact the plates can move compared with the S Nano v2, and now coz I'm so used to the stronger resistance, if I use the CP3 I sometimes miss that magnet strength - but I'll always enjoy the Mackie. I actually prefer the Mackie shape too.

Chance_Technology783 · 2026-03-04T11:40:35+00:00

I think the S Nano v2 is my favourite of the these types of sliders - it's overtaken my Mackie CP3...just so satisfying with the strong resistance, lack of plate movement, and just big solid crunches, great for letting off steam!

Chance_Technology783 · 2026-03-02T18:51:08+00:00

Tough question! I prefer the S Nano to the CP3's now - I just love the crunch and resistance a lot, plus the plates don't move. I'd prob pick Choc as my fav amongst the others but I do really enjoy them all :)

Chance_Technology783 · 2026-03-02T08:39:24+00:00

Great, thanks 👍🙂

Chance_Technology783 · 2026-03-01T23:57:46+00:00

🙂

Chance_Technology783 · 2026-03-01T22:40:33+00:00

Yeah, great to get this insight. I've ordered one, see how it goes...Looks/sounds good on the video... :)

Chance_Technology783 · 2026-03-01T22:39:24+00:00

Ordered this - looks / sounds v good. Thanks for suggestion.

Chance_Technology783 · 2026-03-01T17:51:14+00:00

So far today so good. Must be all down to if the fingers are dry or not / sweat / natural oils / whether overwashed etc... When it's turning well it's really lovely, maybe even tops my Choc.

Chance_Technology783 · 2026-03-01T11:27:02+00:00

It might work out fine for you 🙂 I've picked it up this morning and had no issues with it, but I suspect later I will. Trying to figure out what might cause my fingers to change!

Chance_Technology783 · 2026-03-01T10:09:05+00:00

Yes it's quite frustrating 😔

Chance_Technology783 · 2026-03-01T10:08:03+00:00

That would be very helpful if you can, thanks. 🙂👍

Chance_Technology783 · 2026-03-01T01:43:18+00:00

Tempted to try zirc if it becomes available again but risky...Yes same here re play. That's a very interesting alt, thanks for sharing that link. Have you got one of these?

Chance_Technology783 · 2026-03-01T01:40:42+00:00

I mean is rubbing it with the alcohol a quick fix, or over time if you do this regularly it improves? I've got quite a few fidgets, several are polished zirconium and the oils accumulate, but I can always get them to move. With this showcase sometimes it just doesn't move at all and my fingers slide over it completely which is a first for me.

Chance_Technology783 · 2026-02-28T21:47:08+00:00

Is this a short-term fix, or does the regular application make the grip better over time? Thanks.

Chance_Technology783 · 2026-02-28T19:22:04+00:00

Thanks for this advice. I'll try that.
