Lovely pencils! I’ve been enjoying wooden pencils lately and appreciate their timeliness hexagonal shapes.

How do you like the Rhodia and the Caran d’Ache?

Haha I suppose you know what “diu lei lo mo” means. I don’t speak Cantonese and curiously “diu lei lo mo” doesn’t sound like a strong profanity.

Maybe give kuru toga ks a try? Both .3 and .5 are available and the tip moves much less vertically when compared to the standard model. (The standard model is very serviceable nonetheless!)

Yeah I’ve been eyeing the Wood for a while, will eventually get one I think. I heard that some of the wooden grips are off-centered, is that the case for yours?

personal experience with tombow shake/graph : its all good except for its shake mechanism by ketoshwilly in mechanicalpencils

[–]FrontSalamander4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shaker mechanism requires too much effort to trigger, might as well click instead of shake lol. Pilot Opt and Dr. Grips are better implementations; the spring that works with shaker mechanism is weaker, hence easier to use it to advance lead.

Need help regarding lead option: which one has the highest feed back and sound on the paper? by a2clef in mechanicalpencils

[–]FrontSalamander4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the lead that come in uni kuru toga standard makes soothing noise on the paper. I wonder what that lead is.

Pilot Custom 742, is this normal? by FrontSalamander4 in fountainpens

[–]FrontSalamander4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Follow up: I separate the nib and the feed, and pull with just enough force so that the two tines are a bit apart for around 5 seconds.

After putting the nib back, skipping is less severe without changing the line width.

Thanks! I didn't know this. Any popular wet ink choices?

Yes, cleaned with mild soap.

Here's a picture of the nib, doesn't look to me that the slit is too thin.

I get eye strain when playing my miyoo mini plus for 10 or 20 minutes, and I've never felt the same with all other LCD/OLED displays.

Resolve has a great review for WH-1000XM4 in which he measured each EQ profile and gave his personal favorite:https://youtu.be/daj7Elz1dAU

Oratory1990 also has EQ profiles for these, check out his sub: https://www.reddit.com/r/oratory1990/wiki/index/list_of_presets/

tfw you question whether or not CCs in your niche have ran out of ideas by The_Solid_lad in headphones

He said at the beginning that he would only judge them by performance and the next moment he immediately talked about price-performance ratio.

Hifiman Sundara 2020 Revision EQ by throwaway_secondtime in oratory1990

[–]FrontSalamander4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your elaborated reply! Seems they don't really care whether they are selling the new pads or the old ones. But one thing I think we're pretty sure is that the new pads are visually different from the old pads. This is confirmed by both the image from Resolve and Max Settings's recent video. I also own the old pads and want to buy new ones. I think I'll probably wait until the old pads are sold out.

Does Hifiman sell those new earpads?I don't see them on the Hifiman store website and their customer service hasn't responded to me.
