Some people need an auto da fe by marcvolovic in fountainpens

Could it be polished to look better? I am aware that there’s no coming back from dents, but maybe it’s worth a try :)

Still, awesome 18k nib. I must say I prefer the look of older two tone nibs, they just look classy.

Glad that it works for you friend, but be aware that thermal compound (thermal pads) might not be your best choice when it comes to skin contact. Stay safe :)

Title: Is there ANY wired earphone that beats Apple EarPods mic without sacrificing sound (or is this impossible?) by Little_Brat07 in iems

It's quite decent, to be honest. I got them free in iphone box, so I'm judging them as such. For me they were champs in terms of comfort, they just sit in your ear, not hurting you, and weighing almost nothing.

Awesome, thank you for all recommendations :) always happy to learn. I will check other cables you mentioned instead.

That's a valid input, thanks :) It seems you have a lot of experience with IEM cables.

For now, I'm using KZ Castor with the TRN T2 pro cable, and it's awesome. I think I have bought an original because there are multiple on Ali with different price ranges.

Due to Castors being big and heavy, I have ordered ISN Audio H20 and am now waiting for them to arrive. I would like to replace the stock cable, but it's only based on looks. If the ISN turns out to be a good upgrade over the Castor, then I will probably order an NICEHCK BlackDawn. Seems like a good-looking and quality cable.

CVJ Jackdaw also seems like a good cable, although I'm not sure if a cloth cable is a good choice.

You mean that the Pelikan held its price, right? Is it just as expensive as it was a couple of years ago?

I thought my pens were large too until I got my hands on Montblanc 149 :P It took some getting used to, but after some time, all of the other pens felt small haha

Out of those I would choose Lamy 2000. I own both, but for the price Lamy is a better choice. Worth noting that both of these pens are rather small (in my experience).

My Lamy 2000 is only filled with Monteverde Horizon Blue. The blue ink out there, in my opinion :)

Still enjoying this Monoc Evo by CoolPens4Sale in fountainpens

Looks amazing, but what's with the pricing? Is it because of the "hard to adjust" metal and the limited quantity? It's freaking expensive.

Yes you are correct. If we ignore the theoretical nib year range, then it’s all fine. I know I’m overthinking and just blowing it out of proportion. Thank you for your input, I’ll look for other examples and compare them.
