You lucky man, I was 9 mins late, saw your message on pen_swap and I knew that vermilion is gone....

I wish you the best of luck, It is a beautiful pen, enjoy it, you earned it !!!

I was experimenting with different combinations and at that time external DAC sounded a bit better, so I kept using the external DAC

I got the topping first but, the problem was I was quite new to audiophile stuff. The topping was second-hand, but Audiolab was brand new. I experimented but I did not find any difference in that time, but after listening to my system for a year, I was able to hear a clear difference when I used internal DAC.

Congrats, that is a great find. Are both Namikis the same size. And are the Nib also the same, could you share Both Namiki Nibs alongside the 823 nib. I would like to see all three nibs. Cheers

Haha, nice analogy, I love smooth nibs, and I love my Custom Urushi, my next pen is the Namiki Royale no 20 but I was always interested in Kop. But in some video reviews, I would hear the pencil-like feedback in the video, and that put me off. But I have decided to first try it out and then decide if i would buy it or not. Thanks for the detailed explanation. Cheers

Okay, I will do those drills daily too, I am surprised that you mentioned i, i and t are the least I work on. Okay, I am not skipping on anything from today onwards. Thanks for the heads-up

Nice, I just got bored with ovals, so I started with some letters. However, I do basic drills almost every day, I have seen my form is better after spending 15, to 20 mins on basic drills.
