Morning shinies 
Played with the Tripod rta this morning. First attempt was great, but wasn't bowling me over. Then I remembered SMT's brilliant post and raised my coil up a bit, and the difference was amazing
What flavour it brings out in cream mixes is just fantastic 
I'm running it wide open with no mtl insert and no chimney/chamber reducer. The draw is still on the restricted side, more restricted than the Gear rta wide open. It's definitely in your ballpark Ms @Katya

Being married to a Chinese lady, we have an Asian motif going on in the family room and somewhat in the sun room. Púsà is the center of it all, and who us English speaking folks know as Buddha. According to Sue(my wife), Púsà brings peace and protection to our family and home. If you notice, she sits on the Lotus.
I need your help @Pigs. I saw something in one of the pictures that was very concerning to me, and I believe happens to be of special interest to you. I need your input please.

Shiny arrival, the Meze 99 Classics have landed! I'm just a half hour in and listening to Paul Simon's Graceland 25th Anniversary Edition at the moment, colour me very impressed. It is an exceptionally well mastered album though.
I'll have to compare them against the Ultrasone HFI-780 and Fostex T50RPs later.

Very nice Shiny!!!!Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes (alt vsn); gimme that bass cranked!!!
Original was mastered nicely. 25th pops. Greg Calbi did both.
Some Lotus pics I took, and a huge statue of Púsà in Sanya at a huge Buddhist temple complex, in the Province of Hainan China. It's an island in the south of China. We have a house in Sanya. I love going on vacations there. Maybe not so much anymore though. Threw in a bonus pic of a cool critter in the backyard. And also one of my son 15 years ago

You never told us about your twin brother.
Does he collect asMODus too AND does he have an Ohmsmium ( like mine or @Zazie's )?

Cmon guys credit where it's due! Roy Halee did the recording and mixing. The mix is where the musical balance, soundscape, stereo field is created. One song might take days to mix and a well mixed album will sound almost unchanged after mastering. Mastering is the final process that might take half an hour per song. Greg Calbi is a safe pair of hands but can't take credit for how good Gracelands sounds.
He has minions everywhereI need your help @Pigs. I saw something in one of the pictures that was very concerning to me, and I believe happens to be of special interest to you. I need your input please.
They are great. Possibly the best MTL setup with drop-in coils out there. I like everything about the Zlide/Zenith line--tha tanks look good and they come in 24mm diameter, refilling is easy, no leaks, the DTs are nice; the coils (I prefer .8 to 1.6Ω range) are reliable and perfect for not too tight, smooth vape. And for those who don't want to or can't build their own coils, they are a godsend. They just work.
If Ares 2 is anything like the Zenith, I'll be happy.

That's interesting. Just like the Dvarws. I wonder why they are abandoning outside AFC. I still believe that the diameter (size, shape) of the airflow hole under the coil is the most important, but I really like the combination of both--under the coil and the outside air intakes.
It's Freakin' Tube Tuesday Baby!!!
V&D Soul + 7/8's mod (nickel/brass). And...... @Daniel Forsyth, haha, I can't let you be the only one rockin' pretty in pink.
I want that drip tip!
I did a bit of research a while ago on the name Brunhilde and Valkyrie was the only one I could say properly
So I think I'll just go My Valkyrie and the days of week like SMT recommends
There are various places that stock i t but mostly Europe based I believe. It's a very good rta. Hope this helps
Finally a tank for us in the middle. At least on paper. Too bad it's another 22mm tank.
