Snif.
So finally, it was time to let go.
After Benny's unrecoverable smack in the chops almost a year and a half ago it was time to relinquish him to someone who intends to let him see out his days in the funnest way possible!
He's going to become a twin-turboed, stripped out drift monster! lol
Buyer's going to commence with the build in Spring and send me pics when complete. May even get a ride too. That should be fun!

With the proceeds I treated myself to this. 5 points and a subscription to 'Gadgets n geeks' magazine for a year if you can guess what it is? 8)

Drift machine sounds good!

That looks to be a digital to analogue unit, looks swish. Not got round to investing in one yet. How does it sound?

4 points :D
It's the Chord Mojo. Sounds lush. Does 32bit DSD files via an FPGA-based DAC chip and drives my Audeze LCD2's with ease. Not some off the shelf DAC chip but a bespoke chip. Makes my ears very happy!

Benny's dead eyes on the trailer - haunting, then being given new life like Frankenstein's creation into a drift 'monster' :cry:
