Futureproof.

Pretty impressed with it. A couple of shelves took a very minor knock in transit which I can't be arsed to quibble over (they're hidden at the back) and the badge isn't quite on straight :roll: but it's rock solid and looks nice.

Would look much nicer with oak speakers mind :palm:

Collected the MiPad and 2 of the 3 pairs of Piston 2's ordered. Ibuygou order hasn't arrived yet.

Whats with the weird smell on those Piston 2's? Think i read a review somewhere about them having some sort of odd smell. Loving the sound so far though!

Going to give the MiPad a proper once over tonight. From a quick test though it's lightning quick and the display is utterly glorious (no really it is. Better than the current iPad Mini I think). Initial impression of it is it's worth every penny. :)

My Pistons arrived from Ibuygou yesterday. I haven't sniffed them yet but I have listened.

The sound is really good, better than my Shure se210s at about a sixth of the cost. The bass is a bit on the heavy side, but other than that really impressive.

I got this weird button on a rubber clamp as a free gift. Anyone have any idea what that's for? The writing is all in chinese. :think:

You put it in your thing and it does some things. :awe:

If it's what I think it is, put it in the headphone jack and its an extra button for your phone.

Looks like you are correct Pouangalang. I hadn't realised it was unsheathable.
