The ifi cables are a no brainer for me, needed a 1,5m cable, and ifi Gemini is my favorite.

 

Vovox Textura for the speakers made a real overall improvement in the soundstage and details, at first I was only to try them, but they are expensive, so I opted to not buy them, after connecting the supplied cables again, it was a problem, I felt loss of information and detail and focus… So Vovox textura stayed.

 

At the moment ifi iUSB3 is in the system, the sound feels more natural than ifi iUSB, but is in the system only for a a day and I did not had a calm listen or attention to the new iUSB, impression is that the sound has a more natural presentation, for now I could be mistaken, as I changed the cables also.

 

When I go back to my original iUSB I will post some impressions, if is a step up from the original, it will stay, if not, it will go.

   

Peregrine (Falco peregrinus) at Chichester Cathedral, RSPB Chichester Peregrines 2016, West Sussex England

This one is the most beautiful version of the  Watch Sport, at least for me.

 

Love it.

Field Bird's Nest (Cyathus olla) on the Dune Slacks at Camber Sands, East Sussex England

I recently started a new project at Improving that will have me splitting time at the office and on-site with a new client so I decided to bring my 30" Cinema Display home for safe keeping. My Dell 2408 sits nicely beside the ACD in portrait mode providing 1920 pixels of vertical resolution.

Little Owl (Athene noctua)

South Downs National Park

Sussex England

 

Another revisit to this amazing pair of Little Owls

This one was a long wait to receive, at a time I forgot I have ordered one.

 

Not that I think a needed an iPurifier, but since I brought my iFi system for my mac pro was in a search for an USB Type A better quality plug for my gemini to connect my iDSD, the iFi supplied one was since day one something I always felt the need to upgrade.

 

To be sincere I did not listened to it, the quality of the iPurifier 2 construction is amazing.

 

I will when I have some time have a listen to it with my Focal Solo 6BE.

 

Best regards.

Green Form Fly Orchid (Ophrys insectifera var. ochroleuca) photographed in Hampshire England

Sold my old MacBook 12 2015, but this year went all the way up.

 

Opted for the M7 1.3 with the 512 SSD early 2016

 

If you ask me if the price is logic?

No not at all, I see this machine as my little beauty.

 

I use the MacBook 12 essentially for configuring network hardware outside my office, and for that use is perfect.

 

It’s a little faster than my last year 12 inch.

 

For the price you could buy a better MacBook no doubt on that, but for the type of use I need for this MacBook, this is the perfect machine for me.

 

One purchase from the heart not from the mind.

  

If I was to upgrade to the iPhone 7, had to have the jet black, do not need the power of iPhone 7, but could not resist the beauty of this one.
