Disclaimer: FiiO sent this bad boy to me, free of charge, in exchange for my honest opinion. Make of that what you will. But this isn't that review. This is a simple wireless test. And an admonishment.
Stay inside. Our lives, and the lives of every living creature on this planet and beyond depend on it.
Still, since some of you are not nice people...
If you're going to wirelessly break quarantine, you can't do much worse/better than FiiO's BTR3K. I counted 93 metres into the weeds, but I could have gone farther. The BTR3K has it in it. The thing chugs. It also sounds good. And does wireless.
Proper review coming soon.

Fujifilm's firmware 4.00 turns the X-T3 into a true iconoclastic beast! Down with the dSLR! The resultant schism in the Catholic 5D4 world is yuuuuuge! And, in protest, the atheist cometh!

Original video: 02 - Higher Purposes - An A to Z wherein Aiwa meets VorZüge and the AM-F80 is sublimated
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0iEq2RpT78
Aiwa's AM-F80 is one of the most beautiful Minidisc recorders ever. Its backlit screen, easy to press buttons, and powerful internal amp, make it a classic for utility and sound.
Its warts: overly aggressive volume amplification, and internally generated noise, are hard to forgive. Thankfully, options exist.
Let's take a closer look at my favourite option, Vorzüge's VorzAMP DUO II.

About Marche Minidisc:
Marche Minidisc will cover a variety of topics central to Minidisc. When it covers headphones, it will do so in a Minidisc-specific manner, aimed at finding headphones that deliver the least load to the widest variety of MD amps, but also show which - if any - MD units are capable of going toe-to-toe with modern hardware when driving earphone/headphone loads.
And, while we're on it, I will cover the nitty gritty of post-recording ATRAC anomalies, recording ins and outs, and a whole lot more. If you're a benchmark geek, I have published a number of RMAA results at my blog, below:

Disclaimer: Many thanks to Yongnuo for providing this lens for the purposes of this review as well as for upcoming articles at a few choice and high-traffic sites. The YN60mm F2 goes for 349$ USD. You can find out all about it here: http://www.hkyongnuo.com/e-detaily.php?ID=431
In a previous video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU7gkM88Nxc), I unboxed the YN60mm, took a few sharp snaps, and said I'd be back with more. Well, this is more. There's a lot to like about the YN60mm, but in equal, if not greater measure, there is more to dislike.
Distortion, image occlusion, and flare stop this lens from being great- because it could be. It has fine bokeh, is fast, and stopped down, plenty sharp. But you be the judge of that.

This is my farewell/review to/of Canon's 80D, which rocked most of my videos this year, and which blew me away at most every twist and turn. I've since sold it, the circumstances of which I hope this video illustrates.

Because my iMac's graphic drivers and Adobe CC have been acting up, I picked up a Wacom Mobilestudio Pro. Here is the pen case it comes with.
The songs used in this video were downloaded from Free Music Archive. It is All Will Be Well, from Weaklybeats, circa 2014. It was composed by RoccoW:

So, this is the first of a series I hope to be able to publish as often as possible, casually discussing things that are in my studio and office for work or play.
Today, it's F-Audio ear pieces, the Canon 5DMKIV, and my favourite M39 lenses for macro, as well as a farewell photograph trio to the Sakura trees around my neighbourhood.
The pretty photos of the Leica SL came from this video:

and were shot on a Fujifilm GFX and Cambo GFX with the 80mm Sinaron I talk about in this week's Thursday thing.
