Finally did it, purchased a bottle of Laphroaig 10 Year old Scotch Whisky. I had tried some at a party a few years ago and wanted to get into Islay Single Malts. The first dram didn't disappoint and I could feel the 'peatiness'. It's certainly an acquired taste and most of my drinking habits have centered around Speyside or Blends, but I can see Islay's as a natural progression. It was only my first drink in a while and I'll see how it goes over time. I do plan on making this a regular staple in my collection and adding more Islay's from Lagavulin, Caol Ila and more.
By happenstance I own several Sony ZX Series Headphones: ZX-100 ZX-110 ZX-310 Build Quality (ZX-310 Wins) They use mostly a Plastic Build that is quite durable; the ZX-100 I've had for over 2 1/2 years and been thrown about in my Backpack & Car. The ONLY issue with the lower model ZX-100 & ZX-110 Series are the crappy Earpads that disintegrate and create a flaky vinyl mess. Those flakes then get stuck to your ears & hair. The ZX-310 wins in that regard with much better quality Earpads. Cost (ZX-100/110 Wins) ZX-310's cost about twice that of the ZX-100/110 and I've been able to find several 310's for about $18 at Discount Retailers. ZX-110's should go for about $10. Specs They are all 30mm Drivers. The ZX-310 has a wider Frequency Range of 10 ~ 24,000 Hz and a Gold 1/8" Plug. The ZX-100/110 are roughly identical going 12 ~ 22,000 Hz. Sound (ZX-100 Wins) Surprisingly, I prefer the ZX-100's Sound Signature vs. the 110 and 31
