No brainer. My favorite acquisition was the Monster. A Bridgeport Series II Special Mill.

I am using an m1s DAC, I bought it a couple years ago for $499 at MD, it was normally $1299, so I figured I would give it a try, its actually a really nice unit..
We normally just plug in the I pad through the dock (which is a Pure unit, so it bypasses apples dac...
if you look in this picture you can see a pure dock with an ipad mounted on it, its on the table next to the clock, I have this setup in a few of my systems, it works great. Super clean...

I was going to try the Olive 1, but after reading some reviews I decided to skip it...

Nice. Analogue source?

For 2015, I would have to say it is a toss up between my Cornwell ratchet, and the Toptul zero offset wrenches. Both are great. If I had to narrow down... the zero offsets. I already had other nice ratchets, and the wrenches fill a niche that is hard to ignore when you need them.

Got a part no for the Toptul wrenches?

Wilton c3

Sweet!
Dave is the only guy on this whole thread that chose a vise as his favorite purchase.
A C3 is a REALLY serious vise. 6 inch wide jaws and weighs over 200 pounds.
My biggest bullet vise is a mere 5 inches wide.
