Recommend an "adiophile worthy" pen?

"I bought a $7 pen because I always lose pens and I got sick of not caring." - Mitch Hedberg

Wow its Pengon!!

I have one suggestion. When you do find the pen you like, look up the spelling of "audiophile" and write it a hundred times.

The pen you choose depends on your tastes.

Some prefer a pen with a more fluid presentation. But any pen, no matter how fluid, can eventually become dry and etched. Of course, some are more fatiguing than others, and some write letters with a good bottom end. Some are thick and syrupy, and may have a significant smear, particularly if it's not time-aligned. The goal is to have blacker blacks.

Some people wrap rubber bands around the pen to reduce ringing, while others swear by cryo treatment. Don't forget to get your pen modded and have it re-tipped for optimal performance, and get involved in the debate between moving ball and moving fountain head. And remember, the pen is only as good as its source ink, as well as the pen-paper interface.
