So the RCA didn't change and still juts out the back, but it makes sense as the machine is small and having the cable not fall on your hand every time you move is nice.

It lines really surprisingly well. Kinda reminds me of a Rapier II in a good way. But far less vibration. I really appreciate how little vibration it has.

It's far from silent. It's not loud like an ego but it's a little more chattery than a swashdrive with give.

So far I have only put a few hours of lining on it. I will have to try as a shader at some point soon. I am trying to decide if I use it for lining or color on my next tattoo.
