Episode 190 centers on the new Aeon Mira 5S landing in the shop and the crew digging into what makes the machine different. The conversation hits the build quality, the RF tube, why the form factor matters, and the engineering decisions Aeon got right. From there they branch into practical business thoughts about timing big purchases at the end of the year, sponsorship perks finally figured out, and getting the podcast’s audio backlog fully caught up. The Mira’s early quirks, a possible coil-whine mystery, and some fun community chatter round it out.
