    Rocket Stove/Mass Heater for those really chilly mornings

    Having measured -13Celsius here last winter, and my poor wife getting up at 5am each morning, I have been looking for cheap, but efficient ways to heat up a room or two during winter. With Eskom as reliable as... well, Eskom, it had to be something not powered by electricity. Enter the rocket...

    Joining the Cult of the Infinitely Baffled

    Just a night or two ago, Dewald had a 'Pa tot seun' talk with me, about not splurging too much on subwoofers. He even convinced me that I do not necessarily need a horn sub with my Altec A7s, but that you can find great box subs at bargain prices if you keep your eyes open. I know he was right...

    The Russian Link to Zuma, Kushner, Trump, Mugabe, etc.

    You might find this verrrry interesting (and scary!) if you are willing to invest the time to watch these videos, and then read the article on Mr. Z and his nuclear cherry. It's a long watch, but... just do it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bEdMuKq30I...

    Multi (mini)- split air cons available in SA?

    It seems to be a huge thing overseas already, but I am struggling to find systems in SA. I friggin' hate that SA companies cannot list products and pricing (!) properly on their websites, so  that I end up having to call them anyway. Yellowpages making a comeback? I am looking for a ductless...

    For fdlsys: Miss Daisy's Merc

    Sorry, just noticed fdlsys's comment on Merc - it's nice to drive when: Yeah, I know: the shape is just damn ugly (at least to you less artistically inclined lot!). But, the Miss Daisy on this backseat is a wild-eyed, tequila swiggin', joint totin' old gal, going "C'mon, step on it! Don't you...

    Active cross-overs: audio nirvana to NIRVANA

    So, after 30 years of hifi, I find myself wiping the slate of what-I-thought-I-knew clean to begin the whole process anew. Thus far the new inscriptions read: HE speakers (horns), SET amps, and now: active crossovers. This thread is to open a discussion where the guys who already know can teach...

    Speakers FOR a specific amp - Natural evolution in Hifi market?

    During my search for a SET amp on the internet (36hrs of homework), I noticed an interesting trend in DIY circles (commercial options soon to follow??). Speaker builders and amp builders getting together to build equipment FOR the other one's equipment. (No, don't ask me for links... they got...

    New discovery for me... Line Magnetic: some kind of wonderful

    Was searching for a SET amp that can do a bit more than 8wpc, and discovered this company in China. I spent more than two hours reading up on them, and, mostly, looking at incredible pictures of their stuff. Speakers... the valve jobbies in front with 300B's are the speaker power supplies...

    The thrill of F1

    Once again this afternoon's F1 race was so exciting, I just have to mention it *yawn*. Especially when - with 38 laps left - they started lapping 3 secs slower than they did before the safety car... I think I'll just write a program where every team can submit their plans for a race, the car's...
