    I have Huck Finn and the bowl size is an ideal measure for a short smoke in between.

    Who over spends at Christmas

    No hurry, no hassle, no gifts, no family affairs as in former times. Just my wife and me with our cheap plastic Christmas tree. We love to cook and drink and smoke and most of all we’re moving to our second home, our - as we call it - ramshackle hut - in Cape Town for summer. We leave in a few...

    What Music Are You Listening to? November, 2023

    Back in 80s it was all about self staging. Nina did it as German post-punk-girl in the finest way. Now she’s living in Berlin as an elderly lady, usually without any Make-up, hardly to be noticed. I like her sound. Who is Rick James by the way.

    I decide on chamber size, other aspects are design, they smoke more or less the same.

    Vinyl Set Up

    Those are high efficient speakers at 97 db per watt. With valve triode of 1,5 watt output you go a long way.

    As long as you’re willing to dive with into a selmade project I would recommend these open baffle bipolar loudspeakers. They snipe away 10000 dollars speakers for about under 800 bucks, believe me. http://lampizator.eu/SPEAKERS/PROJECTS/P17/Endorphine%20from%20Kingston%20Kitchen.html I use...

    Vinyl Set Up

    No speakers alone won’t do the job, there must be something to amplify the signal either a stereo integrated amplifier or receiver or active loudspeakers with a built in amp. A phono-preamplifier is just to equalise the RIAA frequency curve and get a few Milliwatt. (Estate)-Loudspeakers you can...
