stuff I use

Audio Equipment

  • DENON PMA-655R

    Precision audio amplifier, delivers fine, high-definition music from my pc and my tuner.

  • DENON TU-255

    RDS Tuner, catches the waves and feeds it into the PMA-655R.

  • HECO ARGON30

    Soft sounding, large volume mountable (non-floorstanding) german loudspeakers. These soft speakers combine perfect with the analytic amplifier, the connection is made using copper/silver combination cabling.

  • HECO Slam 10A

    This Active Subwoofer boost the bass sounds and gives the sound an extra punch.
    I usually turn down the bass when not listening to boomboom-style music.

Mobile Phone

  • Siemens ME45

    After years of Nokia (5110, 6250, 8210,...), Ericsson (T28, T39m) I moved to the Siemens ME45. Shock and water, resistant it proves itself a powerful partner to my powerful life. No other phone made it 9 months with me without repairs, defects, damages.

    Another goodie: The ME45 is packaged with an included data cable.

Computing

  • Sun UltraSparc II @ 186 MHz (Dual)

    I got this babe in Jul 2002. It used to run up to 4000 users for Ision Austria, but now it runs in my room!

This machine boots Sun Solaris and Linux, and is used for work as well :-) .

It features a MATROX graphics board as well as some IBM harddisks and a MSI KT266A Mainboard, a TV board, various Network and IO boards, an (integrated) Promise IDE RAID and a Soundblaster PCI128.
