Smart thermostat

Because I have underfloor heating in my apartment with an HR Intergas gas central heating boiler, it takes a long time to get the heating up to temperature. It is therefore better to heat at a fairly constant temperature (+ or - 1° C), but this is not very economical. That is why I purchased a smart thermostat via Marketplace for €75 excl. shipping costs.

Honeywell Lyric T6 Smart Thermostat - black - wired

This works well with Opentherm modular heating of the Intergas central heating boiler and replaces the standard round thermostat in the living room.

The black Honeywell Lyric T6 (wired, for wall mounting) is a smart thermostat that helps you save energy. The thermostat knows exactly when to heat and when not to heat. The Lyric T6 learns how long it takes before the desired temperature in your home is reached, so you always have the right temperature at the set time. The thermostat is easy to operate via the stylish black touchscreen or via the Resideo app (new Lyric app) on your iOS or Android device. The Honeywell Lyric T6 offers support for Apple HomeKit.


Specifications Honeywell Lyric T6

• Smart self-learning thermostat including boiler module
• Wired connection to central heating boiler,
• Modulating Opentherm or On/Off mode,
• Stylish minimalist design with illuminated touchscreen
• Takes user location into account (Geofencing)
• Supports Apple HomeKit and Siri voice control
• Simple operation via touchscreen or via the Resideo app

The AEG LWR7586CUB DualSense UniversalDose is a washer-dryer combination that reduces ironing work with steam. This allows you to steam smooth wrinkles and freshen up your stale laundry after one day of wear. To wash towels and sheets extra hygienically, use the 'hygiene' program. This washes clean at 60°C and removes bacteria with steam. You can also use this function if you have an allergy to animal hair or pollen, for example. The washer-dryer combination has enough space to wash 8 kg and dry 5 kg. Do you often use detergent pods? Then add this to the UniversalDose detergent drawer. Here you will find a separate box that allows you to activate pods faster. You can also use the drawer for liquid detergent or washing powder.

Manual

Fractals

A fractal is a self-similar, or self-shaped, geometric figure. This means that the entire figure is made up of several parts that look more or less the same as the entire figure itself. Nature is chock full of fractals. Think of the branches of a tree (each branch looks like a small tree), clouds in the sky, or stalks of cauliflower or broccoli. The mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot introduced the term fractal (derived from the Latin fractus, meaning broken) in the 1970s and used a computer for the first time to visualize the results of calculations. This led to the Mandelbrot fractal, which is still one of the best-known fractals today.

In the Mandelbrot fractal it is clearly visible that details again contain the complete figure.

Chaotica
Numerous fractal generators have now been released for both PC and Mac, of which Chaotica is one of the most extensive (chaoticafractals.com). With Chaotica, beginners can create beautiful wallpapers or animations in no time, while advanced users can have fun with the dozens of parameters that can be set independently of each other. Chaotica's interface is similar to other graphics tools like Photoshop or Premiere Pro, so you'll likely be able to quickly get to grips with the palettes, sliders, and other settings. A characteristic of Chaotica is that not one mathematical formula is used to generate the fractals, but many at the same time. Every parameter of every formula is customizable. The result of the calculations is projected on top of each other and you can design complete desert landscapes, starry skies, cathedrals or futuristic eye-catchers.

Chaotica is available in a free version (with limited resolution and animation duration) and in two paid versions. With the most extensive version of 89 euros you can have fractals and animations calculated in any desired resolution, up to 4K and 8K. It goes without saying that a fast computer and graphics card are indispensable! But the free version is great to get started with. The maximum resolution in this version is 1280×960 pixels. Therefore, download this version from the website – chaoticafractals.com/download – and follow the standard installation wizard.

Turntable Fischer MT-6225

The Fischer MT-6225

semi-automatic turntable I ordered from HiFiStereo.nl is same the turntable wich I listened and loved from 1978 to ±1990, I then gave it away, LPs and all, to a friend ... stupid, stupid ... I still regret it.
Fisher was part of Sanyo, later Panasonic. Quality audio, as this sleek semi-automatic turntable shows. It is equipped with a good Shure V15III Supertrack element, which stylus can be improved with an hyper eliptical needle (Tonar-06453-HYPEL €125).
I connect the record player to a Phono preamplifier (Tonar Vinyline MM/MC €150) that I ordered with it. Price Fisher MT-6225: €450

Fisher MT6225:  A Major Technological Advance in Turntable Engineering

The worlds first linear motor direct drive turntable

One of the problems in improving turntable performance, especially with direct drive systems, is the difficulry of reducing woa and flutter due to cogging action of the direct drive motor.
With its limited number of poles (usually 12) , a conventional direct drive system has an inherent problem, at its relatively slow operating speed, of low starting torque.
To solve these problems and improve turntable performance, Fisher has engineered the linear motor, 120 pole direct drive systems.

The Platter is The Motor
In effect, the platter becomes the motor of the MT6225. and Fisher's 120 pole design practically eliminates cogging action and wow and flutter - to a totally inaudible 0,03%
And the linear motor direct drive system further reduces turntable rumble to an extremely low -70 dB, so far below hearing level to be completely inaudible.

How it works
A continuous ring of magnetic material, containing, 120 magnetic poles, is attached to the inside bottom rim of the platter. As the platter rotates, each pole opposes one of the electromagnetic drivers on the base top. Each of the 120 poles is attracted or repelled as it passes the driving electromagnets for smooth, stable operation.

An electronic sensing device monitors the platter's speed, and acts as a servo feedback control to maintain practically perfect speed accuracy. A built-in strobe and pitch controls are provided.

The speed accuracy of the system is independent of line voltage fluctuations.

The Arm
The handsomely styled Fisher MT6225 is equipped with a professional type horizontal and vertical gimbal suspended tone arm for performance commensurate with its technologically advanced design.

The arm accepts all standard cartridges. The auto-return system which returns the arm to rest at the end of a record is also an advanced design with no restraints on its lateral or vertical motion during operation.

The arm has adjustable tracking force with calibrated settings from 0,6 to 3,5 grams. There's also precise variable anti-skate, and viscous damped cueing. The MT6225 also has an aluminum alloy die cast platter, and a walnut grain vinyl veneer wood base.
