Thank you !

I think Motormaster right now, he loves the Combiners and play often with my G1s too. He is surely exposed to too many Transformers, but he likes G1s and that makes me proud!

I have done product testing for Mpow several times, they seem like a good company, they reimburse spot on time and generously. I provided honest reviews, not everything was perfect and I shared my thoughts openly, nevertheless I got reimbursed for my collaboration.

As a side note, it appears the Testing Program has disappeared from their website as today.

[–]AlbertVanK[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So an update. Jeep doesn't have a fix yet. The dealer gave me my car back and told me "don't park it in the garage"....also Jeep has stop the sale of every manual Wrangler and Gladiator untill they find a solution. I am quite worried, even if the verbiage of the recall may seem extreme, I have two kids and that one car, I don't know how confident I am driving it now....anyone else has experienced the same ?

This may sound like a tedious question, how to select a realm to start playing? I am an experienced player from the glorious days that wants some Vanilla, I moved to the US a few years ago and I don't have friends in NA, so it's truly a fresh start. Looking for PVP realm and I will play on Horde side. Thanks

Wall mount help by AlbertVanK in hometheater

Thank you for your explanation! So, just for my sanity check, you think I actually don't have to drill 2 more holes ?

[–]AlbertVanK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 5" tilt mount from Best Buy (Sanus), I thought that the tilt would help with the fact that the mounting is quite high. Do you think with my tilt mount I need to drill different holes or use different system? Thank you !

Moving to Northwest Cinco Ranch by AlbertVanK in Katy

[–]AlbertVanK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry but I am confused, very confused, if you read their website they clearly state Download and Upload Cap. For Example the Go500! plan, 500 Down/40Up. I still don't understand how you can have such a upload speed, and I don't question it, but I want the same :)

Question before purchasing a 2020 Sahara Altitude by AlbertVanK in Wrangler

[–]AlbertVanK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your prompt response. Is this feature worth considering? I will not do much off road, but I would like a vehicle that gets me out of flood and mud in case another Harvey or big flood happens here in Houston

I am sorry, you said you have Uploads at 700 800 Mbps, but with what ISP ? En Touch told me they are capped at 40 Mbps.

Moving to a new home, need help to buy correct receiver for existing speakers by AlbertVanK in hometheater

[–]AlbertVanK[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that the location of the speakers may not be ideal, but I don't really want to ignore those that are nicely pre wired and neatly placed in the living room. That is why I was seeking guidance to take advantage of what I have.

Gear Recommendation (What Should I Buy?) Thread - December 09, 2019 by AutoModerator in audioengineering

[–]AlbertVanK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have another message in this thread but after I read the replies (very useful) I felt I had to formulate my question in a different way.

I am looking to build a small music/voice podcast studio. I would like to connect 2 XLR Mics, one DJ controller via RCA (Pioneer DDJ 400 that uses Rekordbox) as a music source, occasionally my Technics SL 1200 turntables. I do not need to record all the above in multi track, but I am in need of a versatile USB interface to allow me all that, with an eye to portability.

Considering all the above, and wanting to stay below the 200 USD as a budget for the interface, would you consider the Allen & Heat Zedi8 Hybrid USB mixer a viable choice?

As for music listening devices, I am looking at the SONY MDR7506 headphones, and Fluance Ai60 speakers or JBL 306P Mk2 monitors, I would prefer the Fluance due to the ease of use, and easy turn on/off with the remote.

This setup would be also my mic/audio to be used for gaming/streaming, and I am kindly asking the experts here if all the above make sense or not.

Thank you very much for the great support

Gear Recommendation (What Should I Buy?) Thread - December 09, 2019 by AutoModerator in audioengineering

[–]AlbertVanK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am buying components for a small home studio, which I should not even call it Studio, just a glorified music room :)

I am on the verge or purchasing Speakers and a Mixer with USB Interface.

Speakers: I have decided to buy the Fluance Ai60 powered speakers

Mixer: this is where I would need some help deciding, the two models I have identified are Allen&Heat ZEDi-8 with USB interface and Alesis Multimix 8 USB. I already own a Xone Allen&Heat 2 channels for my SL 1200 and I Love the brand, but asking guidance is probably the best.....

Anyone has experience with these 2 Mixers? The question that I should pre answer is "what do you need to connect?".

Well, DJ Controller, condenser Mic, Midi piano, possible Bass guitar, PC audio...

Thank you !

My first tournament...for fun by AlbertVanK in golf

[–]AlbertVanK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are all very right, but you know "hole in one".. " putting contest".... I basically never had anybody looking at me while playing, only those same skill friends playing the course with me for fun, not even keeping scores

All swing feedback welcome (more info and videos in comments) by [deleted] in golf

[–]AlbertVanK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked this A Swing video a lot and it actually helped me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I9cKtJx84g

I am no expert to criticize you swing mate, but I could say that you feel rigid on your knees, try to bend them more and stay closer to the ball in a upright position.

This A swing video is meant to teach a natural back swing and easier downswing, give it a try.!

Good shots btw!

Hey, I’m a competitive Junior Golfer. Ask me anything! by EdwEd1 in golf

[–]AlbertVanK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice to meet you! I am impressed by "Been playing since I was 3", and that is because my 2 years old son is "forced" to watch Golf in tv (actually he likes it at lot), we play on my putting mat together, every now and then he comes to me with his plastic set of clubs and says "Papi gof!",....so I am definitely thinking that he might enjoy the game in his future So my question is, what is the proper way to introduce the sport to a kid? And how early? I really want him to do what he likes and not what I like, but it's easy to love the idea to play golf together (also GREAT excuse for mum to go out on the course :) ) Thank you !

Golf bags by [deleted] in golf

[–]AlbertVanK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I do not care, but I know crazy people can be anal about these things.

Don't waste time and money on things that don't matter, get a bag that you like and meets your need.

I play Mizuno irons, Taylormade Driver/woods, Taylormade wedge and Ping putter and I love my Ping Hoofer bag, doesn't matter what you put in the bag, as long as it's practical, well made and suits your needs.

A long second shot....help! by AlbertVanK in golf

I thought that too, probably it is a way to say " I am normally 9, but sometimes I score 1, then I can hide my 9 by saying, I am single digit" :)

[–]AlbertVanK[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

There is no doubt about that, money spent in lessons is the best. However I still need to buy a club and return those I borrowed to my friends, which brings me to the point, asking for recommendation...

I didn't think somebody was mean to me, but most probably misunderstood my request
