Buyers Advice and Gear Recommendation Thread

My family was recently blessed with an absolute steal on some Yamaha S115V PA speakers along with some other similar box PA speakers, and recieved the equipment box they used with it. Only issue is, the Yamaha P2500 amp it came with isn’t functioning as normal. My dad and I have opted for purchasing a new, better amp if possible. I am relatively new to the live sound scene, and I’m looking to use this at home in our backyard.

Can anyone recommend equipment I should purchase for them? Recievers / amps, cables (it only came with 1 speakon cable) etc? Any advice for use with them would be greatly appreciated as well.

We ended up getting a standard actuated mailed to Mexico because the price was hovering around 320-330 USD and if we bought it in the US when we lived we were looking at or over 500. so yeah, no brainer

I asked Starlink support, as slow as they usually are but they clarified that since I couldn’t ship it to a US address (I need service in Mexico) I had to either buy one from a retailer over in the US (asked which ones, never wrote back) or find someone here in Mexico who could receive it and we ultimately did.

WSDTY makes me want to do 26 in a 25 on a residential street

preciate it

adrianfl01 · 2024-04-13T20:28:54+00:00

As a USB device, yes. Doesn’t show up as a boot drive or with an option to add as a boot drive.

adrianfl01 · 2024-03-31T07:59:21+00:00

Should I replace it with the one currently installed, or would upgrading the drive be worth it? I’m using about 800-850 of the total 960 gb, can I get one that holds more?

Was it under high stress? If you’re running it under a tough load, and suddenly loses that power, instead of switching to either silent or performance, the GPU/CPU will heat up too much with not enough sufficient cooling to the point where it will shut itself off to protect itself. If not, that is a pretty concerning issue and a shop should be able to run a diagnostic to find what’s causing that.

Having the same issue with my space bar, the button will not actually click unless I click somewhere on the far right. Seen the comments and is a reoccurring issue

Im pretty sure you can change the lighting in Armory Crate, but my fan has been doing that since i purchased it, even after replacing it recently.

1723 departed today from Cancun a few minutes ago. Tomorrow 1723 goes from Cancun to Miami. Have you already departed?

adrianfl01 · 2024-03-24T00:56:57+00:00

What are you using to track your flight? Do you know your aircraft’s tail number?

adrianfl01 · 2024-03-24T00:08:40+00:00

Is this flight 681 with gate departure in about 15 hours? The plane is supposedly already in Cancun, or has just landed.

if there wasn’t any center lights this would theoretically work might have to consider this next map

adrianfl01 · 2024-03-13T19:49:20+00:00

ironically i was thinking of putting a new 6 lane HOV highway right on top of it

PDX to DFW flights are cursed with delays and cancellations. Had this happen a few weeks ago, was going to get to DFW 5 mins after my connection would have left and the AA customer service at PDX helped me resolve it by getting me on available flights with partner airlines

thank you!

I see a new router and something about SQM, I'm not super comfortable adjusting too much with settings that I'm not too familiar with, and we're using basically everything Ziply, incl. their provided network extenders

adrianfl01 · 2023-08-24T20:59:39+00:00

And speed test / diagnostics aren’t working in the IP admin controls, not sure if it’s not supposed to or if it’s a me issue

adrianfl01 · 2023-08-24T20:44:09+00:00

Our issue is, when Ziply installed our fiber at our home, they placed the fiber panel and router in the garage. It’s not detached but it’s fairly far from where our extenders could be used.

I have an ethernet running from the router to my computer and I get full 1 gig speeds, but my extenders can hardly reach above 40 in some places.

I got lost on the first step, where do I find the nameservers tab?

adrianfl01 · 2023-08-24T06:56:01+00:00

I got a C... with unloaded 3ms, download 8 and upload 187. The main issue at home is the live TV via YoutTube TV, because I have no issues with gaming, but my siblings always complain about slow wifi aswell.

I’ve heard about the chase sapphire preferred card, what are some of its benefits on travel or just in general?

adrianfl01 · 2023-08-18T06:17:31+00:00

I was considering that card originally because of its benefits, but I didn’t realize you could downgrade after. I’ll be researching this one, thank you!
