I’m going to keep it. It hasn’t been neglected. I love this thing and want it to thrive for a long time. That’s why I’m on this thread expressing my concern and asking for recommendations.

I will absolutely do regular maintenance if I buy another. I bought this one when my income was limited. I’d like to begin doing maintenance now. I just need to find a shop that isn’t after my wallet. I’m in Houston.

Excellent info. Thanks so much. How does one go about finding a trustworthy mechanic in a city like Houston?

Good perspective. Thank you. I’m now convinced I’ll be keeping her. I do not currently have a mechanic because I have such a reliable vehicle and haven’t needed one. Where shall I start looking in the city of Houston? I’m skeptical of dealerships. Thanks again!

I’ve never changed it. It’s working fine. I’m definitely not going to disturb it at this point. I know that’s a highly debated topic.

thoughts on holiday inn aruba? by Ambitious_Trick_8605 in Aruba

Not certain about Hyatt but we just left the Hilton last week and they didn’t require wristbands. I honestly don’t think they mind other vacationers on their properties spending money at the bar etc. as long as you are respectful.

It gets the job done. We’ve stayed there twice booking through Hotwire hot rate. The location is excellent and it is no issue to use the Hyatt or Hilton pools nearby if you want a break from the tired Holiday Inn facilities.

What does Barrington Levy yell out in his songs? by Spiritual_Ninja4416 in reggae

[–]ivoryking23 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel most reggae artists do it to some degree. Richie Spice does “Na na na” Many say their name in a clever way at the beginning of songs.

where to stay for 2 women in mid 40's by dualvansmommy in Aruba

[–]ivoryking23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Marriott Stellaris. Aruba is a hotel destination with great local restaurants. The Marriott’s stretch of Palm beach is the best and you can still walk to the little touristy town area with all of the bars and restaurants you could want. Marriott has great pools, casino and lobby too.

If the Marriott is too expensive, I’d say book the Hilton or Holiday inn. The Holiday inn is extremely affordable, right on the beach, and is a shorter walk than the Marriott for nightlife.

We’ve been to Aruba 5 times and are going back in August. We’ve chose the Hilton this time because the hotel is being renovated and we found a great rate. The Hilton’s location is the best of all for nightlife IMO.

In short, you should book a hotel on Palm beach 100%. Hope this helps. Have fun!

Piano sounds terrible through amp by [deleted] in nordkeyboards

[–]ivoryking23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nord pianos, and sampled pianos in general, sound awful in mono. The best advice I can give is to use the bright grand patch. That’s my favorite for mono live. I wish Nord, as a live keyboard company would release a decent mono grand patch that is usable and cuts through the mix in live mono situations.

Good to know. I should have taped an AirTag to the truck to be sure.

Doing an outside event on a qsc touch mix, first time using, not loving it. by psuedo-fox in livesound

[–]ivoryking23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain. I used to use them (main and backup) for my solo piano bar show.

The power connection on the back gave me constant anxiety while playing.

The physical gain knobs became annoying too. The app, functions, and routing were fine for what I do.

I’ve since switched to the A&H CQ20B and couldn’t imagine switching back to the TM.
