Welcome! I've got a lot of hobbies and interests as well as OCD and a perfectionist disorder, so I get into a lot of things, some all the way. I've been a Photographer for over 28 years, a cyclist for most of my life, a professional Audio sales guy for 20 years, and a HiFi aficionado for much longer. I'm also a motorcycle enthusiast and obsessed foodie, with some other hobbies thrown in. Thanks for watching, I couldn't do it without you!
I have the J. Adams British MoD knife. I absolutely love tht knife and is my favorite knife when going into the woods. If you put a very sharp edge on it, it can can do anything. I definitely prefer that over the Becker Bk2. For the price of a Bk2 I could buy 3 MoD knives.
Did you ever consider doing a tune with the aftermarket intake and exhaust? I have a k&n cold air intake and a super 40 cat back with dual pipes and I f****** love the way the truck sounds but I was always curious if a tune is recommended or not after changing the air flow
I did not. With the basic filter and intake tube I used, I didn't think it would be needed. I'm using the factory airbox. The thing still rips when it's chilly outside. I drove by a car show last week after getting fuel, and I punched it a little bit, and all the guys sitting the folding chairs by their classic hotrods turned their heads to see what was driving by, ha! Just me in my U-Haul truck, lol.
That would be tough to estimate when you count all the materials from a variety of sources, and labor, since the basement was really done as a whole project.
Buying a printer designed for semi professional or professional photography printing is the right printing for regular printing is like thinking a 18 wheeler semi truck is the adequate vehicle for a soccer mum to take the kids to school… and then start talking about the insane waste of combustible when you take the kids to school and how big oil makes this big vehicles to force you to spend on fuel…
I've had mine for over 9 years and really like it. Yes one or the other inks seem to be low when I want to print a project. So I usually pick a bunch up on eBay or wherever they are cheapest and easily obtainable. It makes beautiful prints however.
Having grown up with vinyl and then onto CDs for years, I begrudgingly came back to the old wax platters. These relics are now way overpriced and overstated. CDs blow vinyl out of the water. I have CDs from the 80’s that still sound like the day l bought them. In order for an album to have the same longevity, one would have to devise a nuclear plan, move to the right climate, and invest time and money into endless quality control standards…. That being said, the cover and artwork size trump the little cd booklet and cases .., and that is it.
Is there a way to turn off or change the red RGB from behind? I mean the red LEDs that come out the HDMI and DPort connections. I have a red devil model of another GPU but I think it's the same for all of them.
My favorite lenses for my Nikon F5 and the Nikon D4 are. Nikon AF 85mm f/1.4D IF Nikon AF DC 105mm f/2D Nikon AF DC 135mm f/2D Nikon AF 180mm f/2.8D ED 9 out 10 i use the Nikon AF 85mm f/1.4D IF. Use all 4 lenses since 1996 on the Nikon F5 than on the D3 and since 2012 on the D4. Shoot only black and white portraits.
For anyone seriously considering, just know that its well documented that the stock wheel rims by WTB tend to crack at the nipples on drive side spokes when ridden for any distance. I would not order this stock and go on a big adventure thinking your bike is solid. Learn from me haha. Great all rounded commuting/gentle trail bike, but there is a high chance your rims will be toast if you put any real use on it.
A large part of my enjoyment of vinyl is exactly what you mentioned - the more "human-size" aspect of it - which includes life-size photgraphs, artwork that isn't tiny, lyrics and commentary that are easy to read, etc. The other aspect is just that there is so much more room for creativity with a 12 x 12 inch format. I have hundreds and hundreds of variations on what you can do with something that is that size and material. Cubes, pyramids, pop-up, fold out, spinner, cut-out, etc., etc., etc. The creativity that goes into the physical medium is almost endless, where with a CD, I have seen maybe a few dozen variations of the physical presentation format. And yes, the jewel cases and the little nubby holders for the inserts are just badly designed. Both formats can sound great, but for the reasons above and many more, I will always prefer records over CD's, especially the original 1st pressings of everything that was made before digitization took over. The real deal.
This guy obviously didn't do his research about this printer when buying it. It is not at all intended as a regular duty text printer - it's a photo printer with very specific uses - and as such very specific care needs as well. As mentioned below, frequent turning off and on activates a head clean and purge cycle specifically to make sure all the inks are fully available - meaning it's going to use ink equivalent to multiple prints each time it's turned on. It has to do it - and many other photo printer makers do the same thing, as do other Canon printers. It's not the printers fault because it's just doing its job. The owner didn't do his due diligence to read and understand the basic purpose of this printer, and how it controls and uses its ink supply. Further, using cheap inks in a high quality printer is a recipe for disaster - and clearly these are off brand inks known for leaking while the printer is just sitting there. If you want consistent high quality product, use high quality supplies - duh. I've had one of these printers ever since they came out - never had issues, love the photo prints it produces, and ink consumption is no different than my HP combo basic documents printer/scanner/fax - repeatedly cycle it on/off multiple times a day, it's going to suck ink - simple. There is a setting in the printer settings where you can set it to black/white only - while that won't stop ink loss due to purge cycling every time you turn it on, it will stop 'ghost' ink usage for black/white documents when the printer thinks it's got something other than plain black, and puts into the mix other colors to make what it thinks is a tinted black. Don't blame the printer for your not doing your due diligence so you got a printer that's best suited for your applications.
Pro 100 is an amazing printer for photos. I print many high-quality images in multiple sizes of 11x8, 13x19 and other sizes, and my ink usage is not bad. Love this printer. You got yourself a lemon.
Nice system. Wall-to-wall padded rug would be even better to help calm a lively room. Neutral speakers and hard, sterile rooms do not mix well. Cushy, absorptive over-furnishing also helps with trapping stray bass and high frequencies. Padded arm chairs breaking up long empty walls helps more than sound panels Long time JBL fan here going on 50 (on/off) years and always end up back with them. I have a pair of custom 12" 2-ways with CDs in essence of the JBL waveguide types. They too, are rated at 500wpcrms and 4-5 watts will run most people out of the house. They could power a pro cinema or auditorium for sure with headroom to spare. I dig JBL's past budget designs out of Northridge also. Super bang for the buck and I can even live with many of those as end game speakers. I will not sell my old budget JBL's from the "S" series of a couple decades ago. They're still contenders, even measurably so.
Agree with all you say. Will disagree with mold release. Never heard anyone involved with making lps say that there is mold release in the vinyl pellets that is the raw material. Records are produced in rooms that aren't super clean. What you are hearing is dust on the lps deposited during the manufacturing process.
There are compounds in the vinyl pellets that help it "flow" so to speak. While not technically 'mould release compound" which is typically sprayed on a mould itself, it can leach out of the vinyl during pressing. It's definitely not dust. I've seem chemical white clouds on my brand new records, that sounded horrible until I ran them through a vacuum record cleaner. This was very obvious on a $35 200g Diana Krall album I got. There were white blotches all over the record. Like dried milk. It was dead silent after cleaning.
@@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy same height as me. I watch this model in 26inch but dont like the 56CM, it look so ugly. 😄 I'm wondering if I can adjust a 54CM with stem and seat post
You 100% will loose performance with the room cut up like that..Also, Subwoofers are omni-directional;..Doesnt matter where you put them, well, kinda....I would most deffinently move a sub to the back behind the back row of seats ...but it looks amazing bud!
