Beatles Remasters: Mono vs. Stereo Debate Thread
i picked up the last (only?) mono box set today from bestbuy in my town. i guess there are occasional benefits to living in a town where no one cares about quality music. had to call elusivedisc to cancel my order. i paid $250 for the mono box set... 
How large is your music collection?
i have about 450 cds and about 40 lps. just started getting into vinyl, so i expect that collection to grow at a more exponential rate than m cds.

hmmm....how do you have your files saved and what version of squeezecenter are you using? i presume you have each album in it's own folder and you're using sc 7.0 or higher.lemme know if you have any problems with tag&rename. you can email me ...

richard:change the "artwork" section to from blank to "folder.jpg" or "cover.jpg", whichever one you have named your image files then do a rescan and see if that doesn't help.

before going any further, have you checked your squeezecenter settings? specifically, the advanced->formatting section. go there and see what's entered under the "artwork" and "artwork folder" heading and repost here what's entered there.

as i suggested in your last thread, tag&rename is a much better program (imho). i downloaded mp3tag and it appears to just list every file in your directory, but not allow you control over individual albums. with tag&rename, you can select... 
Album art, windows and squeezecenter help
download tag&rename as i think you may have to associate the .jpg files with the metadata. http://www.softpointer.com/tr.htmi haven't heard a cogent argument pertaining to the audibile superiority of flac vs. wma lossless. i can't speak for wm... 
pass XA 60.5 vs Pass X250.5
i don't own any pass amps, but for that frequency range, the 250.5 would probably be best in my opinion. using the 60.5 for such a limited frequency range is like buying a ferrari to be your sunday grocery-getter. 
Hi-Fi Power Conditioner ?
what price range is in question? i picked up a used bpt 3.5 signature for $1300 and it's made more of an impact on my systems noise floor than any other power conditioner (monster, panamax, exactpower) i've tried in the past.

VPI Super Platter - where is it?
i heard it was discontinued in lieu of the new aluminum platter that comes with the classic, scout 2, and (soon to be released) scoutmaster 2. email vpi to confirm/deny. they reply quickly. 
Linn vs VPI?
i bought a new scoutmaster for a great price and it is the first turntable i've ever owned*. it was super easy to setup, even for a novice like me. granted, an "expert" may have done better, but i'm getting fabulous sound out of it despite being a...

phono preamp crackling
mapleshade makes a similar zerostat type device called the ionoclast for $40.00. i live in the deep south where humidity is often 70%+ and i have wood laminate floors as well. i still have issues with static when playing records. static is created... 
phono preamp crackling
without hearing it, i would guess static as well. i've taken records off the platter before and holding them 3 feet away from the needle will still cause static noise/popping through my speakers.
