| How to insert album cover art on music files? I use the music file editor that comes with dbpoweramp to Manually fix tags and art as needed. Just right click on the files and tag and add artwork as needed. In most cases dbpoweramp does a good job of adding cover art at rip time. If not the... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Another happy ending. 👍 | |
| Wharfedale Linton Heritage vs... I demoed the Lintons and really wanted to like them but I found them hard to listen to. The sound was just a total mess. Shouty, unfocused and incoherent. Something may have been amiss. The amp used was a basic a/v amp so maybe that was it who kno... | |
| What have you been working on in 2020? Mostly just enjoying the music but upgraded the computer I run my music servers on a few months ago. Also adjusted placement of the kef ls50s a tad and adjusted bass levels on Ohm F5s. Everything else is locked in so I leave it alone. | |
| Should a reference speaker be neutral, or just great sounding? Practically reference with this stuff is a pretty useless term though it is good for everyone to know their own personal reference when they hear it otherwise one may flounder chasing unknowns. | |
| Looking for new speakers What soix said. Try a different source other than phono and see if a problem there too. If there is then it’s amp or speakers. If not that would point to phono rig or phono section of amp. Troubleshooting expensive component systems is not easy bu... | |
| Looking for new speakers If you hear distortion with new gear upstream, can’t rule out the possibility something there is the source. If it corresponds to the speed of the turntable, could well be an issue with the phono section of your system. What cartridge is being use... | |
| Tin Foil Hat Audio Also don’t forget that just because something is there does not mean it is better, just different. | |
| Where has been your most effective placement for an aftermarket fuse? That’s high hopes for any thread. After all this site is here for people to sell things and make money. Hype kinda goes with the turf in high end audio. I’m sure those not looking to profit might be able to behave themselves though. | |
| Where has been your most effective placement for an aftermarket fuse? One does have to wonder where the pricing will stop on fuses. I don’t see anything much to stop it. Big profits, few facts, many opinions, money to spend.It’s really all about cost. Nobody will object to paying a fair price for a fuse. But hype ab... | |
| Where has been your most effective placement for an aftermarket fuse? $500...no.Makes these at $240 seem like a genuine bargain. They will only be appreciated, though, in @uberwaltz’s immortal words, by "those fortunate members with the hearing to know that they do indeed work". That is a very good sales pitch for a... | |
| Focal 1028BE2's or Tekton Moab Towers Apples and oranges. Especially in form factor and how that will play in your room. Either can be made to sound very good if set up optimally. Personal preferences on sound will also be a big factor. No assurance Tekton would necessarily be less ... | |
| Focal 1028BE2's or Tekton Moab Towers Apples and oranges. | |
| Where has been your most effective placement for an aftermarket fuse? Also given the very proper assertion that results reported will vary case by case for many possible reasons (from no noticeable difference to whatever level of awesomeness is reported), it is not permitted to reject any reported results that displ... | |
| Where has been your most effective placement for an aftermarket fuse? uber,That's good! Maybe if the usual shillers, obfuscators (chief one is missing in action which bodes well for this) and other hardliners on both sides can tone it down a bit some useful information will come of it. |
