I don't understand how this new member's replies have engendered an exaggerated response. I apologize if I breached the forum rules with my comment about audiophile fuses. Some "audiophile" fuses are now priced north of 3k for one fuse and I dislike the hype about "audiophile" luxury products, not ...

What if the first, or first few posts by a new member had to be approved by a moderator before going live on the forum? It'll of course be clearly communicated to everyone signing up for a new account how it's working. That alone should hopefully stop most people with bad intentions from even tryin...

We need to find the right balance, and avoid being exclusive. I agree, let us talking about finding the right balance. As a member here I was absolutely displeased to get attacked with "argumentum ad hominem" by a troll or spammer after I told him something about what we think here about musicality...

If doing A/B comparisons, I’d rather use a song I’m not too familiar with otherwise it’s too easy to fill in the missing bits because you’re so familiar with the piece. I get your point but if you want to evaluate a system on an audio show for example you need one or more reference tracks for compa...

I think the more the forum settings are for prevention of troll attacks the less is the workload for moderators. Locking of old threads for newbies is directed to do prevention since the troll can not post there and then there is no need for the moderator to react. Further I see no issues for newbie...

I agree with tokenbrit, why not just ban the antagonist/troll? Do we really need to make it harder to post in old thread? Prevention is much better than to react after necroposting/spamming. So just to ban is not a such good idea since the troll most probably will leave anyway. And to unlock an old...

Harman International think so. https://www.soundstageaccess.com/index.php/feature-articles/1259-dr-sean-olive-on-35-years-of-fast-car IIRC, TC's first album was released in the same year as Linn's Ekos, so all Linn retailers did the Ekos/Ittok comparisons with this song, funny. But it was never on ...

1) What do you think would be an appropriate period of inactivity before a post is locked? 2) At what point (age of account, post count) should a user be allowed to access locked posts? 3) Do you think this is a good idea? If not, do you have any other ideas/suggestions? 1) Three months before the ...

My concern is that redundant threads could clutter and confuse things, but the post volume on this forum is low enough that may not be an issue. -Moderator What might be helpful to reduce the post volume is that you enable only quoting the last post and not the composite post of several posts befor...

It seems we had in this thread another case of necroposting by a new account.

My suggestion would be that old threads get locked after a certain time and only existing members can unlock an old thread.

Wow!

improvement they brought in clarity , detail , and improvement in tone was undeniably impressive This forum here is different to other forums. We are looking for improvements regarding musicality and not regarding the typical audiophile terms which lead you into a rabbit hole. It is very well descr...

+1,
thanks for sharing Hermann

Audiophile fuses are pure madness, I "recommend" reading something like that:

https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/ ... use.32202/

Maybe better than using exotic fuses is direct soldering without fuse holder:

Some years ago I modified all my devices with new internal mains/earth wiring and connectors. In this context I removed all fuses. I was very happy with the result and never looked back. There has never been an issue and I switch my system completely off when I am not at home for several days. So th...

Lego, I am only referring to the Spotify MacOS version. You can try to reboot your router.
BTW, updated to 1.2.20 today, not worse than the last one.

Did you check your settings?

My impression so far is that the later versions sound better, considering long-term not directly from version to version.

Not that I am aware of, I use the latest version 1.2.19 on my Macbook.
Are you referring to one of the mobile versions?

If the crossover was designed first, it appears to me that there would be only one topology which would let the signal through without destroying its harmonic integrity: a series connected, first order dual filter network, consisting only of one capacitor and one inductor. Completely agree, Spannko...

I miss him here on the forum, his last post was nearly two years ago.

Any info?

After reading Marco's review I would not upgrading but go for complete new TM3s.
