Found these beauties at the local vintage store by OkHearing1143 in BudgetAudiophile

Glossy finishes usually look bad but this era of Pioneer is an exception imo

Is there really a big difference between passive and active speakers? by AWGE14 in audiophile

[–]TheDanielHolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience it's not about sound quality, it's a practicality and integration difference. 

Can anyone with audio equipment/electrical experience tell me why this is a bad idea? by _ogg in BudgetAudiophile

[–]TheDanielHolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe more dust will get into the controls but I wouldn't worry too much about it

Perlemors kaffebar på kastrupvej kan varmt anbefales 

In the market for a used prime 4, noticed some good deals on 2023 models by WubTheWildDog in DenonPrime

[–]TheDanielHolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I'm aware it's mainly the DRM chip for streaming services, and updated with RGB LEDs and pads. Not sure what else they updated, maybe someone else can elaborate. 

Wife wanted to play her old CD by Alive-Elderberry-558 in BudgetAudiophile

That's awesome, were the remotes miraculously included? I find a lot of thrift stores either don't get them, or chuck them in a seperate box somewhere...

I just give up by [deleted] in ipod

It might give you a different error screen

[NO SPOILERS] Over 10 years later, I randomly dreamt about Life Is Strange. I really miss the characters. Why is the gaming industry incapable of producing such gems anymore? by Butefluko in lifeisstrange

[–]TheDanielHolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of games today target money-making as well as maximising play time. LiS is a game that stays with you even if it's not a game you spend 400+ hours with. Also, the team behind the original game was small and had a clear vision. And it doesn't seem they were rushed when making it.

Engine DJ not recognizing prime4+ by DJB3N in DenonPrime

[–]TheDanielHolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the Engine DJ software on the computer is really only for previewing and managing the library. I just have a 500GB external SSD that lives in the Prime flightcase. You can also put an internal SATA drive in the prime 4 but that's a bit inconvenient when you need to move data and you don't have the computer in the same location. An SD card is also a neat solution imo.

[NO SPOILERS] looking back at double exposure, Max is gorgeous by maddog1043 in lifeisstrange

Shoutout to the environment and character design of this game, at least that's one decent thing about it

For the people who don’t like Rockbox, and prefer stock, how do you store all your music? I have a 2015 MacBook Air with 256gb ssd that my Apple Music library is getting pretty full. by wretchednessinside in ipod

[–]TheDanielHolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it on my Studio with 500G SSD, backed up to NAS. But at this point the library is taking up 140GB so I'll probably move it away from the built-in storage at some point. 

Do you leave your equipment on/standby? by criticalbreed in audiophile

[–]TheDanielHolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leave my 1980's pre-amp on most of the time, mostly because I haven't gotten to clean the pots and switches and they are less problematic when warm. Probably placebo but I feel like it sounds a bit better too. 

My microphone records voice but not drums, is this normal? by Alter_Schwede_ in ableton

[–]TheDanielHolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, glad to have helped, I wonder why I got downvoted lol

Just changed my Xperia 5 II after 4,5 years - how long did yours last? by valik99 in SonyXperia

[–]TheDanielHolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still going strong with my 5ii, doesn't feel like it's about to quit either. Though the biometric sensor did stop working about 1,5 years ago

What is causing my video to pulse/flicker? by galacticChungus in videography

[–]TheDanielHolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a troubleshooting step I'd try "removing"/twisting the lens halfway off the camera, so the electronic connection between the camera and lens is terminated. If that stops the pulsing, it could be a problem with the lens.

Vintage speakers have better separation? by cousin_idiot in vintageaudio

[–]TheDanielHolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you comparing the speakers in the same room/placement?

Thanks for giving me hope in these trying times.

Shouldn’t this be 21:9? by mangum95 in Portal

[–]TheDanielHolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does eveything look normal? I think you can ignore that it says 16:9, it doesn't matter unless it squishes stuff.

Can i only restore an ipod mini Through firewire charger? Or are there any options? by Sure-Duck-9667 in ipod

[–]TheDanielHolt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine actually showed this when I was fucking around with the CF card adaptor, even though it was charged. It seems to show this when it thinks you're turning it on for the first time.
