Et tu solderdude?

Everything in the picture can be checked with other posts on ASR. Other photos of the same Zeno, including in front of the same cabinet, decorations, and equipment, the block diagram for which is also here.

We replaced the rug since I took the Nipper shot.
 
The earlier posted picture still looks suspect to me (not the picture above you just posted)
Especially the white parts and the 'cutting' around the dogs head and back.... at least it does to me and reckon also to John.

You asked and agree with John and posted why I think this is the case...

I photoshopped a @Buckeye Amps logo onto a case?

You can also see it is Photoshopped when looking at the shadows. The shadows at the dogs ears do not match against the shadows of the Bose box.
The suspiciousness and confidence in the forensic analysis of is amusing.
 
It just looked fake, photoshopped or AI, that’s why I said what I said. No accusations, just that it looks weird. The dog looks inserted, the carpet and the crate don’t look right. Maybe it’s an iPhone/android AI cleaning up/enhancement thing.

Cheers!
Or there are multiple light sources - or just the perspective doesn’t match your expectations. The shadows match quite well, especially if a wider angle lens has been used.

No offense taken. But your first sentence here does in fact carry an implied accusation of fakery. I can't imagine you'd do that spuriously or maliciously and I know exactly how the image was created so that makes me curious.

I believe we generally are more on guard against manipulated and synthetic media than we were, say, 20 years ago and for very good reason. By now we are familiar with counterfeit humans and maybe have experience interacting with them. My phone routinely offers to replace me in every text chat app and I don't know how to turn that off. I assume some of my correspondents use automation to chat with me. I don't know for sure that I have not already had voice or video conversations with passing counterfeit humans. This is the new environment we inhabit and it encourages suspicion. I dunno if that was involved specifically in your response to the image.
 
Opening a "you were mentioned" Alert while still waking up and trying to figure out what tweak would improve our amps and why photoshop of our logo was being referenced....then finally scrolling to the first page and seeing what the thread is actually about :D:facepalm:
 
Every time cat people relay their experience, owning cats, it just gives me more reason not to own cats.
 
I like puddy tats, but I'm allergic to them so I can't be around them. If not, I would apply for a position as staff for one.
 
my dog is forbidden to come near my system….he tends to mistake the speakers for trees!!!;)
 
That hound! That hound! Maybe the speakers have wood in them from a tree that a dog sent a pmail on, and the odor persists.
