BIG difference Tidal vs Amazon Music


I read an interesting article on Van Halen‘s Blood and Fire was done with a stereo guitar and I wanted to check it out. So I look for the song on both Tidal and Amazon music and OMG what a difference in sound quality between the two.  What gives? Both say CD quality but there’s NO COMPARISON!

I tested Prime for 3 months.

It was OK.

Sound quality was a little uneven from album to album, but mostly OK.

I found Tidal to be more consistent and was as good or better than Prime most of the time.

Two larger factors included:

1. Tidal connect integrates better with my Node streamer.

2. On Prime, a number of my favorite albums simply did not play on the Node...giving me faint static crackling sound and no music what so ever.

I tried the 3 month trial from Tidal. HiFi for 6 weeks and HiFi plus for the remaining 6 weeks. At the end I subscribed the the HiFi plan...had no use for MQA. I’ve been very happy with the HiFi plan.
