What are you streaming tonight?
As we are in the modern age of music I thought I would see how this fares.
We have threads specific for cdp and tt so why not streaming as it is a modern media.
I don't care if you stream Tidal, Deezer, Spotify, Paradise Radio or any number of internet stations.
I would like you to share your tastes and method of streaming.

Listening to David Bowie’s Berlin Trilogy on Qobuz Hi-Res. Sometimes I get weak Wi-Fi coverage in my basement, and since I know these albums so well I can tell. Thought buying a streamer would insulate me from “upgrade-itis”, but went ahead and bought a nice Wi-Fi extender and some Ethernet cable from Monoprice (great sale!) while I was at it. |
reubent, Thanks for the reminder to listen to the Beta Band. I just finished up the “High Fidelity” TV series on Hulu, and I have to say it was a pretty faithful updating. And they had a whole episode from my favorite part of the book (The spurned wife selling her husbands record collection for a pittance, which was criminally edited from the movie). Loved the scene In the movie when Rob puts on the Beta Bands “Dry The Rain” in a bet to sell five albums. I always meant to listen to more of their stuff. The Beta Band - S/T |
Lou Reed - Rock ‘n’ Roll Animal Qobuz Hi-Res Spring would break suddenly at the University of Maine in the early 80s. You heard it before you got outside, because someone would always put their speakers in their dorm windows and blast Rock ‘n’ Roll Animal or Dark Side Of The Moon onto the quad. I still crank up Rock ‘n’ Roll Animal on the first beautiful spring day of the year. I determined my Wi-Fi signal needed boosting; When I check the signal strength on my Powernode it was weak. I did a speed test and determined I was downloading at around 26 Mbps. Got a Wi-Fi extender and improved my download speed to around 80 Mbps. I have a nice strong signal now, and my music quality on Qobuz went from CD quality to Hi-Res MQA. I am learning more about streaming every day... |
All good points. The weak signal was not allowing me to listen at Hi-Res quality on Qobuz, so i had to downgrade to the CD quality setting in Qobuz. I just switched it to the Hi-Res quality 24/192 and finally it is working. Also, since my Wi-Fi extender has an Ethernet jack I will run a 35-foot CAT 6a patch cable to my PowerNode and see if there is any improvement. As for MQA, I wasn’t aware it was proprietary to Tidal. I did find a Qobuz playlist called “2L MQA 98kHz-384kHz” I assumed was a Qobuz sampler for MQA. My bad. |
Various Artists - Is It Rolling Bob? A Reggae Tribute To Bob Dylan Qobuz Bob Dylan songs always lend themselves well to reinterpretation. This album proves the point. Many of his older classics are covered by established reggae musicians but still sound fresh. Well worth it if you like either/both Dylan and reggae. |
Uberwaltz, for me UB40, specifically “Red, Red Wine” was a gateway song to ska and reggae. I became clued in to The Selecter, The Beat, Jimmy Cliff and The Specials. Actually got to work a General Public concert in college. I read a funny story that UB40 made their cover of “Red, Red Wine” based on a version by Tony Tribe, not realizing until much later the song was written and first sung by Neil Diamond.
