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.

I just started streaming last month and primarily use Qobuz and Tidal. Spotify brings up enough music I'm unable to find on these so I'm keeping it for the time being but I prefer the SQ of Qobuz & Tidal. My Node 2i is connected to the dac of my Cary 306. Best sound I've heard from my setup to date. Listening to a lot of Chet Baker and Art Pepper. AP's Nature Boy a real highlight. |
I am kinda torn between both. When I listen to one I usually follow right away with the other. Tea for the Tillerman 50th anniversary release coming out soon. Not a remastered release; Cat Stevens/Yusuf actually re-recorded the whole album with his son and as many of the original musicians he could get. |
Listening last night to The Essential Julian Bream, RCA red seal, catalog# 88883746962. 24/44.1 on Qobuz. In the NY Times article about him yesterday, the author mentioned one of his goals was to bring pleasure to people with his playing, and these excellent RCA recordings certainly succeeded at that for me. |
Pat Metheny Group - S/T, Qobuz Hi-Res I was pretty excited when I saw they had put out all these Pat Metheny albums in Hi-Res. I tried playing American Garage and there was something wrong with the first file, like it had been put in a blender and kept skipping back and forth to different parts of the song. This one is sounding fantastic though. |
I’m obsessive about music. Have been my whole life. I have huge playlists of all sorts of genres I’ve hand-picked everything on Tidal HI-FI. Lately it’s been mostly around building and listing to playlists of the Deutsche Grammophon Classical catalogue (it’s over 2,000 pieces and counting and I’ve only gotten through their 2020 and part of their first year of listings). Lots of high quality MQA recordings. Also, have been listening to my playlist of their entire Rudy Van Gelder engineered jazz recordings. Incredibly great variety with that golden age sound from his famous study in Englewood Cliffs, NJ. If anyone is interested message me and I’ll be happy to send you playlists. I’ve put in thousands of hours over the years. Lots of ambient, rock, folk, opera, world, great African albums like the Touré-Rachel Collective - Tel Aviv Sessions; Vincent Segal & Ballake Sissoko - Chamber Music. Anyway, music is my obsession! |
uberwaltz OP Yep, heard about Trini Lopez passing away this morning. Never listened to him much; he was more my parents generation. I listened to his first album today, and I have to say he was quite the entertainer. |
Thanks, Uber. Gonna be a long slow process, but at least the insurance company is A+. No hassles at all. Unfortunately, the spouse is like, “Since all this loud repair work will take a couple months, we should move out and get the guest bath and kitchen done...” With COVID-19 having her work from home, I can’t fault her logic. |
Graceland - Paul Simon Amazon HD. For the most part I have not been able to tell a great deal of difference between HD and standard def Amazon Music. Probably a limitation of my gear but for whatever reason on this album it actually makes a noticeable difference. I can see Chevy Chase dancing to You can call me Al. |
