Amazon music HD ( Hi-res)
I’m hoping Spotify goes HD. I tried Amazon HD for the free 90 day trial which went into my first month of being a paying member. They charged me taxes on the $14.99 monthly price which angered me to no end. I figured the taxes were in the $14.99, ... 
How much of your free time is dedicated to listening to your stereo?
Being retired and living alone gives me more time than most. I wake, do the few daily chores, then sit and listen for hours and hours. I dislike the television so it gets a very limited amount of viewing time. As I type, the song "Riverman" sung b...

Amazon Launches Lossless "Hi-rez" HD Music Service
I had mentioned above that I can scan and save artists, playlists, albums, etc. from the one on my lap, but the list is independent of any other device. When I checked my phone app and laptop app this morning, they both had the same saved playlist... 
Amazon Launches Lossless "Hi-rez" HD Music Service
Just downloaded the 90 day free trial.  I've been using Spotify because of the cost and ease of use.  I like the fact that I can control Spotify with multiple devices.  I use a laptop from my listening seat to control the notebook that's connected...

Interconnects and Speaker Cable, What in your history hit your pleasure button?
When I tried my first Synergistic Research Tesla cables I knew I had to go all the way.  I was informed of Michael Spallone's MPC tweak and sent him a half dozen of mine to be upgraded.   I never thought about trying anything else.  I have arrived... 
best vintage stereo receiver
Breathing life into a dead thread!  Agree on the Sansui 9090/8080DB.  I regret selling the Marantz 2330 I owned around 20 years back. 
So just how much vinyl do YOU own?
Around 1200 the last time I checked years ago.  Still not alphabetized, so when I look for a certain lp I come across many others I forgot about that will get played.  It's my way of checking them all out instead of just going to a certain section... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Sitting in the garage rebuilding JBL L-100 crossovers listening to h8-2’s Blues All Day on Spotify on my vintage Sansui AU-7500 - Advent /1 speakers. Put better Mundorf caps in the Advents and they sound excellent. 
Cassette tape
A friend of mine collects older Sansui gear and bought a cassette deck recently.  He asked me to record some of my lp's to his new Maxell XLII 90 tapes, and I just recorded one yesterday.  Brought back memories of '76 when I was recording tapes in...
