| Tidal vs. Spotify Ummm, the point is that the audible difference is clear, but a lot still has to happen for ease of use. If I sit down at my rig once a week, but I listen to music every time I walk, drive, cook, or fly, the lossless part of the equation only comes... | |
| Tidal vs. Spotify Following off BCGator, I think as a platform Spotify is just more competent at this time. As I've said previously, Tidal very clearly sounds better. I only get to listen off my good rig on occasion, but I'm always listening in my car, off my deepb... | |
| Tidal vs. Spotify Just following up on this. I'm A/Bing Spotify and Tidal right now. There are definitely holes in both libraries and some non-overlap. Tidal definitely sounds better with the lossless streaming.However...For $10 a month, you can get 320 kbps with S... | |
| DAC, amp & headphones 1k I had a Musical Fidelity X-Can and a pair of Grado 325's that I thought was absolutely spectacular. I let the pair go for $400. You could probably get the combination of DAC and amp from Musical Fidelity and the Grado RS-1's for Space efficient, a... | |
| Upgrading from B&W 601 S2 to ??? Can't believe no one jumped on this. There are tons of great speakers in that price range, especially if you look at the used market. Totem Arro, Meadowlark Kestrel, Paradigm Studios and more are all worth looking at. | |
| Music Hall Mambo vs. Peachtree Decco I currently have a pair of Meadowlark Kestrels, which should be easy to drive for a Decco and not too lean for the Mambo.Toss up? | |
| New Music Discovery: Priscilla Ahn I'm randomly going to bump this. Her CD "A Good Day" is stunning. | |
| Totem Arro and Rainmaker... other speakers? I can second the Sttafs. I found them to be a very reasonable compromise between transparency and fullness. I'd say you'd lose 10% of the absolute clarity of the Arros, but in exchange you gain a lot more range and depth. | |
| Totem Arros - Tube Amps ? I heard the VTL with much of the Totem lineup very recently. I was very impressed with it in conjunction with the Arros. Since I was auditioning speakers, I didn't listen to any other amps. I do recall it being better than the Musical Fidelity X-1... | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? Tube buffer or headphone amp? | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? With the price range most people here are playing with, I'm surprised on one has recommended anything from the Headroom line. I've heard nothing but good things about them, especially the upper level amps. My friend has one and says the crossfeed ... | |
| Replacing Forests??? My mom picked picked the Sttafs over the rest of the Totem line up for 3 reasons.1. looks. no silver claws (she thought they looked obnoxious) and still pretty small.2. lacked the ultimate clarity of the Arros, but in turn had a broader and fuller... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? I'm just waiting for the flying spaghetti monster to show up. | |
| B&W Nautilus 800.....where's the bass? Congratulations. You can't argue with success. | |
| Totem Arro vs. Rainmaker Yea, I'm sorry I can't throw down for a pair of Watt Puppies or 800D's in the basement of my mansion. I was merely saying it would be more convenient to keep them on my shelf. The guide for the Missions I'm using right now says that if toed in cor... |
