| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES I am going to differ from many here. On my setup, tidal $9.99 hifi sounds better than qobuz $12.99 plan. It gives me way more depth and a little more width in soundstage. Can't speak of Tidal MQA or qobuz upper plan since they are not feasible on ... | |
| Analog vs. digital Vinyl vs. CD on my system is a toss up depending on record. Slightly different presentation, both fully satisfying. Streaming a grade below because I do it from android cell phone via wifi on tidal hifi due to lack of computer in house of stereo s... | |
| Turn down the Volume! Between 70 and 80 db for me. Anything less or more won't be pleasurable to my ears. | |

| Nordost Cable Listed in Order of Importance I think it would largely depend on the quality of power in your listening room. In my case, where I have a dedicated power line in a separate building from the main house, upgrading power cords made no significant improvements. So for my specific ... | |
| low bass response And of course your room layout is not very good to be frank as pointed out by many. All I will say about that is take a look at my system and you will see how much I put in the value of equipment placement and room acoustics. Obviously you can aff... | |

| A Beginner's Guide to Audiophile Is there an Audiophile for dummies book out yet? That would be a fun and educational way to start. | |
| 33rpm vs 45rpm - which is better 45 LPs don't do it for me because normal sides are cut in half and usually better sounding LPs are originals, not recent remasters. I have a few but don't play them very often at all even if they may sound better, which is debatable. | |
| Check this out, if you already haven't. And I thought I had a lot of stuff LOL | |
| Scratch - The Crusaders Nice post. My journey with Crusaders started with unsung heroes and chain reaction in mid seventies. I added most of their albums over the years but bought an original mint US scratch vinyl just a couple weeks ago. Awesome music AND sound, especia... | |
| Point of diminishing returns for a Network Streamers? Out with the ifi zen, in with the new bluesound NODE since it is supposedly a shoe-in fit with android. Just ordered it! And the journey goes on. | |
| Point of diminishing returns for a Network Streamers? My only contribution to this discussion is, if you try to connect android to ifi zen streamer, be ready for a mountain of aggravation. My experiment lasted 3 days. Endless attempts of connectivity and android developper settings resulted in a big ... | |
| Changing electrolytics CAUTION: Today's discussions are to be avoided at all cost by all novices out there. Imbibing into them may turn you off any audiophile pursuit forever! You were warned lol. |
