What's a really great Streamer/DAC box for just streaming Tidal?
No one can answer your questions about why you prefer one DAC or streaming source over another.  Make your own decision and enjoy the music.

I love Elvis Costello.  His records take up a lot of space in my collection and I have multiple copies of a few of them, including a number of the MFSLs (which honestly aren't that great).  My Aim Is True was a fantastic debut, so unlike anything ...

Uber - I used  Plast-I-Clay Modeling Clay.  I bought 8 lbs. from allartsupplies.com for a little over 20 bucks.  I didn't use it all and gave what was leftover to my grandaughter, so it was a nice "two-fer"!The  QL-Y66F stock feet are small and ...

I love my JVC QL-Y66F.  I have 5 turntables, including a Clearaudio Emotion with the Satisfy arm and a Hana SL, but the JVC is my "main" table.  I had to stuff some plasticlay inside the plinth and replace the bouncy feet with some highly damped a...

Uber - Los Lobos were great!  I've never followed them closely, so it was close to seeing a new band, except it was one that has been playing for 45 years and is very tight and has a great repertoire.  We were front row center, which was pretty co... 
How much are AR AR3's worth these days?
I’ve listed things on Craigslist and had multiple offers to purchase at the listed price and realized I could have priced the item higher, but the thought never occurred to me to pull the ad and try to get more. I’m not sure if I’m dumber than the... 
Abbey Road 50th Anniversary
I didn't A/B it with other versions, but the bass definitely was one of the things that stood out to me, not in a bad way though.  The bass lines were clear and clean and well defined in relation to the other instruments and it gave it more of a "... 
what's a good fm tuner?
Tons of info on tuners here:   http://fmtunerinfo.com/Sound quality is one issue, but reception is probably more important.  I have a Magnum Dynalab Etude, and while I love the sound, it doesn't pull in distant stations as well as my Onkyo T-9090...
