| Best songs to test speakers If I'm limited to 1 album it would be a 'Book of Roses' by Andreas Vollenweider. It contains instruments that highlight all aspects of a system including harp (including some deep bass notes on the harp that many systems can't reproduce), piano, a... | |
| Magnepan 20.7 and Subs I'm a newbie Maggie 20.7 owner as I just received a pre-owned pair in excellent condition. The SQ and feeling that the artists are in the room with you is unbelievable. I would like to trial the use of a sub to allow the sub to handle frequencies... | |
| Streamers with best apps? I've tried remote control apps from Lumin, Aurender, BluOs and DCS. I agree with lots of folks that voted for Lumin - although the sound quality of the streamer is more important to me. I'm thankful that DCS recently upgraded it's remote control... | |
| Grimm findings on streaming audio I recently switched from TIDAL HiFi to Qobuz after trialing Qobuz for 30 days. Qobuz seems to have more hirez titles compared to TIDAL's MQA titles and you avoid the whole MQA debate. | |
| Qobuz Special Offer I've been a TIDAL HiFi subscriber for 4 years. I recently signed up for the 30-day Qobuz trial. Seems that Qobuz has more hires albums than TIDAL has MQA albums. I also find I can listen to Qobuz hires albums in my car's stereo by bluetoothing my ... | |
| Yet another Qobuz vs. Tidal debate I've been a TIDAL subscriber for approx 3 years. I signed up for a 30-day Qobuz trial. I was skeptical at first but am finding the Qobuz catalog comparable to TIDAL for my tastes mainly in rock/jazz.There seems to be more hires albums in Qobuz ... | |
| Most annoying song, period. @jerseytraiI'm always surprised when I hear 'Blister in the Sun' at MLB games. | |
| How many of you believe in MQA? @LarryI don't think it's fair to judge the sound quality of MQA based on a BlueSound Node 2. No offense but the old saying 'you get what you pay for' is in effect here. I can tell you that me and many friends who have listened to MQA on my dCS R... | |
| NAD M10 Streaming Amplifier Any NAD M10 users able to fast forward/reverse Redbook tracks on TIDAL? TIDAL MQA tracks allow this feature, but not Redbook tracks.Thanks in advance. | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming @drbarney1 With all due respect, I think you're a bit off topic. This discussion thread isn't about downloading song titles and storing them locally. It's about is the sonic quality of RedBook CDs better than using a streaming service such as Tid... | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming @rvpianoI don't think there's a cost analysis that would show that purchasing CDs is less costly than music streaming services such as Tidal, even if Tidal was to double the price. Tidal gives you real-time access to over 40 million songs directly... | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming @rvpianoAre you serious about what will artists do if CDs go away? Digital recording and streaming have opened the door for hundreds of artists that can't afford the cost and bureaucracy of getting their songs onto CD or vinyl. Many artists are di... | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? Would speaker cables that use separate jackets for the + and - speaker have zero (no) capacitance? | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables @littlecx I agree that the Graphene Matrix (GM) XLR IC's are amazing. The build quality and XLR ends Bob uses are world class. Better highs and larger sound stage. Convinced me so I ordered the GM speaker cables. | |
| ROON help needed @grannyring I never noticed a Tidal SQ improvement using Roon (DSP disabled) vs. the native iOS app from dCS or Lumin, Has anyone done a credible review of the SQ of Tidal on Roon vs. one of the many Tidal integrated network streamers (eg. dCS, L... |
