Spotify sound inprovement.
I haven't noticed any improvements in Spotify's sound. Currently running Tidal and Spotify. Too many features on Spotify to give it up, even with the lower quality files. The playlist sharing, music suggestion algorithms, free hulu, etc. I would s...

Streamer vs. CD Transport
One thing that I’ve learned from this, is the immense difference cables make on the quality of the sound.  It’s a night and day difference between the two cables.I was beginning to think something was wrong with my system until I went back to the ... 
Any like the Cambridge CXN v2 streamer?
I love my CXN V2, so I'll answer as many questions as I can. 1) How’s it sound? Is regular internet radio significantly or just slight improved from some thing like I have( Pioneer Elite N-30) or other $500 range streamers out there?I can't speak ... 
Tubes or not
I really liked the Musical Paradise MP-D2 when I heard it. It's a modular design that allows for upgrading DAC chips and other parts down the road as well. I think it's a killer buy for the money. Maybe someone else can speak to how it compares to... 
Rega P6/ or Clearaudio Concept, both with same cartridge?

Revel speakers - dealer scuttlebutt
Revel just announced multiple new models at CEDIA. That doesn't happen for brands Harman intends to drop. If they go year after year without any releases or updates... that's when a product line is in trouble. You can also normally find industry n... 
Does anyone have experience with Devore O/96, Tannoy Legacy Cheviot and JBL 4429?
Is there any reason why you’re considering the O/96 vs two other speakers that are basically than half the price of the O/96?I’m not sure what country you’re in, but if you can I would look into the Rosso Fiorentino Volterra. They are not as effic... 
Cartridge Reccomendations for the MoFi Ultradeck
So based on that info, is it fair to say that most medium and low compliance carts would be a decent fit? I know several people who are very happy with Grado carts on their UDs, and I've seen some with Nagaoka carts that are also quite happy. I pr...
