| CD v Streamed For my ears and system, Qobuz/Primephonic streaming sounds better than my CD player a good 80 percent of the time. The way I figure it, Q & P simply have better hardware than I've got -- a suitably vintage Sony 5400 ES. | |

| What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To? My personal candidates -- "O Mio Babbino Caro" from Puccini's opera "Gianni Schicchi."Or "Michelle" by the Beatles. | |
| Classical music listening... what is a better source High Rez or Vinyl? For me, the recording quality of the source material generally rules the day, not the medium through which it is delivered. But if I had to make a distinction, LPs might sound more luxurious while streaming & digital might sound more punctili... | |
| Best Live Concert Top 3 At this instant in my existence my top three rock concerts are Bob Marley at the Roxy in the early 1970's, Bruce Springsteen at the Forum in the mid 1970's, and Hendrix at the H'wood Bowl in the mid-1960's. | |
| Music is sound, sound can be music You guys have gotten me to attempt to define music in the broadest way possible. So how 'bout this? Noise crafted to elicit an emotional response in the listener. | |
| How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to? I usually don't plan what I'm going to listen to when I fire up the stereo. Maybe I'll cue up Qobuz or Primephonic and look at what's featuring on their home pages. I might click on something...more often than not something I've never heard before... | |
| CD vs FLAC stored on flash drive vs streaming At least with my system, I've found that the original source material largely rules. | |
| Record Jackets and sleeves I've never been that manic about inner sleeves. I figure what horrible thing could possibly occur if a bit of the sleeve creases a bit when I ootch it and the record into the jacket? Will the vinyl sneer at me and warp because not every micron is... | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados rvpiano -- currently listening to the Qobuz/Blomsted/Beethoven Sixth. A treat...even if the 'buz dropped the stream of the First Movement part of the way through. So I clicked on the Second Movement. Superb so far (fingers crossed). | |
| Notes, keys, and questions. I'm a guy who plays several instruments and isn't afraid to play each of them in a variety of keys. That said, apart from strange room resonances or something rattling around in the room or inside the speaker, it shouldn't make one iota of differ... | |
| I can't be the only Cary Audio DMS-600 user experiencing this problem streaming Qobuz ... I've been having high def streaming problems with both Qobuz and Primephonic. Sometimes I get high-def. Sometimes not. Sometimes, like you, they'll cut out midstream and jump to next track. Everybody's been passing the buck when I've tried to nai... | |
| What does Hi-Fi Even Mean anymore? I'll riff on what mahgister says just above. Go to a restaurant, supermarket, or any place where people gather and do business. Use your audiophile ears and listen to the waiter/waitress as he/she takes an order. Listen to the interaction between ... | |
