Classical Music for Aficionados
I remember the David Oistrakh recording. It was on a small label classical company that I can't remember. They rereleased a number of Melodia (sp?) recordings.In any case, it gave me goosebumps.B 
Tidal, Deezer
Correct. You aren't getting a high fidelity output file.Though, I have to say having the ability to cue up just about any album I want makes streaming so delightful. If you really want to have the music saved to your catalog, then just buy it. -Li... 
martion bullfrogs & orgons
The Orgon look cool. I'd love to hear them.B 
Music app
I use it and so does The Memory Player.If a $40K machine uses it, it must be pretty good.B 
Vandersteen VLR Wood ..any love for these?
Unless they are super cheap (under $500), I would wait for a pair of VLR wood.Mr. V. constantly upgrades the innards, so the more recent edition will have the most current sound (compared to new).B

Amps for Vandersteen 3a Sigs

Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts?
Hi, can you tell me what speaker manufacturer are the SVII and TEII?Google got confused.Bob 
I'm in Tidal now. Good choice!
My complaint against Tidal is that the catalog is impossible to navigate.I have to use my Spotify catalog in order to access what Tidal offers.If I try to search using the Tidal search engine, I get nothing, when I input the Spotify info, it is di...
