| Avoiding the Paypal currency conversion fee. It's a shame that they wouldn't offer to waive the fee. This, in spite of making tons of money from all the other fees they charge.B | |

| Tidal free trial subscription I just found out the 'high quality' setting on PC is the same as 'extreme quality' on Mac or Android.@jond .I paid for a subscription in order to access the high quality sound they advertise, it was only after trying to find specific works by majo... | |
| Tidal free trial subscription PS- How do you get 'extreme' on Spotify?B | |
| Tidal free trial subscription I concur with your assessment of Tidal's library, as well as their sound quality compared to Spotify. (Though I am sure others will disagree).I think you should contact your CC company and explain the situation. I don't think you should be charged... | |

| Subwoofer for classical music listener @4hannons ,If you do run cable under a rug, route it such that it will not be trod upon. Walking on cable can wear down the insulation on the cable and give you other problems.As far as a cable, I believe Almarg recommended this for me a while ago... | |

| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black Are any other members noticing a long blue script over the OP's tag?I use Google Chrome, and I noticed this started happening a couple of month's ago to posters ID. I thought it was something Audiogon was doing, but I am not sure.Bob | |

| Subwoofer for classical music listener Oh yes, don't connect the sub without the crossover or you might do some damage. The Vandy sub is set to deal with the attenuated bass signal from the crossover. If you run it directly, it will be getting the full signal and amplifying it accordin... | |

| Recommended Speaker List for Atma-Sphere OTL Amplifiers. I played a pair of Zu Union speakers with my MA-1's/MP-3, the results were incredible. They came close to my Vandy Treo's.I don't have the M-60's but wonder if a pair of Zero's would allow you to use them with the Treo's?In any case, Ralph makes a... |
