Can we talk about Qobuz for a minute
This is the "Bruce Springsteen" "Born to Run" That Quobuz streams/downloads that you pay for.https://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/58448It’s the worst compressed version of all 28 re-issues/originals.And here is the original 1982 uncompressed CD...

What audiophiles need if they want to stream/download.                                          Is a "Audiophile Streaming/Download Service" 1: That reveals all the origins/history/cat no’s of anything they sell you. (so you can check if it’s vers...

To Stream or not to Stream
snbeall I guarantee the convenience is worth it alone. All the more reason to trial streaming with relatively inexpensively equipment first (and with home trial). I give you that part, it is convenient, but there’s no booklet which is a shame.Bu... 
To Stream or not to Stream
+1 georgehifi! I agree with you! Yep, with the later issue compressed ****, there’s no space of quite stuff between the loud parts, it all hectic, no chance for the ears/brain to breath, and do you think the muso’s want it that way when they origi... 
To Stream or not to Stream
Just look at this compression comparison of the same Bruce Springsteen "Born to Run" from the first 1982 CD and the re-released 2014 Qobuz streamed/download one.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/cd-quality-versus-streaming-quality/post?postid...

Why have capacitors improved so much over the years?
Why have capacitors improved so much over the years? Not so with all capsAnd as far as non-polarized (plastics etc) coupling caps go, the BEST CAP IS NO CAP, if the circuit allows for it to trim out any dc offset manually, or a simple dc servo can...
