| On mid-fi do you hear much difference between Tidal and Spotify Portland - I can't say whether a Dragonfly would change the outcome for you. It did not for me. Regardless, it's a nice "add on" for laptop/headphone listening and does improve the sound. At $100 for the latest version of the black and 30 day r... | |
| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo @harold-not-the-barrel ...but can I tell you by the way you walk? A fan of Genesis and Yes for decades now. I hold Steve Howe in high regard. As good as the "guitar gods" (that trinity mentioned by Shadorne) in my opinion - maybe better. Wider ran... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Steve Smith & Vital Information, "Come On In"Gary Willis, "Bent" | |
| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo What a great thread to resurrect, Harold. Well done.There are many that deserve mention, no doubt. I’d like to submit one I suspect is generally overlooked:Frank Zappa’s solo (starting at 3:20) on Track 6 of Burnt Weeny Sandwich, "Holiday in Berli... | |
| On mid-fi do you hear much difference between Tidal and Spotify Thanks, Portland. You reminded me and now that you mention it I do recall downloading Tidal back when I first trialled it. At that time, I was streaming Spotify & Tidal and playing ALAC ripped CDs via USB out of the MacBook. Got rid of Tid... | |
| 10" subwoofer around $500, used or new? I’m very happy with a pair of SVS SB1000. A sealed design with cabinet under 14x14x14". The driver is 12 inch. As Bob Reynolds mentioned, the SB1000 allows for speaker level or line level hook up. It also has continuously variable adjustments for ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman...just dropped by. Haven’t read any of the preceding but did listen to the first couple tracks of that Wes Montgomery "Twisted Blues" clip you linked. Very nice. Might have to look for that as a recording. THANKSBTW (for Rok’s sartorial e... | |
| On mid-fi do you hear much difference between Tidal and Spotify @glennewdick"I do not think you need google chrome to get the full bandwidth for tidal ...."I'm merely reporting what pops up on my MacBook when I use Safari to log into my Tidal subscription account and click on HiFi in the lower right.

| On mid-fi do you hear much difference between Tidal and Spotify Be sure to check the manner of your Tidal access. Tidal HiFi (the highest quality streaming service they provide) requires access via Google Chrome. The HiFi letters seen lower right when on-line with Tidal will NOT be highlighted if you are NOT a... | |
| Are you using DH Labs? @thiefoflight - not that broad a base for comparison but, perhaps most tellingly, I do use it in preference to the (at one time) well-regarded Stereovox XV-2 digital cable. Compared to the XV-2, I think the D-750 is a little fuller bodied and more... | |
| Are you using DH Labs? DH Labs Silver Sonic D-750 Digital Cable (from MF V-Link 192 to Gungnir DAC) | |

| Whats playing on your system today? @reubent - "Tuned in" Rado Paradise for a little bit last night. Immediately hearing some different stuff (e.g., Shearwater) and not the same tired old classic rock. You are right about Bill G having a great voice for radio. Thanks again for t... |
