It does.

Great, thanks Jafant.  We'll see whether the Spot's got those titles. 
Silverline Speaker Opinion
Have passed through the hundred hour mark on the Prelude Pluses and well on the way to 200 hrs.  Finally hooked them up to the tube gear I had bought them to use with (78 wpc EL34 mono blocks; 6H30 & EZ80 rectifier pre-amp). I am no longer th...

Jafant - but WHAT by Sanders?  Tried listening to him way back (live recording...maybe with Coltrane??).  It just seemed like noise to me.  Not dismissing him all together...maybe there are some things by him that are more "accessible".  Curious w... 
Tidal vs. Spotify
Glad you got an improvement, Jon.  Check out The Antisocial Club when you get a chance.  Maybe you will like it. 
Tidal vs. Spotify
Hi Jon - I wasn't trying to one-up your method with my comments...The Gungnir doesn't have a USB input so I have to use the MF USB/SPDIF adapter and that's what is doing the upsampling.  Mainly wrote in response to your positive comments about Spo... 
Good looking Towers for < $2000?
Have passed through the hundred hour mark on the Prelude Pluses.  Finally hooked them up to the tube gear I had bought them to use with (78 wpc EL34 mono blocks; 6H30 & EZ80 rectifier pre-amp).  I am no longer thinking I need to get a sub.  Lo... 
Tidal vs. Spotify
jon2020 - I find the sound from Spotify very good too.  I'm using a split USB cable (separate signal and power legs) from MAC to a Musical Fidelity 192 USB/spdif converter that also upconverts to 24/192; from the MF192 via Stereovox coax to a Gung... 
Best speakers for Pink Floyd?
Though I often don't, in this case I do agree with Inna...any good, full range (+ don't forget the amplification and wires, and source and format,  etc., etc., etc.). 
Tidal vs. Spotify
kacz - I've been a Spotify Premium subscriber for months and months now.  To me, the best $10 per month subscription ever.  I've not noticed any variation in quality of their stream based on time of day.  I have noticed that not all the available ... 
Good looking Towers for < $2000?
Albireo13 - Take a look at and, if possible, give a listen to a pair of Silverline Audio Prelude Plus speakers.  They look very nice with rosewood veneer and slim design.  Even with grills on they are pretty attractive.  They also have excellent s... 
morrow ma1 interconnect
Noisebilly - Your MA 1 interconnects review would be more helpful if you listed the equipment you were using with them.  Satisfaction with cabling of all sorts is system dependent.  Because you weren't happy with the MA-1s doesn't mean they won't ... 
I am really disappointed with the hip-hop enthusiasts on Audiogon
Herndonb - I’ll second you on Outkast’s Mrs. Jackson. Digable Planets is worth checking out too. I’m really not that much of rap or hip hop fan and don’t know Blowfly but I do think an argument can be made for Gil Scott Heron as well as The Last P... 
No bass with new turntable?
Wetfeet - What are the chances of trying another cart and seeing if bass response improves? Am thinking to borrow something or buy an inexpensive cart like a Grado Black or a Shure.  Yes, kind of a pain redoing the set up but could eliminate a lot...

Dave Rawlings Machine - "Nashville Obsolete". Just discovered him/them this evening...which is to say Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings. Yup, only 15 years or so late to that party. Oh well...better late than never. Their music helping this day en...
