Qobuz vs Tidal
@ronboco i was able to export/import my Tidal playlists, artists, and songs into Qobuz using Soundiiz.  At least I think that was the software.  It was really easy to do.  
Qobuz vs Tidal
I have both and can not tell a difference between the two.  I’ve compared many times using the same track on the same recording.  
Best Exercise To Improve Capability Of Handling Heavy Amps
If you’re seriously asking this question then squats, dead-lifts, core exercises, bicep curls, pushups.  If you’re going to the gym ask a trainer or hire one for a couple of sessions and ask.  He/she can show you the correct exercises and form.  D... 
Help trouble shooting sub hum
Your system profile says you have L12 subs.  From what I can tell from the Rhythmik website, they do not have high level inputs, which is how you’ve tried to connect them.  You need a low level output from your amplifier/integrated into the low le... 
A great singer you may have never heard, or even heard of.
Never heard of this band before.  I just listened to a couple of tracks off of Cabretta and it’s good.  Has an Elvis Costello vibe to it.  Or maybe Costello has a Mink Deville vibe 😀.  
At the top of the line is it really all that different?
Some very thoughtful answers here, but imho I think you likely already know the answer to your question.  You’ve listened to some outstanding and expensive gear and in your room and to your ears you hear very little difference.  I say trust your e... 
current and ex-Sonus faber & McIntosh integrated amp (combo) owners - question for you

What happened to Mytek?
Asking a question is nowhere near starting a rumor.  Anyone who reads the OP and thinks he’s stating that something happened to Mytek needs to work on reading comprehension.  
Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option?
@ghdprentice @yogiboy doesn’t the I-50 require a technician to bias the unit when tubes are replaced?  I was seriously interested in this integrated as a first foray into tubes but this was the main reason I shelved the idea.  Maybe it’s not a big...

Best audio prank ideas
I know it’s all in good fun but messing with a man’s audio system is like messing with his car, it’s just not done.  I suppose it’s true for women as well who pursue those interests.  
Listening
My setup is in a dedicated listening room (with a nook dedicated to work desk).  I have music on all day pretty much everyday as soon as I am up.  When I’m done working or it’s the weekend it’s in the chair in the sweet spot for critical listening... 
Is it the gear or the ears?
That was good, thanks for that I quite enjoyed it.  
Who is Roon?
@devinplombier it did cross my mind that you might have been sarcastic.  Unfortunately it’s tough sometimes to make that clear.  Sorry about that!
