| Servers: Are we there yet? In the latest issue of Stereophile, Mike L. raved about the Melco server and preferred it to the Antipodes DS. Sounds like very good value, sound- and price-wise. | |
| Tidal vs. Spotify Ghosthouse, thanks for the heads up. Will check it out.The Jazz for Autumn playlist is what I have been listening to for my recent experiment.It's interesting that Spotify does indeed sound like redbook quality. | |
| Tidal vs. Spotify Tried both and it was no contest. Inputting the native Spotify signal to the dac followed by upsampling wins hands down. Guess Windows was doing a hack job of digital upscaling. :) | |

| Krell KAV 300i Problem I agree it's broken and it needs to be fixed. The hum as you describe is not normal. I used to own the KAV 300i for several years and not once did it have any hum. | |
| Latest Absolute Sound I guess it's all relative. I got lucky with The Music speakers at 33k. Could still be chasing the rainbow with much higher priced models from other makes. Loks like I am done forever with The Music.:) | |
| Is high end audio to snooty for its own good? " ....... and we all can enjoy each other's systems. Listening is fun and relaxing. I don't do it to impress anyone."+1, Calvinj. | |
