STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES
I was not aware QObuz had a larger library than Tidal.  I have a BluSound Node 2i and like the layout of Tidal.  I believe Qobuzz does not have MQA.  I wonder what the resolution is for Qobuzz?    
Why do hipsters prefer analog?
I thought this was a discussion forum designed for people to learn.  I can see why some have dropped out.    
Introducing Myself
I have always wondered how do you identify members who are manufacturers or dealers.  Maybe I missed something.

Why do hipsters prefer analog?
I have not listened to a tube amp.  I would think the highs and the details would not be as pronounced as a good digital amp.  There must be a reason why audio switched from tube to digital.  Is it the nostalgia and the looks of glowing tubes.  Is... 
cheapest cable upgrade ever
Could you provide a photo?  I have no idea of what you are talking about.  
Quick USB question
I have a Node 2i and I wonder if you can really hear a distinct difference in higher cost streamers.  When I first purchased my BlueSound, they sold me a ProJect DAC.  I found the DAC made it sound thinner. So I disconnected the ProJect and the so... 
Amp's that are better sounding than a nad 3020

WTH TAS?!
I would think your ears are most important to rely on.  
FInally I have a noise issue
Maybe it is the source?  
Should Audiogon forum dealers be held to a different standard?

33rpm vs 45rpm - which is better
I wonder what sounds better.   Vinyl or Cd's?  I have always thought the reason CD's came out was to eliminate the noise from vinyl.  Also, what sounds better, a CD or Streaming?  You can stream 24/192 and a CD is 16 bit.  You would think hi-res w... 
The vanishing stereo rack
I have all my components hidden away in an entrainment cabinet.  We have a beautiful living room and we don’t want to goober it up.  The systems I have seen are ugly.  My wife would kick me out our house. Since adding a BlueSound Node 2i I no lon... 
Can anyone hear the difference when you add REL subwoofers when playing two channel
I can’t believe such an old discussion started up again.  At the time I first listened to a REL t9 matched with a pair of Vienna Acoustics Mozart speakers.  The Mozart’s already played down low and the small REL t9 was not able to be detected.  Ri...
