| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player Clear clear think,i have ave been told vinyl loses so much detail. I think CD’s sound so much detail. I like the crisp highs like cymbals. Wonder the same about tube amps. However, they do sound warm. | |
| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player I wonder why the the dealer I purchased my ARCAM suggested I purchase an expensive RCA cable to listen to CD’s played on my OPPO U203?

| How much do we at A'gon influence the industry? To Jeffkate:Please explain. Are you saying to look up any of the stereo gear at Wikipedia to see if they list it to be audiophile quality. I have never used Wikipedia so far so I must still live in the dark ages. Guess I showed my age. | |
| How much do we at A'gon influence the industry? One of the retailers in Denver cautioned me about Audiogon because he felt some of the information was not always accurate.
