Any other Agon Love for UFO?
Thanks for the reminder...Will have to revisit the UFO albums I bought during some rather ‘hazy” times that are mostly lost to my memory.  I know I’ve got copies of “Force It” and “Obsession” somewhere as well as the live album which were all car-... 
What is your favorite ''slow dance'' song of all time?
“Swayin’ to the Music” by Johnny Rivers 
Jaw Dropping Improvement?
Thanks, jjss49...good points for me to contemplate!I’d like the music I listen to to be as clear and as in-focus as possible within the capabilities of my integrated amp and speakers.  If I can compare to optics, I want to be looking at things thr... 
Artists you feel you can rely on, buy any new album unheard.
Dire Straits  
Jaw Dropping Improvement?
Thanks, Jazzman.  I’m running the Node 2i into a PrimaLuna Prologue Classic integrated w/stock preamp section tubes and Gold Lion KT77 power tubes out to JBL L 65s.  Speaker cables are Home Depot “thick”...lol...and just switched the supplied inte... 
TIDAL on SALE!
Jumped on this offer when I saw it mentioned here this morning in this thread.  Would’ve held out for Qobuz (tight budget these days!) but just got a Node 2i last week and couldn’t pass this up at this price.Really enjoying it!! 
Blue node 2i vs other devices
I just got a Node 2i day before yesterday and can address your concerns about Spotify (free version) but not Tidal as I have no experience with it.  The free version of Spotify appears only “streamable” via a slight workaround using the Node 2i’s ... 
Interconnect Suggestions?
Apologies...Just noticed a near identical and recent thread and I don’t know how to delete this one. 
Any Good Holiday Specials on DACs?
@rsf507......Just for sake of discussion, how about 15% or better? 
APPLE TV+ 4k
I wish the Apple TV App Store would hurry up and carry TuneIn Radio but, hey, I can stream it from my iPhone.  Other than that, no complaints here about the two 4Ks we bought this past year... 
"The War on Drugs" create music from a "cacophony sound" of reverb, echo plex, etc,
I’ve only listened to “Pain” and another one or two tracks by this band and my thoughts are similar....IMO, (and I am neither a musician nor a recording technician) the group has some real artistic prowess going that allows them to trample all ove... 
Do you, or did you, have Audiophile buddies that you shared music, gear, times with?
Had a friend who’d lived next door since I was 6 yrs old in the old neighborhood...He was very much like a little brother and neither one of us grew up to be anything remotely approaching rich but we were both into above-our-means audio and had bo... 
Why is there no love for Prima Luna?
Very happy owner of a PL Prologue Classic integrated for close to 2 yrs now.  It’s driving 42 yr old JBLs (L65s) and probably the perfect tube amp for me given my budget and disinclination to fiddle with adjustments.  Previously, my L 65s were pow... 
My "audiophile" weakness(es)...ie: how the item looks, and you?.
Looks no doubt play into it...I like a certain degree of “no nonsense functional” appearance but there’s a balance.  I’ve gone with a PrimaLuna integrated over something with lights and meters and that look (in addition to wanting to try out tubes... 
What are your thoughts on the "Edsels" of the audio history?
The Terk “pi”, fm antenna was such an Edsel IMO. It may have performed well right in the middle of big cities...I wouldn’t know as I lived 30-ish miles out and got much better use out of a big TV type aerial on my apartment ceiling. To the best of...
