Interesting that the best SQ is on Blu-Ray and DVD. I only have Redbook and streaming.     The Cure Anniversary   (Smith’s voice & guitar sound amazing)       Depeche    101       The Mission UK    Live at Shepherd’s Bush      ...

@shtinkydog  I just had a listen to the original and it is Horrible. Sounds like a bootleg.     What live album do you like best in terms of SQ + performance?

Thanks. Quality of the original release is pretty blah.

@shtinkydog  Is this a 2 disc release? Or is it a remaster of the 1992. There's no Paris Live remaster on Qobuz yet.  
Yello - Reel to Reel
Sorry, I tried to link to Yello on DR Database, but had problems. The average DR on Stella is 8 although is still worth listening to.  
Yello - Reel to Reel
The 2005 "Stella" CD remaster is highly compressed, as is the download. It would be great if their catalogue was remastered with SQ as a priority.

Original German pressing must sound excellent. So would a 15 ips dub from the 30 ips master, that’s what I’d like to hear. I’m currently listening to a 2005 remaster on Qobuz. The tipped-up highs are giving me a headache.                
Bootleg bust
That guy who works in a record store didn’t even know who Neil Young is. So cool that Neil was making the rounds to find bootlegs. I love that crazy bastard. Awesome YouTube find.  
Footers Under Power Conditioners?
@markush I didn’t try them. Once i discovered EVP footers from AV Roomservice, I’ve added these to my components. They’re not cheap, $120 apiece. So I cheaped-out and put Herbies Tall Tenderfeet under my 2-box PC.

Yes, +1 @bigtwin

Typically, digital sources have higher output gain than that of a TT/phonostage. So when wired to a preamp, the TT's lower gain means you need to turn the volume control higher than digital sources.  
Sunfire Amp
Sunfire 300~two is 2nd generation and uses an IEC inlet with removable cable. The 300s do not have power buttons. The Sunfire 600 uses a detachable PC, no power button. Sunfire Signature 300 & 600 use an IEC. These are later generations and ... 
Linear Power Supply for a DAC
Could end up with lots of boxes and fat cables on my rack, but I am dedicated to having zero switching supplies in my system.  So much for all that effort on the part of manufacturers to be energy efficient... Same here. I've been thinking abou... 
Linear Power Supply for a DAC
@mclinnguy  I saw the C7 from Audio Sensibility, but went with a Canare DC cable only for the lower cost. I use AS Statement PCs in my system and they are outstanding as far as improved sound, not to mention the build quality. I prefer their perf... 
Linear Power Supply for a DAC
Hi @knownothing  I'm using the Swagman SE on a reclocker in my digital chain. I have the iFi SPDIF iPurifier and it's inline with my Node 2i. This iFi device with the stock wall wart provided very little improvement removing jitter and noise. I e...
