| 180 gram vinyl vs First Pressing used Yes. There are a lot of defects in the vinyl being manufactured today. They're coming from the record pressing plants that have emerged since the vinyl resurgence. | |
| TuneIn classical streaming through node 2i I don't think there is a default stream on Bluesound.Does anyone have to plug and unplug bluetooth devices over and over again to connect? Also, my node crashes when I select a different stream- anyone else have this issue. No, never. Are you usin... | |

| Anyone ordered from Herbie's Audio Lab lately? I ordered from them a couple of times in 2019. His son, Robert is running the business.Instead of email, try using the Contact Form. | |
| CD vs Streaming I play CDs and also stream. IMO, the only downside with streaming as far as SQ is that we are at the mercy of the streaming service which digital version is offered. Recent remasters are what is mostly found in the streaming libraries. In the rock... | |
| Anyone done A / B listening to compare vintage stereo receivers with today’s Amps/Preamps? @echolane, glad to hear about the improvement. It must be like spending time with an old friend.And I remember back in the day using contact cleaner on my Japanese receivers. | |
| Insurance values Thanks @testpilot . I’ll contact my insurance agent again and make it clear that these are certified rare coins.It would be devastating to only receive $20 face value for a double eagle coin valued at $5000. | |

Tidal, Qobuz, etc. would need to lease a data center which may be a building full of servers or a huge campus with multiple buildings.These facilities may have clients such as internet companies and government transfering data at the same time. | |
| Ebay sellers switching tubes There are a few reliable sellers on Ebay. They all have something in common; thousands of sales and 100% feedback. I'll stick with Andy at Vintage Tube Services. Every tube I've purchased has been top quality. (And he even takes returns). | |
| Exotic vocal Excellent song and Ofra's voice sounds beautiful. I don't much like her singing in English, but that's how record companies make money. | |
| Looking for recommendations for a 'warm' sounding DAC Yes @charles1dad , I was thinking the same thing; a 2.1 or 3.1 Audio Note. Based on the OP's price quote £2500, he may be in the UK. There should be a selection of AN DACs on the used market, not to mention many more dealers than here in the US. |
