Qobuz vs. Tidal
I've tried to get help from Qoboz and can't get a response. Many users of Qobuz have indicated their CS leaves a lot to be desired.  Qobuz needs no customer service.  Given the choice between Qobuz charging all customers another $2 a month t...

AE SP12 or Zavfino Nova OCC?
I have heard nothing but praise for the Prima's. I imagine you would have to spend quite a bit more to get something that exceeds them, and they will only get better sounding as time goes on.  Curious though, you say non-refundable? I thought the... 
Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming?
like others have said in this thread, I think it must be a power issue as opposed to network. That is where I was headed. I haven't had any comments regarding my comment on ev's, so let me elaborate. Where @nyev and I live in BC there is zero i... 
Cable Break In for the Naysayers
Whenever i hear about a degree in X, Y, or Z in engineering or science…i wonder what they have contributed lately to understanding paired photons, the existence of a singularity in a rotating black hole, or even error correction in a quantum comp...
