Tidal v. Qobuz -- a different perspective
@mojo771 Not sure where you got that impression of Qobuz.  When I search for an artist, the first section I see is their "most popular tracks". The list is greatly expandable in case the song you are looking for isn't in the top 6-8. Depending up... 
How competitive are you with your system?
@bjesien  Great satire...sounded like the orange one, on any subject 😄 My system is the best system ever. We’re talking tone like you wouldn’t believe. Texture is off the charts.  Soundstage? So wide it makes your living room feel like Madison ...

Here are some off-the-beaten track favorites of mine: Dada: Puzzle Toy Matinee: Toy Matinee Morphine: Cure For Pain The Golden Palominos:  Pure Box Scaggs: Dig (bought it for one song... Thought other's were odd. A year later I really like al...

@mitch2 +1 @dill +1 One wonders why you got a hair-trigger, angry reply from OP.   
Bluesound node confusion
The 2i had better SQ than the 2 The n130 supposedly improved SQ a little, but it also introduced an HDMI input. The n132 offers slightly better DAC, HDMI and DIRAC live support and they changed the headphones jack from 3.5 mm to ¼ inch. I have ... 
Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday
@Drmuso, Qobuz connect is meant to function like Title Connect and Spotify Connect.  You currently use your iPhone to access the BlueOS app on your streamer. BlueOS has a watered-down version of Qobuz on it that will give you limited functionalit... 
Anybody ever dealt with Safe and Sound audio
I got my first BlueSound Node from them about 5 years ago. It was "open box". It was perfect, like new, but at considerable savings. They were great to deal with.  
Most recent concert
NIN at Starlight Theatre (outdoors) in Kansas City about 6 years ago.  Jane's Addiction opened for them.  
Potential relief for tinnitus?
Seems like tinnitus "miracle cures"  are second only to ED cures.  I hope some progress is made in my lifetime... Getting tired of all the cicadas that follow me around   
a rant
@kennymac  My story is similar  4 years ago at 65, I stopped the chase after 45+ years, got a nice integrated amp and some good stand-mounted speakers. I kept my tt, streamer & CD transport. I kept about 300 albums and 100 or so CDs since n...

All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what?
PS audio introduced the "Strada", a streamer/integrated amp in 2000. I didn’t hear any praise for it and it’s buggy software. But now they’ve introduced the Mk 2 version of it. They’ve had 5 years to polish the Strada. It's relatively high powe... 
Bose buys McIntosh
Watch for McIntosh stereo systems in Nissan maximas and Toyota RAV4s.... Won't be long. 🤮🫤
