What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To?
I'm going with "Your Song"  Elton John I'm a little surprised was only mentioned once. 
So done with audiophile fuses
@invalidYeah, I wasn’t questioning your point on the insurance claims. I was more concerned with the safety aspect of using a fuse with a higher rating. Either to protect the equipment itself or preventing a possible fire.Just not a good idea. As ... 
So done with audiophile fuses
All I know is that if I payed over $50 for a fuse you could bet that I would hear a difference. More than likely only because I paid too much for a FUSE!Whenever a tube blew in my old Rogue Model 88 Magnum tube amp one of the fuses for that channe... 
GR Research Power Cables
Yes, now I can see the Furutech stamp on the connector.  I also went to the Furutech website and looked up that particular connector and there was a clear Caution at the bottom of the page to beware of counterfeits being sold on ebay, Amazon and s... 
GR Research Power Cables
I went to the GR Research website and looked at the B16 power cable.From the picture it looks like the connectors on that are the same cheap Chinese makes I bought off ebay a couple years ago.  The prongs or blades looked like they were sprayed wi... 
Amazon Music and Bluesound Node 2i
@ mrklas Now see, this was what I was getting at.  I've Googled this and came to a previous discussion at least a year ago on this particular forum and people complained about the same thing.  I thought that maybe since that time the interface be... 
Amazon Music and Bluesound Node 2i
I will try and reword my original post.  Has anyone used both Amazon Music and Tidal with the Bluesound Node 2i mobile app?If so, which is easier and more convenient to use with the BS app?  When you are sitting in front of your system with nothin... 
Amazon Music and Bluesound Node 2i
@toro3 Tidal is not what I was having the problem with.  Tidal works pretty good with the BluOs app.  Although I'll try using Tidal connect to see if that works even better.My problem using  Amazon HD streaming with the Bluesound app on my phone. ...

If you're using Amazon HD, can you create a playlist on your phone using the Bluesound app? 
Amazon Music and Bluesound Node 2i
Also, my understanding is that you have to go to the Amazon Music app to create your own playlist where as with Tidal you can do it on the Blusound app.

Are you guys using the app on your phones to control the Node 2?  From my phone yes, I can search an album on Amazon but if I play one of their playlists, no queue shows up like on Tidal.  I have no idea what the next song or artist will be. 
Amazon Music and Bluesound Node 2i
Well, I guess I can't do anything about the BluOS but I'll have to decide what streaming service I want to keep.  Is Tidal worth keeping due to it's better integration with the Bluesound App?Or is it better to go with what simply sounds the best a... 
SQ vs. Music
I get a weekly Audiogon Discussion email and occasionally look at the topics. I used to be a regular on Audio Asylum years ago. Specifically, vinyl asylum.There’s good advice to be had on some of these forums but imo reading them too much can resu... 
Can flexible power cables sound good?
Need to give the black electrical tape a try as well. 
Can flexible power cables sound good?
My Signal Cable power cord wants to droop a little in the back of my Jolida Fusion 3502P power amp.  Fortunately it sits so close to the floor that I can prop it up to a level position.  It seems like the IEC end of some cords are loose for some r...
