| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES I use Roon and Innous Sense as my music front ends. Regardless of front end, I find Qobuz better sounding than Tidal in general, but not by much. Using a PS Audio DSD DAC, I find little difference between Qobuz HiRes and Tidal MQA. I listen to T... | |
| What do you use to keep high gloss speakers clean? +1 McGuire's Quick Detail I use a microfiber cloth to wipe down the speakers. On another note, I do the same on our high-gloss bedroom furniture and the wood trim in our cars. | |
| Bascom H. King Passed Sad to hear about his passing. Like others, I am really happy to own and thoroughly enjoy his BHK reference pre amp and BHK250 amp. My prayers go out to his family and friends. | |

| Better R2R DAC Recommendation? AudioMirror is an excellent R2R DAC. | |
| Bill Withers has passed He was a gifted artist. I have most of his original albums and still listen to them on occasion. My favorite song is "Grandma's Hands" because it always brings back fond memories of my grandmother. I hated it when he stopped making music, but ... | |

| How to properly stream TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer, et cetera? OP, in the end, what you hear is based on your total system and the synergy between those components. The type and nature of every component in your system matters. Budget aside, the components you select should depend on the type of music you li... | |
| Replace inner sleeves on used records? After cleaning an album with my record cleaning machine, I always replace plain paper sleeves with Mobile Fidelity sleeves. Some of my album sleeves come with white paper outer material and Mobile Fidelity like inner material. Those I keep. The... |
