Tidal vs. Spotify
This maybe a stupid question, but does Tidal have "stations" you can choose like XM. Best way to discover new music, imo. I have not tried Sirius XM over internet yet, but I assume the files are compressed. 
Vandersteen 2C versus 2CI, 2CE, etc.
Hello, I just asked this in another thread but...Anybody know what upgrades were made with the 2ci and 2ce? I have read both Stereophile reviews and for the 2ci review it says that the midrange was upgraded but it does mention a tweeter upgrade. I... 
Vandersteen 2 surrounds still good after 30?
Wow, I did a search and this is the info what I was looking for (w/ the surrounds). Too add to this thread, anybody know the chronology on the midranges and tweeters for 2c/2ci/2ce?I have read the Stereophile reviews and it's still not clear. For ... 
New Pangea Audio AC-14 XL Power Cord
Anybody know what AA does with the used traded in cables?? 
Vandersteen Treo's
They are just the plain old 2C's circa 1986. I love them with the Unico SE b/c that amp has a somewhat forward/aggressive (and highly detailed)sound that brings the 2C's to life. Amazing match! I'm not sure I would like the Unico as much with the ... 
Anyone have/ordered the Job 225?
Anybody think the 225 would work with Vandersteen 2CE Sig II's or Treo's? I just read the 6moons review and I can't help wondering. 
Vandersteen Treo's
Oops, sorry about that second post. I made it before you replied. Big thanks for this information on Ayre. I'm also interested in the V-5xe. I currently use old 2C's with a Unico SE. It's a fantastic combo but getting old. The Treo's are #1 on my ... 
Vandersteen Treo's
Anybody listen to the Rogue Pharoah w/ Treo's? 
Vandersteen Treo's
CTSooner did you get to try the Rogue Pharoah with the Treos as well? I would love to hear a comparison of these two amps (Pharoah & ax7e) with the Treos or Quattros. I may just have to take another 4 hour trip down to Audio Connection. 
Which USB Cable do you like using
I recently got the RAL Dual Conduit and was pleasantly surprised by the difference over my last cable- an AG Pangea. And I don't even use a separate power supply with it yet. FWIW, it is the only high-end cable that I have tried, but it's a keeper. 
Any suggestions for a USB 2.0 PCI card?
Well I "upgraded" to a $25 Startech USB 3.0 PCIE card and the difference over the built in motherboard port was not small. Well worth it. I know all about the SOtM card but it's not in my future plans right now. I'm considering the Audiophilleo 2 ... 
Mapleshade Silclear
So you apply the stuff with the applicator and rub it off with a jewlers cloth?This is what I'm asking. It almost sounds too difficult to mess with this stuff. 
I was kidnapped by apes - DeVore Gibbon88s
I would like to hear about the Gibbon 88s vs. O/93 comparisons. I imagine they sound very different but I have no idea how. 
Mapleshade Silclear
Anybody still recommend silclear? I'm curious about how it is applied. It is it easy to get a very thing coat on rca connectors? What's the best way to clear off any excess amount? 
Foobar - The easy way to make it much better.
Thanks. That looks like a nice blog.Would you happen to know the best way to control foobar remotely from a Macbook Air? I currently have the Microsoft RDC setup but it's not working all that great. Wondering if there is a better app. Also any rec...
