Are CD players goig the way of the 8 track,and the cassette?
Considering that there are hundreds of working 8 track players available on ebay right now,  some listed as new, I think that we will all be able to buy cd players for as long as we live. 
Found something worth trying on Qobuz
Nice album.  A little different from what I usually listen to.  You might enjoy, "Songs I Can't Live Without" by Marshall Chapman.  It's what I would call roots rock but atmospheric like Meryem.  Big difference in the voices.  Marshall's is a bit ... 
To all PS Audio BHK preamp owners *** must read ***
Hi Scot, I just wanted to let you know that I tried setting the bias to 5mv with my Amperex 7316 tubes. I didn’t notice a big change in the sound. However, I am probably one of the worst people for this experiment. I have really bad aural memory a...

Tubes used in VTL 6.5 II preamp?
I haven’t heard the VTL, but if you decide to try NOS tubes, I really like the Amperex 7316. It’s a variant of the 12AU7. 
OPPO 105 as a streaming source/transport only
Generally, a wired connection is preferred to wifi. But if you’re not having problems with dropouts, etc. I’m not sure wiring would give you a major boost. Play a CD through your DAC and then the same album from Tidal through your DAC.  The stream... 
Blusound app for Windows, upgrade issues
I think you mean NAD C658. I checked the Windows app store and a search didn’t turn up any streaming apps for NAD. I use the BluOS app for Android devices and it rarely even has a hiccup. I understand it works very well with Apple devices too. So ... 
Good Streamer with WiFi Connectivity
The Bluesound Node 2i is a low cost streamer that does wifi.  Some say that more expensive streamers sound better.  The app that controls it (BluOs) is really good on both Apple or Android devices.  If you are going to be using an Android device a...

Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes
shkong78, Thanks for giving us the results of your shoot out.  It's a lot of work to gather and listen to all those tubes in your system.Aside from which tubes are among the best, I take away a couple of points.  First, the law of diminishing retu... 
If you had to start all over again in this day and age
A streamer gets your music from your wifi router (modem) to your DAC or you can combine both functions in a streamer/DAC. You can connect to your wifi router wirelessly (wifi) or wired (ethernet cable, i.e. Cat 6, Cat 7, etc.).Digital inputs and o...
