| Spotify,Tidal,Qobuz ??? My experience with Tidal (Android app) is they show the album cover, no other info and they have a much larger rock selection than Qobuz. Hi-res streaming using MQA is $20 a month. All albums are not available in hi-res but all are available in a... | |
| A trend I've noticed in ads. On the Audiogon grading scale, "New" means sealed from the factory. Never opened. That seems simple enough to understand."10/10" means less than a year old with NO signs of use or wear. It shouldn't be that hard to determine if your gear fits t... | |
| CDs Vs LPs Ralph, I don’t want to have this discussion. That’s why in my first post I said: The CD vs LP debate is about preference, not who’s right or wrong. I hope we can get past that old argument someday. Both formats are capable of very good and very ba... | |
| CDs Vs LPs OK Ralph, you're right. There's no such thing as a not very well built or poorly set up turntable or cartridge, no damaged vinyl, no dirty records, no off center spindle holes, no poorly recorded LPs.Everything in vinyl land is just as good as i... | |
| CDs Vs LPs This is why digital still sounds bright, even when used with a super high end DAC. You need to add "to me" or "to vinyl afficianados" to make this statement correct. To anyone with a decent system, digital no longer has to sound bright. I str... | |
| Rodney Crowell Slaw, I assume you were addressing me. With a streaming service you can listen to an album before you buy it, avoiding the disappointment you felt in this case. Also, you can explore many albums you would never buy without hearing them first and d... | |
| Rodney Crowell This is the reason why streaming services are a good idea. | |
| How much? Turn off the TV and listen to some music. It's good for you. | |
| I'm still mystified... No that’s not what they are doing. The people upset with sellers who add Paypal fees in their Audiogon ads but do not apply this reasoning to other products and services they purchase are using poor judgement about what is important and what is no... | |
| I'm still mystified... I have NEVER seen this kind of "hidden fee" or "extra fee" behavior in the industry with audio electronic equipment. Saying "sales tax" is part of this thing is not a good example because you have sales tax with any item purchase you make locall... | |
| I'm still mystified... glupson, so let me get this straight, you don't mind making 1,000 posts of questionable value bickering with geoff, but you won't deal with someone who adds Paypal fees to his asking price?What do you call what you and geoff do, if not playing games? | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. +1 on the goosebumps, blueranger! | |
| I'm still mystified... Sellers like to have the asking price as low as they can to attract buyer attention and further down the ad add the additional fees that are part of the transaction. This is not unusual because there are few things that you can buy without paying ... | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. I have to agree with blueranger. Jimi's cover of All Along the Watchtower is one of the all-time great covers. | |
| A song murdered by someone. The Platters:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UskkwKmccGU Sam Cooke:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV8XwoIGo5M While I enjoy The Platters and love Sam Cooke, I have to say that Bobby Hatfield outsings them both without overdoing it (as is the curr... |
