| What is the most common cause of dropouts when streaming Tidal? My guess is that it’s your ISP. I have a Bluesound Node 2 and Comcast internet. Their download speed is 100mbps. I stream Tidal HiFi and MQA over WiFi and rarely experience a dropout. They do happen, though. | |

| Crazy to buy a 17 year old CD Player? jds, I don't consider the Oppo 105 to be an example of very good digital sound these days. It's OK for what it is, a $1,500 universal player, but there are much better cd players available. | |

| Preamp 6922 tube help Jim, You're right about the boxes. I think the seller is trying to fool somebody with the boxes and the way he took the picture. You can see they’re shiny shields but only if you look at them closely. For the price he’s asking, those should defi... | |
| Preamp 6922 tube help thewatcher, I think you're going to have to talk about your system and the sound you want with the various tube sellers recommended and buy from the one who convinces you he's got what you need. Tubes will sound different in different gear and I... | |

| Preamp 6922 tube help jea48, i think you made a mistake on those grey plate Siemens CCas. If you take a closer look, those are the silver plates or shields. You can see on the nearer tube where the shield is pinched (below the final s in Siemens) that it is clearly a... | |
| Journey ending speakers analogluvr, " All these so-called advances in materials are mostly bunk. A good old paper driver is still king for musicality."What you forgot to add is, "For me..."I just can't understand why some people, and they are mostly analog lovers, thi... | |

| 16 bit is good enough..... CDs and players have improved a great deal in recent years, but I think they’re still in their infancy. I expect digital sound to continue to improve for a long time to come. | |

| What are your top 5 (digital music) songs? Well, I’m away from my cd collection right now and I don’t usually keep track of which songs sound best, but I can suggest a few cds that most people may not have heard that I like and think sound good.Allison Moorer - The Hardest Part(Warning! Th... | |
| 2017 amps - $10K to $15K who is on your short list? OK bo1972, we get it. You are listening on a higher plane of audio than we are. No, audio is the wrong word, a higher plane of music and emotion. You don’t need to explain that to us anymore. Tell us who you are, what Tru-Fi is and where we can he... |
