Qobuz vs Tidal
After originally posting this thread three years ago I still have both Tidal and Qobuz.  I do prefer Qobuz for overall sound quality but there really is not that much of a difference.  Sometimes, an artist is not available on Q so then I use Tidal...

@charles1dad  LOL on the WBF comment.  I find WBF members have been very helpful in my audio journey.  Yes, I will try and provide feedback on the differences between Kassandra and Horizon but I will probably do it on WBF.  I am not big on all of...

+1 on the test of vinyl vs digital.  I have read so many threads saying Vinyl can not be matched.  I can't really say as I have not had vinyl for over 20 years.  What I do know is having a great DAC and Music Server can create some unbelievable-so...

@audiotronics  So you really have a problem with the distributor of Aries Cerat vs Aries Cerat components.  Have you heard Aries Cerat components?  In the last 5 years, I have done a lot of buying and selling components.  Aries Cerat is not well ...

@tonywinga  Congrats on the new music server.  Antipodes is definitely a great server.  I can tell you from my experience that a great DAC and Music server is critical for absolutely the best SQ.  When I had a Lampizator Pacific DAC after having ... 
Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K
@atmasphere  I will gladly take a listen to the King Crimson album.  King Crimson in general is a very different type of rock similar to Pink Floyd.   I have been  a fan of King Crimson. If I were to just listen to rock.....Van Halen, Bob Seger,... 
Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K
I find listening to rock vs jazz, instrumentals or classical are totally different.  With Rock I am listening to guitars, drums, and maybe a piano.  I am listening to the overall beat and vibe.   Rock and roll recordings are meant for dynamic spea...

Charles I know to a degree you have followed my audio journey going way back to SR fuses.  A lot has transpired over the last seven years.  I never would have thought I would end up buying Aries Cerat components.  i never thought I could afford t...
