Hi all: Tonight I did a little experiment, and compared a CD to Tidal app to Tidal via Roon. I used an old favorite jazz CD for the comparison. My CD player also doubles as a DAC, so I used the USB Output from my Samsung laptop into the cd player for Tidal and Roon. So, in essence, the...

Greeting all: Curious how many of you are using Tidal via its native interface vs Roon or some 3rd party integrator. My interest is solely sound quality: I'm using my laptop, which is feeding Tidal to my CD player (which can also be used as a separate DAC), over to my amp and speakers.

I assume that my MQA ask was fair...... I was going to ask for solar power as well, but I was afraid that some of you might find it unfair and over the top. But, since the VU meters that you suggest are on the cycle plan, then yes, solar panels please. and a Tesla wireless adapter.

all greatness here! One question: Is it fair to assume that Modi 3 will support MQA?

Wow.....    Haven't logged on in a few years. Unreal to see what has happened here. i now know what NOT to do if my PPX takes a dump. Also realize that it has very little resale value.   But worse, very sorry to see how many of you lost money. That truly sucks.  

Technicians be ready.

Todd, I did an inventory and sent you the list. Let me know what you think about this stuff. None of it has been played since 1990.

Hi folks. I am looking for tips for selling an LP collection that I just haven't uncorked in about 20 years. All sorts of interesting stuff in there. Examples: Audiophile pressings from Mobile Fidelity (In think an UHQR of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon); import pressings (The Wall...

I've come across a stash of GE-built 6GU7 tubes (branded as Amperex). Any words to the wise on this one? Thx!

Really? Damn! I better get out there!

Yep, today a friend gave me back my Grado HP-2 phones. I traded it to him over 10 years ago for a PS Audio pre-amp. In fact, I didn't even remember selling the Grados to him until last summer, when I mentioned that I was looking for a pair. He decided to give them to me because he rarely used...
