Yeah, but you've got to admit, the B Side was pretty good...!

Cassette is for posers

I wish there was a filter option on this blog so I could filter out any post that contains the letter BBQ.

Three thumbs up!

I was considering getting Qobuz or Tidal for it's integration with Roon, which I love for my local files... I didn't realize that everything was merged. I guess I'll just stick with Spotify for streaming and discovering new stuff, since that has no integration with Roon at all. Then buy the stuff I really like on CD or lossless download as I've been doing.

You can try Roon for free.

I have Roon lifetime. I was sold on that after the free trial years ago. I had just never integrated the streaming services with it, since I also have a Spotify family plan. But if Roon melds all of Qobuz/Tidal with your local stuff, I’m more likely to just stick with Spotify.
Same reason I stayed with Spotify rather than doing Apple Music some years back. Apple muffed the integration of stuff you owned with the subscription content

I wonder if somewhere, there's a BBQ forum where all the members are bantering about stereo gear?

Way back when, Calvin Trillin wrote lyrically about food in general and BBQ in particular. Three books collected as The Tummy Trilogy. Worth a scan while we wait for Jason's next chapter.

But TX barbeque has no taste, therefore a lack of taste is logically irrelevant.

Can someone with no taste judge whether something has taste or not?

I've done this several times and it actually works quite nicely. If you redirect the package to Walgreens prior to the delivery date, it's likely there won't even be any delay. Works like a dream for spousal subterfuge as well, at least from what I've read from others.

So that's how you get TX barbeque into your house without your wife knowing about it (otherwise, you'd have to share).

The best barbeque I have ever enjoyed was in Montevideo, Uruguay.

Here's an (old) article to help stoke the State VS State fire:

Money people pretending to know about food? (yes, I saw Business Insider (re)published an article) Wow, even included a New England establishment (and one from NY?). I wonder if he really had the lobster and ketchup but posted a photo he got over the internet?

Here's a way to filter displayed Roon content based on pretty much anything including filtering out Tidal

Only if they have intellectual, multi-dimensional renaissance people like we do here.

There's a few u-toob clips about a guy who built fake packages to prank porch pirates. They're a good watch, as his other videos. There's three so far. V2 is below, V1 and the latest I'm sure you can find.

This is hilarious: https://www.facebook.com/CanadawideEvent/videos/239416704265307/

I don't know why people keep claiming everything is merged. I browse Roon via the Android app on my phone, and listen via a Ropieee connected to a Jot 1 (still waiting for my Bifrost 2 and Jot 2 to ship). The Android app clearly separates the music from my Library and music from Qobuz. If, for example, I search for Cat Stevens, I first see a section that shows the albums that are in my collection. If I scroll further down, there's a completely separate Qobuz section. The Qobuz section even has a completely different background color to help delineate between your Music and Qobuz music. Also, album covers will have a little Qobuz logo on them if they're from Qobuz, as someone else pointed out a little earlier in this post.

Perhaps it's different on the iOS app or the clients on macOS or Windows, but I'm not running those clients so I can't be sure. I was going to share a couple screenshots, but I don't see a way to upload files to the thread. I only appear to be able to provide a link, and don't really have the desire to upload the screenshots anywhere other than this thread. So, perhaps just test it out on your own to confirm...

Perhaps I should have clarified.

Audirvana has a tab, for want of a better word, that shows my entire collection; and a tab to navigate Tidal. I missed this in Roon, as I could not see my entire collection in one place. I like to be able to keep track by looking at the album covers, rather browsing an endless waste of folders.

Colorado peaches are better than Georgia peaches.

That might be true but what about those Seinfeld peaches!?!

Got my balanced headphone cable today and Jot 2 should arrive on Monday. Still waiting for new interconnects, hopefully they arrive soon, too.

A real Fin has Genelacs!

Can someone with no taste judge whether something has taste or not?

A valid question, but how else would you be able to guarantee plausible impartiality?
