Only the Yellow Racer knows the TRUTH of the Yellow Valvos.

Hands down the CD's, sounded better. Blacker background, imaging more precise, and the Soundstage was fuller.

Even doing it blind , it was very easy to dicern, between the two. It actually has me wondering if they(Tidal) really are streaming lossless. The difference is pretty substantial. With tidal , the first thing you notice is the background hiss. Regardless of PC, or OTG from my phone. With all that said. It's how my ears hear it. YMMV.

Cheers

 
Another test you could do would be to burn the Tidal downloads to CD, then compare.

 

[Guidostrunk]

I'm not sure if they'll let me do that. I'll have to check and see. I think downloads, are basically "rented. But will look into it. You got me curious now. Lol.

Sammy do you have the $9.99 Premium Tidal or the Hi-Fi $19.99 Tidal.  The expensive one supposedly streams in lossless.  The "Premium" is the same 320 stream that Spotify Premium is.
And to Tony's question, I'm not sure because I don't have Tidal but you can't burn anything off of Spotify...and from looking at the Tidal site it looks like pretty much the same thing.

 

[Guidostrunk]

I have $19.99 , HiFi subscription.

Sammy do you have the $9.99 Premium Tidal or the Hi-Fi $19.99 Tidal.  The expensive one supposedly steams in lossless.  The "Premium" is the same 320 stream that Spotify Premium is.

[Guidostrunk]

Oh wow. I'd love to be able to burn music off of them. They're constantly removing stuff , for whatever reason.

Let me know if that's the case.

It's true.  Must be a licensing thing.

Thanks for kick starting the tube cleaning Thurstonx. I gave the e188cc Philips and valvos as well as the mullards a hit with red and gold treatments. Every element of the reproduction is improved. Mainly clarity and quietness. I didn't realize how much junk is on those little pins. Making the Omnis hum almost like on my main rig.

You can't let that cast-off from Lawrence Welk's Champagne Orchestra get away with  taunting your Heerlens with those
weak-sauce Mullards, Sam.  Run his ass over !!!!

Hey all, these have been posted forever. Perhaps I was asking too much. I'll entertain the best offer: http://www.head-fi.org/t/755897/2-x-dimpled-cv2493

Hey all, my 'weak sauce' Mullard comment was strictly meant for Guidostrunk's twisted mind.
The 2493 Mullards are some of the most-prized and hardest to find (2492's are much more common)...and that is one heckuva
make-an-offer deal from NightFlight.
