Visited a Store and was shunned
I don’t know where you were on the west coast, but if you’re near Portland, Oregon, you have to stop by Pearl Audio. They are very friendly and knowledgeable. The equipment they carry is top notch. Highly recommended! Ken  
I built what Tidal and Qobuz won't. And people are loving it.
I just tried the genre/decade search. It worked great! Thank you! Ken  
803D4 - what integrated we thinking is a better match? Hegel? McIntosh? Other?
I have the 9500 and love it. I think B&W and McIntosh are a classic combination.   
Sonic Oracle update: nearly 3 million artists, works with any Tidal/Qobuz connected setup
I’ve used Sonic Oracle for several weeks now. I like it a lot. It’s sort of a poor man’s Roon. You type in the name of an artist and Sonic Oracle instantly gives a list of related artists, some I’ve never heard of which is great, whose songs can b... 
Favorite Pink Floyd Album
Dark Side of the Moon is the obvious choice.  But, for variety, my second favorite is Animals.

Floor spikes for speakers?
Let’s try this one more time.  Not “apes” but “spikes.”  
Floor spikes for speakers?
Oops. I meant to say the apes are on my equipment rack.   
Floor spikes for speakers?
If nobody minds I’d like to, sort of, hijack this thread. What about spikes going into Black Diamond Racing discs on a wooden second floor? I have a 100+ pound integrated amp, a streamer and a turntable on a Quadraspire bamboo shelved rack.  If t... 
The not lost but hard to find art of vinyl records
Here is another vote for CLZ. There is no entering of endless details. On newer records entry is done by scanning a barcode. On older records all you have to do is type in the album’s catalog number. If neither of these options works you can enter... 
Trouble with Qobuz
I started this thread back in January. Qobuz has just kept getting worse. Over the weekend fully 1/3 of the songs I wanted to play, even those in my favorites list, just wouldn’t play. I think Qobuz sounds better than any other streaming service, ... 
For April Fools' Day
