The remastered 24/192 version on Qobuz is horrible. At first it appears more dynamic, but it's really not. JB's voice is drowned out by reverb. The 16/44.1 version smokes the remastered 24/192...

I can't listen to Tidal because I dropped it long ago. I was asking if the version you are hearing is 24/192 and it has the crowd ambience before the first song that the original version doesn't.

Is this the 24/192 version in which the first song has some chatter/crowd ambience before it starts which isn't there in the original release of the album?

It's called common sense.

Personally, I would change "I have some" some to "I have many," but that would be on Qobuz and not Tidal and their MQA sheep dip.

Sounds too good to be true. I have never heard of anyone who gave up a big stereo system capable of covering the full audio range with large-scale dynamics and a realistic soundstage and replaced it...

The Green Police will need therapy after looking at that photo.

Good luck with your move Bones.

Chris-You had lots of reasons why moving/downsizing was the right thing for you to do and I completely understand the decisions you made. What I was addressing was the automatic script that when you...

That may or may not be true, but there certainly seems to be an expectation from the masses that with retirement comes downsizing your home and lifestyle. I know that from the barrage of questions...

Joe, I'm happy to hear that you are in your late 70s and still enjoy listening to music and are still upgrading your system! I find that refreshing.

Nicoff, it isn't just downsizing your audio gear footprint. I'm quoting you here from your original post on this thread:

"The music zone is now in our living area. As for the cinema... well, it's...

Where do other people get off telling you that you must downsize? That's nuts and none of their business. Now there is a commercial on TV that tells "empty nesters" that they need to sell their...

Pro audio gear has size standards called the Rack Unit (RU). Home audio gear can be whatever size a company wants to make it. As for pulling the top off of an amplifier and not seeing much inside...

How would you possibly know that? The answer is you don't.

Congrats for not downsizing and maintaining your love for music and having a dedicated listening room.

Agree 100%

100% incorrect. ISO 9000/9001 certification doesn't guarantee any degree of quallity. It just means you paid your annual certification fees so you can fly a meaningless flag outside of your...

That's a bummer Chris. Having younger neighbors can be a blessing.

I for one am not fixated on resolution per se, I'm fixated on SQ. The majority of my digital listening is 16/44.1 files because I find they sound better than far too many "hi-rez" files. Having...

My sentiment exactly.

I assume you meant that you will retire at the end of 2024. A move from Mobile, AL to Seattle, WA is quite the move. I hope it all works out for the best.

Now we have at least two people on AS that love the sound of 320 kbps. I'm glad that you are OK with downsizing your stereo system and you are happy with the outcome.

That explains a few things.
