Jim, I don't have to convince myself one way or the other anymore. I have long ago settled that argument by sitting down and comparing MQA on Tidal to Qobuz with Roon. I still have both Tidal and...

Choices are definitely a good thing. One can chose to eat organic or one can choose to eat McDonalds... There are health benefits and there are simple taste preferences and habits that outweigh...

As I have mentioned multiple times in various threads, we don't have a definitive standard to go by. There is no more of a bullseye to aim for with this hobby than there is admiring and...

This hobby has always been part science and artesian art of crafting good sounding, good measuring, scientifically backed...

I'm down to a few dozen SACDs of my favorite performers. The over 1000 CD collection and the pointless (for me) rituals of storing them and hardly ever listening to the music I no longer care to...

"Refreshed" sounds a bit less dramatic than "reloaded" these days... But both terms are applicable :cool:

Issues on my iPad here as well. Sometimes it needs to be refreshed a few times before everything goes back to normal. No issues with Windows. No big deal

The "everything bubble" going on right now will of course go "pop" one day and many will cry but in the mean time, enjoy the party.

India's 1.366 Billion population and their population density in large cities is any virus' wet dream... Same with China of course and their 1.3 Billion population and yet we see quite a difference...

Mumbai's Antilia belonging to the Indian Billionaire Mukesh Ambani is the BIGGEST "house" in the world.

Yep, an impressive yacht indeed.

I sailed (on a chartered sailboat, not my own, sailing from St.Maarten to St.Barts) right by the Eclipse while it was moored there for the New Year holidays some...
