I'm in Tidal now. Good choice!


I finally jumped to Tidal after finding out that I can listen to album TALK TALK "Laughing Stock" 24-bit version.

However, the original 1991 vinyl sounds substantially better. This album haven’t been released originally in USA on vinyl so it must be UK or Germany.
If anyone has it in premium shape, please drop me a note. Can offer adequate trades.
Sorry for this ISO here -- at least it’s disclosed:-)

I mostly interested in ability to fish for great titles and track the artists I like. The quality is also important so I want to figure which membership type is the best. I use their default player installed and Lenovo Q190 mini desktop with 250G SSD. I’m on free membership now, will I see all best definition versions or only CD quality?

Like all sources of music it depends mostly on the masters - always a mixed bag. The deluxe edition of Led Zeppelin on Tidal is excellent.
i don't listen much of mainstream and that's the only concern. which tunes i'll be able to listen to in "full hd" ?
all?
few?
several?

I have a HiFi membership, which gives access to close to all of the Tidal library in lossless format. On my system, Tidal lossless sounds better than CD. A modest but rapidly growing selection are in MQA format, which is discernably superior to lossless and CD to my ears. There were a recent thread on MQA, on which I believe the majority of Audiogoners posted similar views.
