What are you streaming tonight?

As we are in the modern age of music I thought I would see how this fares.
We have threads specific for cdp and tt so why not streaming as it is a modern media.
I don't care if you stream Tidal, Deezer, Spotify, Paradise Radio or any number of internet stations.
I would like you to share your tastes and method of streaming.

How does that work, u? Why does running tape at high speed make a difference??

I’m guessing less "information" per cm^2 of tape is a good thing???

Great question that I have never even considered.
But it does.
Master analog recording is all done on high speed tapes.
I'm sure Google knows....

Dumping anything to tape without careful level matching will get you hooked on several things:

gain
a little low end bump
a whisker of high end roll off (16 k and up )
bit of saturation and harmonics your ear brain likes...

u can get some of the same effect w a high end Casa deck for a lot less $$ ( tape )

B-77 high speed half track in the mobile recording rack....

I guess I could also ask why does an lp sound better at 45rpm than 33rpm?
why should tape sound better at 15ips than 7.5ips or 3.75ips?
Inquiring minds need to know!
