The problem with streaming

MQA is crap. Hi Res and dsd for me.

Bottom line is enjoy the music who cares if you stream or listen to an old AM radio.

My Dad is tougher than your Dad, oh wait my Dad.......

I don':give a patooie

Been 'streaming' more or less since the early '00's, so it about time y'all got up 'n out 'n about. *s*

Lived in an apt. complex that was proud to be attached to a T1 line, due to a software co. half-mile north of us.  Place crawled with day-traders and on-line gamers,  up @ weird hours....

There was a music server that had a huge catalog, large enough to get shut down by 'the authorities'.....everyone took it as a badge of dis-honor with a 😏....

Welcome to the 21st, y'all... ;)

I am an old guy who just became hooked on streaming.  I use Apple as I am already deep in their infrastructure via phone, computer, iPad, for both myself and my wife.

Recently I put a streamer into my 2 channel setup and the ease of searching and listening to music has been eye opening.  I love blues among other things, but being able to search and listen to all the different versions of something like Smokestack Lightenin’ or Statesboro Blues has hooked me.   After the original artist , then perhaps the Band that had commercial success and then everyone else’s take on it has me hearing all kinds of new things.

How many people have covered Come on in y My Kitchen, my preference is the Delaney & Bonnie version with Duane Allman on slide.

There are many ways to enjoy this hobby and I am very happy to have discovered this new set of capabilities.  I know I am late to the party, but I am 73 and happy to still be at this party!  Happy Listening to ALL

High speed tape, a great A to D converter..( actually 2 of them ), a pile of great Ribbons, ….the only thing i didn’t buy was a lathe, but i did get a decent TT. Most of the rudder hard over opinions are not informed by EQUAL investment in format. 

Its all fun…

Enjoy the music
