Only two tracks to test your system, forever!

"Letter" - Yosi Horikawa

"Run" - Abe Rounds

"Rust Belt Fields" - Slaid Cleaves

@mjmcubfn Tidal’s search is just as bad. Leave out anything and it won’t find it. They really do need to incorporate a level of "intelligent closeness" and offer suggestions better. And oftentimes I do better by searching for the song title rather than the artist.

Whoever mentioned Patricia Barber, thanks. I need some "audiophile grade pap" like her on this cold, grey, gloomy, rainy December day.  Never had heard of her. And whoever mentioned Deeper with its 25Hz bass, thanks. Good finds. At least something "new" to me. Bass extension is important.
