@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.
Only two tracks to test your system, forever!
If you could only use two tracks/songs for the rest of your life whenever you wanted to test a change to your system, what would they be?

@passthedutchie People are sharing songs they find well suited to critical listening and testing system changes. I don't think most people are looking for a round of applause and acceptance. Neither are most of us interested in injecting judgementalism into the thread. |
