Streaming Tidal/Qbuzz Vs Internet Radio
My question is, why do some of the radio channels on my streamer sound better than Tidal or Qbuzz ? I have an Innuos streamer to a Schiit Yiggy and subscribe to both Tidal and Qbuzz. I listen to Radio Paradise and Dot 1 FM , and they have better sound quality than the paid services. Although this is not the case with most radio stations these two sound very good to me. Granted they play at a slightly higher volume, but when I adjust for this I still get a better soundstage, more detail and greater bass. When I play the radio channels on my small system I have to lower the subwoofer volume. On my larger system I do not run subs. So I’m curious if you’ve noticed this too, and any explanations would be appreciated. Cheers , Mike B.
@buellrider97 Wow, 917-10 is a deep cut! Very cool and interesting machine. Cars are just another fun hobby, they can be expensive but worth it imho. Just like audio. Then again you can have a blast wrenching on an old car without spending a fortune, just like you can build a pretty amazing sounding audio setup using good budget components or even vintage gear. The main thing is to have fun with it. |

@jbuhl , Nice bike ! Father Time caught up with me. Sold my two motorcycles, gave away 3 pairs of Volkl’s, my carbon road bicycle is a wall ornament. My stereo has gone from a luxury to a necessity. Starting to build a larger system and trying to progress with streaming music. It’s easier than playing vinyl, but not as good yet. I grew up on dirt bikes and was riding my dads ‘68 Triumph Bonneville on the street at 15. If I was young again I’d have a hot Super Moto for the street. Most of my buddies raced short track and flat track. They were better , but I was pretty good at backing a bike in on asphalt. Nothing more fun than counter steering into a corner and lifting the front coming out. “ The Older I get , the faster I was “ ! Cheers, Mike B. |
Fortunately, still riding my LeMond Zurich - as long as my knees hold out.
