When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi???
I've been away from Audiogon for a while. Nothing has changed. Lots of good common sense advice. Lots of people with 'x' many years of experience in complete and bitter disagreement about the exact same things in every post here with other people... 
Stupid Volume Question
Never mind. My memory is worse than I thought. The volume setting on Apple Remote was always set on max and then controlled on the pre-amp via the physical remote. It is with an older Sonos Connect into the pre-amp that the volume in Sonos is 'fi... 
Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers?
I get tired of hearing about Led Zep's thievery. Faulkner once said, “Immature artists copy, great artists steal.” Many other famous folks have said similar things. Led Zep stole the way great artists do. Then they got caught. And they paid for i... 
Odd subwoofer question.
I will certainly consider it. Thanks.  
Odd subwoofer question.
Thanks guys. A couple of thoughts. To be honest I was hoping something for well under $500. The used market might help. Not interested in a pair of subwoofers. It is only by my wife's good graces that the speakers are in our living room which is... 
Odd subwoofer question.
Thanks. That's good to know.  
Any Mark Knopfler fans out there?
@tomcarr I think I mention the production quality back in the original post, but yes he and DS have a number of songs that are great for experiencing how good your system sounds. You and Your Friends is a great one for that. @dpop He does seem to... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Khruangbin (Texas psychedelic Thai funk) + Leon Bridges (Texas R&B) = Texas magic. This one is moody, sad, ambient gold on a good system.     Mariella

"Discover Weekly" still has not popped up on my Spotify app. There are lots of other categories for looking for new music but I can't find that particular one.

Yes, it makes sense and for some reason I have not used the "Got to Artist" function in Qobuz but I will certainly check it out now. Thanks!

@dancub Can you explain what you mean by: Now it's"   Radio Paradise => Qobuz => "Go to Artist" => "Similar Artists" and you're off on an adventure.    Sorry to be so dense. Does this mean you start in Qobuz? @2channel8  I will check ...

Several people have mentioned the various "what are you listening to" threads here on Audiogon. I used to frequent those threads and over the last few years I have been turned onto some artists that I remain really fond of. However, what you most...

@tyray I live in the Charlotte, NC radio market. And much like Charlotte itself, the radio offerings are pretty cookie cutter. In fact, its a wasteland. At least in terms of rock/indie etc. I don't know about jazz. I still scan the channels in the...

@curiousjim I would have taken the risk on that box of CDs too! @jbhiller I am a CD guy. I've got some vinyl but not much. My typical process is to find stuff I like and then buy it on CD. I've slowed down on that a little but if its something re...

Got it. That makes sense. I'll spend some time with Spotify, as I have been this evening. It makes it MUCH easier to browse for new music than Qobuz or even Amazon Music as it is already showing suggestions of bands similar to the ones I just list...
