The Decware Pill - Any Experiences?
You guys swayed me so much that I went ahead and purchased six of them - two of which I’ll give to Goodwill as a holiday gesture.   
Canare 4s11 how good are they ?
I've had Canare 4S11 through BJC for more than, gosh, 8 years maybe? They've been in and out of the system depending on preference or just to change things up. On my system, they present a little thicker in the midrange, but have just as smooth hi... 
New Tidal Plans and Changes
@lg1 I'd have concern as well - it's a little fishy. No login required (just checked my email from Tidal).  
New Tidal Plans and Changes
I received an email stating that I was upgraded to Tidal HiFi Plus at no extra cost. Has anyone else received this?   
Cable Management Tips and Tricks
@bh123 good question that’s never crossed my mind, but interested in the answer as well!I’ve found the practice of cable management to be very zen-like at times.  
Apple Lossless? Do I need Tidal now. Is it better with my Node 2i?
I think tvad is correct in his last post. Listening quality is completely subjective. Recently, some people have been saying that they believe Spotify is more musical than Tidal even though the resolution is lower in Spotify. Other people have sai... 
kingko KA 101 advice for sub
Quick correction, your Kingko actually does have a preout. 
How can i improve the sound of Iphone 11?
Have you thought about iPhone 11 > Apple Lightning to USB > AQ Dragonfly? Dragonfly will be able to decode MQA. I personally utilized this combo when walking - dongle and Dragonfly add a bit to the phone, but not too distracting if you bend ... 
Spotify HiFi
Surprised as well that this hasn’t been implemented yet. Looking at this with a glass-half-full-approach in that they are refining out the quirks for a solid rollout. Somewhat like the Apple approach - not necessarily the first to release a new fe... 
When someone listens to your system for the first time.
Similar experience to pennpencil with my wife not being impressed. As an experiment I placed an Amazon Echo (1st gen) between the speakers and on top of my credenza. Switched between the two channel system and the Echo for roughly half an hour. Sh... 
Best sub for music,
@northbeach curious how the RSLs work out for you. Lots of good reviews on those. Very interested to see how they do in 2 Ch. I’ve owned Rythmik and HSU’s ULS 15 and VTF line - all great value that give the competition some level of hesitance. REL... 
Keeping Insider status
There is a chat feature that I hadn’t known we had access to, which was nice to utilize. The forum was down a few days back and I was able to receive an answer from Tammy right then and there.  
Please help me locate a Carver Sunfire Signature Subwoofer?
Try looking into thecarversite.com. There’s some old tech’s in Washington that may have what you’re looking for - or able to repair if you decide to purchase as-is on ebay.com. If I remember, some frequent the site, but more would be able to point... 
Amazon Music and Bluesound Node 2i
OP, why not skip BluOS and utilize Tidal Connect from your phone direct to the Node 2i? You’ll be able to stay within the Tidal app which seems to be more intuitive compared to BluOS. Spotify Connect does the same.Can’t comment on Amazon, but BluO... 
My conclusion: mid level $$ analog vs digital
“There’s a fullness and naturalness to analog sound that is difficult to match with digital.”This comment appeals to me. I’ve been debating on whether I should fork over some money towards a mid-priced TT to see what all the fuss is about. I just ...
