| My hearing deficits are becoming clear... @whitestix Like you I hear the stereo very well but (prior to covid) got lost with background noise is busy places. No amount of hydrogen peroxide solves it for me but the crackling is fun. Have you tried a cleaning? St. Jude?Hi from Davis. | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal When his (Neil Young's) Pono venture went dark a lot us got orphaned. It was not at all handled well. Poof.I'm in the US and on Qobuz there are dozens of his Albums..American Stars 'N Bars through to Zuma | |
| Tidal vs Quobuz @highpeakriderWell does your name refer to snow, ski or bike riding? | |
| Tidal vs Quobuz @highpeakriderI use Qobuz in my (not new) cars with Bluetooth. Don’t have to sign in ever. Car controls let me skip/repeat a track. Easy peasy. Don’t know if “apple play” sound is better? Don’t know how it could be?Add “Tunein” and you have radio ... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. Green latex paint? Or can you use oil? Day glow? Yeah Day Glow put on with clockwise strokes with micro detail sable brush.With some bit of seriousness over the years I have looked at some of the more far fetched looking "improvements" and come cl... | |

| Tidal vs Quobuz Tried both and thought SQ on Quohbuzz (Like that misspelling?) was a bit better. Naturally the ultra high res files do sound better.Still pondering Roon vs Qobuz but that's a "champaign problem". | |
| Living with unsolvable hum - Any audio detectives out there? Maybe this was mentioned and I missed.Did you try not using power conditioner? Did you plug pre directly into wall? | |
| Your system struck by lightning? What did you learn? Yes; have been stuck twice and had power surges/dips from heck (those can fry electronics too). Whole house surge protection is in. Inexpensive to do all things considered. Robust power conditioner in use.Unplugging when away or when thunder is ar... | |

| Living with unsolvable hum - Any audio detectives out there? Did you try not plugging pre into the Shunyata T6000? Apropos of nothing, with my gear, I found a Fuhrman reference to be a sound diminisher and switched to another power conditioner. If you hold the pre amp and the hum goes away or decreases ther... | |
| Living with unsolvable hum - Any audio detectives out there? Could it be something else interfering with your pre amp like a nearby light? Something metallic? Proximity to another component?
