Moving to Tidal


I have a Cambridge CXN and have been using Spotify for the last year. Just spoke with Cambridge and got the niggles out with Tidal (simple, reinstall the app and reload the streamer). Clearly better sound on the Tidal. I love the "Release Radar" and artist radio on Spotify. Not seeing anything similar on Tidal. Any suggestions or should I keep some Spotify (cheaper subscription) and look for new music there?

I downloaded tidal again to test their catalog against spotify . If you like rap or R&B or rock you're golden. But I'm a jazz guy with a nice amount of classical thrown in as well. I searched tidal for some of the stuff I listen to on Spotify, and if anything did come up it was one or two tunes. What good is better sound if you have nothing to listen too. I'm sure pretty much everyone on this forum has a really nice system for music. Spotify sounds great in my room, and for me it's about the music anyway. I'll check out Quobuz when it shows up, but if there is nothing for me to listen to, it's back to Spotify.
Just Listen.
jond, I'm curious. What does Spotify sound like on your system.
On mine I hear an openness with macro and micro detail in a well populated soundstage. Tidal has all of that and more. Do you just listen to music on your main system all the time? I listen in the car, on my HT system and off my phone. The sound quality of these sources can't come close to my main system, but I still enjoy it. With me, It's all about the music.
