Differences in Audioquest Storm series (Thunder, Tornado, Hurricane)
No, I made it clear what I wanted. We'll see f they come thru. 
Differences in Audioquest Storm series (Thunder, Tornado, Hurricane)
I have a pretty good store in my area and they handle Audioquest. I called to see if they had any demos setup for me to hear and they told me that Audioquest hadn't started shipping them yet. When I told him there are reviews online from guys that...

I'm in the market too. Looking at the Thunder or Tornado for my amp.Any info would be appreciated. 
Qobuz.
Meats, I'm with you. When it's not stopping or locking up or having to put your audio info in every time you start it up, yeah it sounds great. But I'm a jazz guy and the stuff I'm looking for I search for. Sometimes it shows up sometimes it doesn... 
Has there been any inexpensive item that enhanced your system's sound?
Adding a dedicated 20 amp line just for the music. Everywhere I've lived it's one of the first things I do.  
$1000 should be spent for a NOS DAC or a turntable?
Why a nos DAC ? 
Spotify vs other streaming services
I use Spotify. I'm a jazz guy and their catalog is head and shoulders better then Tidal.Yes, Tidal does sound better by far, but what good is better sound if there is nothing to listen to? 
Moving to Tidal
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 l... 
Jazz for aficionados
pryso, thank you for that, it made my day. So many of the people I listen to are in that piece.Well Done. 
Moving to Tidal
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,... 
Harmonic Tech AC10 vs Audiience PowerChord
I have the AC10 power cord. It's been on my Modwright swl 9.0 preamp for about 5 or 6 yrs. Had a hard time finding one at the time but there is an audio store in Windsor, Ontario that had enough wire to build me one. An outstanding PC at any price... 
Cable info
The guy asked about cables. 
Tidal Hifi has a very limited jazz selection
I'm a jazz guy as well that uses Spotify. I tried Tidal for a while but compared to Spotify's library it was truly lacking. For me the music is more important. I listen in the car, I listen thru my HT system, and thru my main rig in my listening r... 
What software to play .dsf or dsd files for Windows 10?
Yeah Jim, were on the same page. Just for S&G I'm gonna try the free HQ Player. I've read that the sound is very good, but you might need a degree from MIT to work the thing.  Anyway, keep listening. 
What software to play .dsf or dsd files for Windows 10?
Jim204, I'm with you. To a point. I too tried the free Roon offer and found the same results. The sound was much better then JR. But Roon gives you a lot of stuff to read about the artiest in your library. I really don't need all that. I still rea...
