| Vandersteen 2ce Signature and Signature 2? @beetlemania Thanks for the correction. I guess I misread what audioconnection wrote. Perhaps he could clarify.I have to say I’m still very happy with my cloth Quatros.@gdnrbob Thanks for the report. I'd love to hear the VLR CTs. | |
| Vandersteen 2ce Signature and Signature 2? Great to read that the carbon technology is trickling down to the 2s. I would be very tempted to stretch to the VLR CT with a subwoofer or two. | |
| Miss my Dunlavy Speakers, Were to go... I'm embarrassed to admit it, but after spending about $11k on other speakers, I think the Dunlavy SC-III are the best speakers I own. IIRC, I spent under $3k on them in the early 2000s. | |
| Miss my Dunlavy Speakers, Were to go... Finally scooched the SC-IIIs out of the spare bedroom and hooked them up to my Rogue M-180s. I just set them to the outside of my Vandersteens, toed in a bit, but not very carefully. I never had these hooked up to my big tube amps. They sound v... | |

| Qobuz Coming to America Soon! Just went to qobuz.com and -- yay! -- the pound sign has changed to a dollar sign. But when I try to log in it says that they are in a closed "invite only" beta. Now my feelings are hurt that I didn't get an invite. | |
| Spotify for classical music lovers I thought spotify maxed out at 320 kbps. | |
| What is the epic song of a group? Someone mentioned You Really Got Me for the Kinks. I would say that was their iconic song, but I think their "epic" would be Waterloo Sunset. | |

| Tidal sound quality Yeah, it happens now and then that the rip that Tidal has is damaged somehow. | |
| Tidal and Squeezebox I should have mentioned the DSDPlayer plugin, which doesn't require any hardware changes.http://www.easysqueezebox.com/index.php/articles/dsd-files-on-squeezebox-an-introduction/ |
