Is the grass greener on the other side?
@mental Yes I did. It was just a trial when I did it, but it had some neat recordings.

@jond Last I heard was "by CES" 
Any Comments RE: Soundiiz imports your playlists and favorites easily from TIDAL to Qobuz
Yes I have used it. It is a bit hit or miss on getting songs matched. I’d say it works on ~50% of the songs in a given playlist. Then maybe 40% “don’t exist in the destination” and another 10% get matched to a weird karaoke version or cover band. ... 
Rythmik vs JL vs REL
@mzkmxcv So you don't like the  ULS-15 MK2? 
Rythmik vs JL vs REL
So I don’t need the room correction as the anthem already has it. Also does anyone like Hsu Research subs? For the price I could get 2 of them!

I heard the exact date of launch is in flux right now but they are currently targeting before CES in January :/ 
Where are the blind streaming quality tests?
@n80 It is neat to find another audiophile who also likes photography! I completely agree with your point about photography. Imagine choosing to buy camera A or B based on seeing a set of test images taken with both cameras where you have to look ...

@jburidan I've listened to say the 702 s2's and the difference was there but nothing to go crazy over. Especially when I use a sub to supplement the 704 s2's low end. If you were recommending something what would you recommend?

@mapman I will have to see if I can find a show here in Seattle. If not maybe I'll make a trip to RMAS one year. Do you have suggestions on where to go for good sounding concerts that aren't classical music? Most concerts I've been to sound like g...

Is the grass greener on the other side?
@erik_squires Do you think the “natural” room fixes will improve the sound over the ARC? I’m just worried that I’m going to get the Gik stuff, re-run ARC and it sound the same just with less correction. @stevecham Honestly i can’t be bothered to w... 
Is the grass greener on the other side?
@blueranger thanks for the analogy! Pretty insightful. I completly agree on the process of finding the right system. If only there was a magical store you could go to and try all the different gear and hear exactly how it would sound in your room!
