Liner notes in a streaming age
@77jovian I use Allmusic.com to get fairly good coverage of artist's bios, album discography, and critical popularity. For me, the quality of info is even worth tolerating their popups and endless sidebar videos. Good stuff to drill down to.

What are you using to listen to Tidal? When I listen via the Tidal app on my iMac, the album's credits are available through the Album Info menu accessed by clicking on the three horizontal dots on the Play/Favorite/Share line just below artist pi... 
Best Subwoofer Connection
Well, there you go. Once I saw your current loudspeakers I figured that you would be going in that direction. Still, given the high-quality of the crossovers in the JL E110, you have plenty of options down the road.And perhaps adding a second sub ... 
Anyone having trouble with Tidal cutting out?
@theo is right. When experiencing network issues, it is always a good idea to disconnect the modem, router, and switches from power. Switching them off or resetting them isn't sufficient. Then bring the network back on line one device at a time, w...

The sub has a crossover frequency knob that you will use to adjust the crossover point - that frequency at which all signals above it go to the power amp and all signals below go to the sub.  This is adjustible between 30Hz and 130Hz with 80Hz bei...

Nice system! Don't forget to get your sub positioned first in the room before you tweak the crossover etc.I would still run the preamp output through the sub as a first option. Then it's a matter of setting the crossover freq and sub volume. Then ...

Lucky dog. Great sub choice. You paid a premium for those excellent crossovers on those E110s so I would try running the preamp outputs through them first. This relieves the power amp and loudspeakers from heavy low frequency lifting. It will take...

Which songs or musical standards have haunted you?
Kentucky Rain - Elvis Presley 
Periodic noise
@almarg @o_holter The OP didn't say how long the interfering device had been in place or how long the interference (noise) had been perceptible. So my question is: Could this noise be "a canary in a coal mine?" In other words, if the devices had b... 
Can I use my SSP's DAC instead of external DAC with Mac Mini?
Classe was bought by Rotel/B&W a few years back. The 2 brands are very different. Ownership is about the only thing they have in common.Yeah but sometimes I like to think that there's royal DNA in my bloodstream even though I come from a long ... 
Can I use my SSP's DAC instead of external DAC with Mac Mini?
I have a MacMini running Roon with a 2TB external drive containing my library of about 25K songs. About 3K of those are iTunes downloads and the remainder are songs ripped from CDs into 16 bit / 44.1 kHz AIFF (lossless, compressionless) format. Al...
