When does Spotify go HIFI? Anyone knows? Cut&paste from Reddit, seems like something is going on soon: ========================================= Not sure if this has been covered at all, but I did a little digging within the Spotify app, and found info about the new, more expensive Supremium, which...

When does Spotify go HIFI? Anyone knows?

I’m interested to hear from any more recent Entity buyers, what they upgraded from and how the Entity sounds in comparison. The review on Stereophile was excellent I upgraded from the Naim Stageline K+HICAP (which has been recapped recently) to the Entity 1.2. The SQ difference is staggering in eve...

In my opinion, these are all good questions. Musical for me (without trying to offend anybody), stands for natural sounding, realistic sounding and similar sounding to live musical performances...either studio or live concerts. Cheers! Live concerts have never sound good me! I think mainly because ...

I was particularly impressed by this track "In spite of ourselves, John Prine/Iris DeMent", demo'ed by Gilad last Sunday, I could hear and feel as if DeMnet was breathing down my neck, it was that real!

Is this really what Linn sounds like nowadays, or is it just examples of a bad setup? I was gobsmacked when I listened to the passive Linn 360s, in the flesh, driven by 6 Solos, last Sunday, demo'ed by Gilad, in one word, wow! I have never heard the depth, the layering, instrument timbres, separati...

The only reason I can think of is Linn want to sell more than 250?

Just attended the newly released linn 360 speakers’ demo by Gilad in the SF Bay Area today. He told us the 250 lp12-50s had already been sold out.

My problem is how to sell the Linn Klimax Solos? :) :(. Maybe @ThomasOK can help?

Put them for sale is quite an easy solution ;)

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm afraid I don't keep up with the used market that much. I would say that the best bets are usually Audiogon and eBay although you can also put items for sale here and on the WAM forum, which has a Linn section. As to what they are worth I would look them up on Hi-Fi Shark as they aggregate used ...

initially the Friwo was used because one member had some issues with high frequency rubbish the other power supplies have been emitting and he had a use case where he didnt wanted to have that. The Friwo was the quietest one so he used it. If I remember it right he never made statements about a bet...

Should we have 'like' or 'unlike' buttons?

🔶 I'm a little surprised,.or a lot. Nowhere on the "net" except here,.you read that Spotify would be better than Qobuz. Instead,.everyone writes all over the internet that they are waiting and waiting for Spotify to start delivering high-resolution HiFi-quality. I have Qobuz myself,.and in my high-...

Well said, thanks @lejonklou.

However, it is still lossy, going from 320kps Ogg Vorbis to 16/44 Yes, but most if not all other streaming services do use FLAC (16/44 or higher) and FLAC does not seem to be a very good sounding format (at least in comparison to WAV) Ogg Vorbis (which seems to be a good sounding one) can go up to ...

Matthias wrote: ↑2022-08-09 12:45 The 320kbps Ogg Vorbis will be decoded in the Spotify app to a 16/44 stream. The Linn DS sees this 16/44 stream and shows in the display CD quality.
