Coffee in Paris this time of year.
I'm also more into stout.

They all sound good but for some reason I couldn't pick a firm preference for any of them. I'd pick one then go back and prefer the other one.

At a push I think I find IPA slightly more funky than Stout but that might just be cos the sound better suits that track than anything musical.

I also got a slight feeling of Naim vs Linn about them - maybe that's why I'm torn.

It seemed to get progressively more difficult to choose: Tea no thanks. I like IPA but this isn't the best. There's something about Paris...

So, yes: Coffee definitely; Stout probably; London slightly.

(I only saw beck's reply after I'd listened to Tea/Coffee & IPA/Stout, but that's not why I had a hard time with London/Paris as I try to listen 'blind')

I prefer the nuanced flavour and depth of coffee, but it's decaf here, there's more caffeine hit with tea.

IPA is alcohol-free, but Stout is worth drinking.

London and Paris confuse me: there seems better interplay and cohesion between the two in Paris, London sounds as if the vocal is dubbed over the bass, the singer doesn't quite nail it, but the bass player is really on it.. Can I have the Parisian singer in London? Failing that, I'll chose Paris.

Very interesting... Can I ask:
a. 108 (v3 or v4?) or 108Tv2?
b. original Netgear power supply, or ... ?
c. music from NAS or streaming service?

Curious that everyone chose Coffee; almost everyone chose Stout; split on London-Paris... Going by the timestamps the switch clips were recorded IPA; Paris; Coffee. Wonder what's going on such that it's not a majority for one or the other, but a mix.

Interestingly enough IPA vs. Stout was the easiest for me as Stout just wasn't stout enough to make me want to get into the funk. I went back and forth a few times on Tea and Coffee and even though I abhor coffee and rather enjoy tea, I did feel Coffee was more musical here. Despite knowing which is which, I'm afraid I still prefer London to Paris even after multiple listens. London just seems to have more groove to it. So it goes.
