Yes Radio Paradise is great (all 4 channels). I also listen to JB Radio2 (https://jb-radio.net/Home) a lot as well which has great sound and (usually) great music. Streaming options at https://jb-radio.net/options.

Lou Reed's Rock n Roll Animal - the Intro is superb Joe Jackson has a number of great live recordings - as well as Big World I also like Summer in the City Live in NY; Afterlife is also good Alison Krauss & Union Station Live Springsteen's Hammersmith Odeon Live '75 Gene Clark's Silverado '75...

Slow Boat Records (https://slowboatrecords.co.nz/) in Wellington NZ is a great shop - I've spent many hours browsing and buying - very knowledgeable staff as well

My second system is a pair of KEF LS50 Wireless II - built-in streaming and quite a good app. Not the last word in terms of sound quality but impressive for the price (I bought mine on sale). I also have them hooked up to the TV.

My Touch is still going strong - thankfully. I use it as a streamer only - with the EDO software. It's easy to use and these days it is extremely stable - I can't remember the last time I had an issue with it. Also has great community support behind it. It will be a sad day if it gives up the ghost.

I use Audioquest Red River XLR cables to hook up my Elac Navis (https://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-Red-River-2-0m-Pair/dp/B00HZQOWYW). I recall reading a bit about microphone XLR cables when I first got the Navis but got confused as well!! One article I found was wary of using them...

About 20 years ago I had a Townshend Rock 2 with a Koetsu Black. My toddler son thought he'd tidy up that pesky little stylus thing - he pulled it off! He had better look after me in my retirement ...

Logitech Squeezebox Touch - had it for years - still going strong - use it every day. Not sure what I'd replace it with if I had to ...

Click on the green icon at the to left of the screen, and select CD Ripper Options. Click on [Options} to the right of Meta Data & ID Tag. Under Album Art at the top you can select the Maximum Pixel Size and the Maximum File Size.

I have no experience of BluOS and I might well be on the wrong track but I'm just wondering if the image is embedded in the individual file? And Folder.jpg is being ignored? Use a tool such as MP3Tag to inspect the individual files. MP3Tag lets you remove current images and add new images...

Currently doing a bit of house renovation and thinking about putting a pair of Kef LS50 II Wireless speakers into the the TV/music section of the living area. My main thinking besides quality of sound is simplicity - the Kefs seem to tick all of the boxes that I'm after, including multiple...

Just listening to this now - really good. Thanks

Qobuz on Windows here - no issues with performance. And sound is good - slightly better (or perhaps just slightly different) than Tidal to my old ears
