    WOW these are some pretty extreme situations. Let's hope that when a hurricane is approaching you are leaving to higher ground.

    Tesla Model Y performance

    I don't believe we have to have only 1 solution for automobiles. If hydrogen based fuel cells become a viable solution than great. I also believe in modern technology. We will see advancements in power plants of all kinds. I believe we will see new and additional power sources. Current power...

    Tesla Model Y performance

    I was under the impression that upwards of 90% of EV charging is done at home. If I had one without a doubt I would install 220V. We are still in the early stages of EVs. I'm sure the nation-wide infrastructure will continue to improve.

    Tesla Model Y performance

    WOW if we could cut emissions just in the US by 10% I would think that is awesome. Now if an EV saves 41% or produces 59% pollution of an ICE, isn't that good? I agree with you if people think 0% that's fantasy.

    I haven't made any digital changes. I'm using the Canario Diretta Bridge. Chan set mine up so no PC knowledge needed on my end. I do plan on listening to SoulNote as I have heard great things about it.

    Building a system around ROON for local/ripped/downloaded files and making it better than CD playback...

    Here is my advice for what it is worth (basically nothing). EVERYTHING has a sound. Every music management SW I have heard imparts something on the music. Every cable, amp, preamp, etc. imparts something on the music. Just go listen and if it sounds good to you, it is good for you. Oh and by...

    Lenbrook Acquires MQA!

    I doubt people would pay for me to give them a free link. Really it is just simple math. "# of streams" x "price paid per stream" = $$ Sorry you have an issue with me stating facts. No harm meant on my end. Like most people I believe the artist are getting taken by the music industry.

    My advice would be for you to tell your friends to use a different streaming service. Each service pays a different amount. Here are a couple of sites that allows you to put in the number of streams and see what each pays. https://royaltiescalculator.co/tidal-royalty-calculator/...

    I simply ask why you believe what you wrote in post #163.

    Why do you believe this? Wouldn't an artist make more money if people keep streaming their music vs a 1 time purchase.

    Sorry but it's a simple match exercise. I'm not saying everyone is making money from streaming but the idea that buying a LP, CD translates to more money for the artist isn't all true. It all comes down to how many people buy physical media vs streaming. If an artist wants to make "real" money...

    I also have a few musicians friends. Even a family member. They have been getting screwed by music companies since the beginning.

    Funny I always hear people make the assumption that artists make more money when you buy the LP, CD, physical media. I'm not sure that is true. So an artist typically make around 10-15% off each album. So a $25.00 album nets the artist $2.50 - $3.75 on average. So if an artist streams a song...
