I DO NOT use Qobuz, Tidal, Apple Music, Spotify or any other flavour of streaming. 🎧

I play Direct Stream Digital and 24bit-192kHz Flac to my Cambridge Audio CXN v2 using Audirvana via USB [24-192] from a Mac Mini.

'Sweet Jane' from 'Berlin, Live at St. Ann's Warehouse'

I think this 'live' version is even better than 'Live Encore at The Mosque, Richmond, VA, 8-8-1989' included on the New York Extended.

The Chairman of an NGO called “The Austrian Committee for NATO and EU Enlargement” is not taking any shit from the USA. If they attack or otherwise “acquire" Greenland, then Europe will take control of all the USA bases in Europe and defend itself.
