Listened to ELP Brain Salad Surgery Karn Evil 9 3rd Impression last night. Heard details that I never heard before. Not even on the DVD Audio disc.

I really enjoyed The Alan Tousaint MQA album 'American Tunes', it sounds spectacular even un decoded.

Ole from the album of the same name - John Coltrane. Does it for me!

For late night listening, Soul Brothers by Milt Jackson and Ray Charles. Maybe 'Deed I Do' for its piano/bass combination.

For a Friday evening try the wild Dionysian 'Hog Calling Blues' by Charles Mingus, followed by 'Devil Woman' to calm things down a bit, both from the album Oh Yeah.

I'm struggling to pick a single track but listen to Across the Universe and Young Americans from the Young Americans album. Even better if you have a second "nothing special" you can listen through.

I have a simple setup in my work studio that's basically an iMac feeding a small pair of Dynaudio BM6 monitors via an old Musical Fidelity M1DACand the difference is frankly amazing.

One thing that is surprised me is how most of these albums are not the usual "hifi show" fodder. Just great oldies and a few newer ones.

I'm doing it now... but to be honest it's really hard to get past "The New Cool" by Bob James and Nathan East."

Here is the link: MQA Tidal HH Playlist.

Where an album has been stated, I have picked a track at random.

Please can someone confirm that they are MQA - They are when I access the playlist when already logged on with my Tidal account... but not when I follow the link.

Cheers
Tom

The three tracks I've played so far are MQA.

Thanks for doing this!
