Kodiak,
I still use an older Oppo Digital Player in my Theater for BluRay DVD CD SACD playback. I have an inexpensive Sony player in my 2 channel system. Bought it while i was waiting to see who might introduce a unit as good an Oppo had. Good enough short term but it has developed some issues so currently looking again at whats out there. I registered with Oppo after they had announced they were ending production but I missed out on getting a 203 or 205. A Sony unit, the ubp-x1100es might be enough for me.
Jeff

Hey CV,
The musical scores for Sicario by Johan Johannson and for Blade Runner 2049 by Hans Zimmer are great.
Blade Runner 2049, with Villeneuve as Director, he did a great job keeping the musical space very reminiscent
of Ridley Scott's original Blade Runner with Vangelis.
Jeff

I am never buying the Sony Jeff mentioned. Sony has let me down too many times with what I now realize is false advertising. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/QFbDgqjL/Sony-false-ad.jpg)

Still in love with Emmy the Great, and her new album just came out, so I've been enjoying it today. April by Emmy The GreatThe forum software didn't like the Chinese characters, so I had to take those out to post it.

Listening to Lee Ritenour today. This one caught my attention. Just absolutely fantastic and dynamic. Clear yet robust with a soundstage that goes on forever. This just keeps on giving. Closed Door Jam - Lee Ritenour https://open.spotify.com/track/5Xb7jPS7IMkMh6PFAKkjcm?si=ZkR88JbmR5q77qR6Ad9ZkQ

Jeff Hey Jeff, well I was inspired by your need to have the physical CD and went looking. I found a second hand shop and bought 17 cds at 0.25 cents a piece! Just standard “ red book “ ( at least that’s what I’ve heard them called ) cds. All in great shape. Taj Mahal Dave Matthews Mikes Davis Harry Connick jr Diana krall ( live in ny ) Yanni and a bunch more. What a great find. I need a new CD player now! Is the sacd format as great as it’s touted to be? Or should I just get a tidal or quobuz subscribe?

Man, if you only had a sealed sub. I think if the M60ti are giving you enough SPL and soundstage, you just need to v4 them and add a sub...or two.

I mean I’m ok with the SPL I can get, but I stop bc I think I run out of power and things get messy sound wise and the illusion collapses. I’d go higher but the tap runs dry.

A good question is, which tap. The power tap of your receiver or the linearity tap on your M60Ti?

That’s my gut feeling given the power handling capabilities of the m60ti. But I’m open to other theories. I can’t know for sure unless I power them with another amp and play em loud with more headroom available. Edit: with a quality amp with low thd and quality snr.
