Just finished clearing the driveway and roof raking. Now I can relax and play some tunes. I picked up this CD at a thrift store a few years ago and really enjoyed it. The Wyld Olde Souls-Ensoulment. A nice mixture of psychedelic, acid folk and medieval with Eastern influences. Male and female vocals and an assortment of contemporary and ancient instruments.
Wishing you and your wife a speedy recovery.Thanks, but never made it. Woke up about 3 in the morning with a fever of 103 long story short, my wife and I both have the flu and have been fighting it all weekend. I don’t wish this on anyone....

98.7 FM - WMZQ - Country Radio....something by Lady Antebellum ?
A new acquisition, Marantz 2220B
Well, Soundwise very close, The OPPO won based on how it sounds with the outboard DAC. I tried every hook up I can. The Marantz was actually better with Analog straight into the preamp slightly. The OPPO also was slightly better with SACD, And it's a universal player. Killer video
Also, That model Marantz has a TOC reading issue on some discs. I found the service bulletin, Install a 1ohm resistor on the transport, Which I'm doing asap. A cap there gets overheated. Then it will be a really stellar player. I was very surprised the performance it put on. It's , What 15yo now.
Your set up looks great. How did your Oppo/Marantz shoot out go. What did you find out?
Working on it. Did anyone catch Chris Stapleton on Austin City Limits last night? Up to now I had only seen a couple YouTube videos. I was impressed. I will be on the lookout for some of his cdsEveryone awake??

Never heard of these guys until joining AK.Found that one yesterday as well but it will have wait till later
I saw the pineapple yesterday also. Told the Mrs. I'm going back for it. The hanging bunch I haven't seen
OMG, I totally forgot that the Oppo plays SACD. I have had it 4 years and never even bought one. (I better start shopping). This is a tough call for me as well. They both sound great. The thing that blew me away yesterday after using these two decks for so long I never realized just how long it took them to load a disc. That McIntosh I just got is supper fast. I never gave it a thought until yesterday. Is there a big difference between SACD and just regular CD's? I have never owned a SACD.
