Who uses ADS Speakers
Had a pair of L980's back in the day.  Very musical.  Loved the sound of the "sticky" tweeter dome. Very smooth.

Ghastly news!  Frank was a generous and innately kind man. Looks like I’m binging on great CDs he sent me of his most beloved music. Your soul is in an infinitely better place now. Be at peace, Frank.   
Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment
Replacing all gear footers with the appropriate sized Isoacoustic Oreas.  Upgrading speaker cables to the amazing high value Wireworld Equinox 8.   
CD Player Recommendations…
Suggest you take a look at the Marantz CD6007.  I'm on my second Marantz disc spinner and they are musical drawing you into the music.  From your posts, it should mate well with your system.https://www.marantz.com/en-us/product/cd-players/cd6007

Overrated/Underrated
Underrated:  The tremendous value available from the Wireworld line.  Check the quality of cable constructs considering their price versus other brands.  Overrated:  Kimber.  Even their Select line of cables don't have the continuity of sound they...

Do you have a top quality power cord to connect the P15 to your home service? 
New Melody Gardot release
Very nice recording! Listening to the CD right now. Very carefully thought out arrangements. More upbeat lyrically than her last release “Currency of Man”.  Mastered by Bernie Grundman.  
Denon dcd 110 or Marantz saki Ruby?
@sericoloSo glad it worked out for you. The sound has a dynamic drive unlike any disc spinner I’ve had. A musical authority! It’ plays music. Not about treble, midrange, bass etc. just the music. It is as if I went to a more powerful amplifier. 
Denon dcd 110 or Marantz saki Ruby?
@sericoli  Just curious...do you have a black or gold Ruby SA-KI?
