Personal Preference???........Perhaps

However, there are other "technical" factors.........consider these for MUSIC

a) We know how a Piano, Violin, Guitar or Saxophone SHOULD Sound......

b) Usually a Note is held longer or played more repeatedly

c) We will play a Music disc maybe 100-plus times and become VERY familiar with how it sounds


Now compare this for MOVIES

a) The vast majority of us don't know how a REAL Bullet or Explosion SHOULD sound.....

b) The sound is normally held for a few milli-seconds only

c) Most that do know, will admit that these sounds are completely exaggerated for effect in Movies anyway

d) Even for the very best Movies, most of us will only watch 1-2 times per Year........thus we are not as familiar with their "sound" as we are with Music content


In summary, I would not fancy my chances in a blind test of being able to distinguish an Oppo from a Meridian Bluray player, when playing a Movie.........if the Blind test was with MUSIC, then I feel I would have some hope
