Ok, great set, but how do you get the discs out of the card boar holder without getting finger prints on them???

Pull em out, wipe em, rip em, and never look back.

Use a piece of cloth.

Thanks, but i can't rip them. I guess i will just put them in a cd case. But the original covers are so beautiful!!

I'm listening to the DTS-HD Master "QUADIO" layer of For The Roses. The four quad speakers are playing, and the center is silent as expected. But when I walk to the back of the room the two rear speakers are also playing. (6.0 surround.)

Anyone know what is going on? One thing for sure is that it is very satisfying. I like it much more than the Atmos.

That happens to me all the time with my quads. I’ve looked at different settings on my AVR and Bluray player but haven’t figured out where I’m going wrong.

But like you, I’ve found I enjoy it and not sure I’d change it even if I do eventually figure it out.

I had the same problem with the quad from the Deep Purple set, had to set my Denon AVC to Direct to get it right.

Here's the waves for YTMOIAR - pure Quad, er... Quadio, check your pre-amp settttings!

Setting my Marantz AVR to Direct or Pure Direct fixes it, but I like the sound more with the rear speakers playing...probably a duplicate of the surrounds.

Edit: I should add that the reason I like the QUADIO better than the Atmos mix is that the former has a more intimate presentation.

I just noticed on the bottom of the box set, in very light colored text:

DEDICATED IN MEMORIAM TO ELLIOT ROBERTS

I'm also not finding this box set inputted into discogs yet.

This is a setting on your surround sound receiver. When it was initially calibrated, there should have been a setting over how additional back speakers should be used. The reason the back speakers are playing is because your speaker placement isn't perfect, and the bit playing in the back speakers is meant to make the audio sound like your speakers were placed in the ideal position.

So it is a duplicate of the surrounds, but played at a particular loudness depending on the placement of your side and rear speakers.

I had to look real hard but found that dedication on my copy too. It's fitting considering the role that Elliot Roberts played in Joni Mitchell's career. Joni's previous collection, The Reprise Albums, also carried the same dedication for Mr. Roberts.

PS: I found an entry on Discogs for the Quadio/Blu-Ray Edition of The Asylum Albums (no images for it yet but it does have the tracklisting for the set).

Uhhhh, what are you talking about? This is the only time the back speakers have ever played with a quad disc in the deck. Every other time only the four speakers play.

Does anyone know how to make a Marantz AVR behave like this (duplicate the surrounds in the rears) with all four channel recordings? I like the way it sounded with the rears playing as well as the surrounds. In the case of For The Roses, it added just the right sense of space to the rear soundstage.

Still waiting, and no mail either, nor parcel number for follow up.

Pull em out, wipe em, rip em, and never look back.

May I ask how you are ripping these? I've ripped using MakeMKV, but DVDAE won't extract because of BD+ (I did check the box). Looking to make Multichannel FLACS for roon
