Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[edisonbaggins]

I really like how you set things up for the photo. Very cool....

Thanks! Surround still lifes are kinda fun.

 

[edisonbaggins]

And...any comments between the two mixes?

Well... yes. There are nuances to the conversation, and my confidence is less than 100%, but I think the Blu-ray is the winner. At least on my system.

 

[Perp]

I did hear that the dynamic range is a bit compressed on the Blu-ray.

I did hear that the dynamic range is a bit compressed on the Blu-ray.

I think that's fair. Seems a tad loud and bright, to me. But very clear and present.
By contrast, the DVD-A seemed warm, but ever so slight obscured. And the DVD-A has a couple brief moments of upmixing.

Listened to:

Eagles - Hotel California

Foo Fighters - In Your Honor

Rolling Stones - Rock & Roll Circus

Now Listening to:

I'm not a huge classical music fan overall, but as a drummer, I consider Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade to be one of the most spectacular pieces of music ever made, and a precursor to modern progressive rock. The drums in the final 'The Ship Breaks against a Cliff Surmounted by a Bronze Horseman' is as heavy-duty metal as it gets.

very interesting, FW and you've mentioned this one on QQ before and tbh i forgot to investigate it further at the time! oops! it also gets an entry in the Surround Discography, where the Producer stated in any interview that it was Quad only, is it definitively matrix encoded or could it be just a fold down?
1975 man.. a stealth A&M QS Quad.. that's pretty nifty!

edit: just been running a few YouTube videos (!) of tracks off the Thad Jones & Mel Lewis "Suite For Pops" album that fizzywiggs41 recommends thru the Surround Master. wow!
definitely QS! thanks for the tip FW! you da man!!
