Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[Simon A]

I'm pretty sure that these are bootlegs. They look close to the real thing but since these only came out on SACD, I think that's a dead giveaway there. I think Sony stuck to SACDs and I do not recall seeing DVD-A from them except when they released a DualDisc with a DVD-A side.

I still hope you enjoy them.

Eric Clapton And Steve Winwood Live From Madison Square Garden Blu ray[Happy 72nd birthday Steve Winwood]

I'm not sure of the provenance of the recording but they sure are 4.0 quad all 4 speakers are active!

The source of the quad mixes would have to be either the SQ LP or the Q8, as none of the Aerosmith quads have received official digital releases. Whoever made those did a nice job on the cover and disc art though.

So...I took a chance...and purchased these from CDJapan : Japanese Anime, Jpop, Japanese music, Game music, Japanese movie, CD, DVD ...
I'm not sure of the provenance of the recording but they sure are 4.0 quad all 4 speakers are active! Now my next step is to find a good dvd-a player, since my Sony UBP-X800 won't have anything to do with these. But my bedroom Sony player will at least pick up the dvd-v Dolby Digital. So that said, there is an MLP mastering on here I've yet to unlock. Not that the DD sounds bad, just that it sounds good for DD quality music. dts would have been preferred over DD to get me by until I get the dvd-a going but beggars can't be choosers. As far as CDJapan : Japanese Anime, Jpop, Japanese music, Game music, Japanese movie, CD, DVD they are super nice and I got these in like 2-3 days!! They FedEx'ed to me and I was expecting to be waiting like 2-3 weeks with COVID and how everything is kinda slower. So props to CD Japan, I will be ordering more from them soon.

Oh LOL there is NO DOUBT (I am suspecting, anyways) they are not official, but I figured why not, take a chance, listen and see if it's any good since the website seems legit and it's not Russian Federation on eBay. Again it's all a gamble.

Be patient with it. IMO it starts moving at track 5 or so. There's a track with rain at track 10 and then it really takes off.

Played it all,really liked the progression.Nice music and real good mix.
Any poll for this?

Good Wednesday Morning People!

First listen to...

Erich Kunzel / Cincinnati Pops Orchestra - Vintage Cinema



This is the last of seven Erich Kunzel & Cincinnati Pops Orch I ordered after finding out there were many more than just the wonderful “Got Swing!” disk.
Once again, very little of anything happening in the rear speakers. Such a shame.
Off hand, I think they were about 50/50 with decent to good surround / to are my rear speakers even on? Buyers beware...

Which ones would you say have the most discrete mixes?
