Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[Quad Linda]

Ship ️ Ahoy - O'Jays DV SACD
One of my most played Quads!! Q8 is my most played copy. Also bought CD & Sony 5.1 SACD. Fantastic mix and IMHO, their best album . Solid 10

Sundown - Gordon Lightfoot BD
Best of Mancini v1 &2 SACD
Night Calls - Joe Cocker US Version DTS CD UK CD has different track lineup!

Looks intriguing and chill...thanks for the suggestion.

BTW, those with 3D LG OLED capable monitors can also enjoy spectacular 3D 1080p images to accompany the music...IMO, among the BEST state of the art 3D on the current market.

I'm a fan of these video 3D / Surround,immersive sound series.

Lichtmond Discography

The sound is more impressive for me, in some titles, in the tracks with poems in German.

There are 4 titles, that can be found in different packages:

2010 - Lichtmond Moonlight (DTS HD-MA 7.1)
2012 - Lichtmond 2 Universe of Light (DTS HD-MA 7.1)
2014 - Lichtmond 3 Days of Eternity (Dolby Atmos / Auro-3D)
2016 - Lichtmond The Journey (Dolby Atmos)

I can recommended all of them, if you like mixed visuals/audio 2D/3D video 2D/3D audio.


Other similar proposal, although not so spectacular is the "2006 - Prism of Life" from the Ambra series:

What a blessing to have these Azteca albums on SACD from Dutton-Vocalion! Such a bonus to have stellar liner notes from @humprof !

Rusty, have you compared the QUAD OR to Rhino's current BD~A 4.0 remaster?

Hello 4-earred wonder. I just compared the QR tape to Rhino's BD-A. The QR tape begins with the violins coming from front right and front left and the lead vocal more centered. Rhino's BD-A also had the violins coming from the front right and front left, but the lead vocal has shifted to the front right speaker. The BD-A also has a booming bass that is not heard on the QR tape. Someone with more experience should confirm this. What do you think? Maybe this screen shot of the first track from the QR tape will help?

Here's Fredblue's image from the CD4 Quad LP

And here is Dynamic's image of Rhino's BD-A

For my eyes and ears, Dynamic's image confirms the lower volume on the front left channel.
Here is Mr. Derbyshire's Hi-Res review-which addresses the "low volume on the left front speaker" issue.

May your days be filled with surround sound.

Deodato - Prelude & Deodato 2​

[SACD Hybrid Multi-channel]​

​

I recall how ecstatic I was when Dutton announced these extraordinary CTI releases as a two~fer on a single hybrid SACD disc!​

​

They are as fresh sounding today as when first released but via D~V's superb mastering chain from the original analogue QUAD masters .... a sonic DISCRETE revelation!​

Did you know that rocker Alice Cooper dubbed Ms Helen "The Queen of Housewife Rock' and she LOVED IT!
