Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[marpow]

COWBOY JUNKIES WHITES OFF EARTH NOW!! [MoFi/Multi~CH SACD] AFAIK, the only non classical title from MoFi in SURROUND and IMO, a GREAT SUCCESS.

The Junkies cover tunes from Lightnin' Hopkins, Bruce Springsteen, Robert Johnson, Bukka White, John Lee Hooker and one Margo/Michael Timmins original. Am playing it on my new system and the sonics are EXTRAORDINARY .....

Yes Ralphie, excellent to say the least.
A MOFI MCH, you don't see too many of those.
I listened to this at work on my stereo Tidal and loved the music so I found a copy used on Amazon for $35.00.
Can't wait to hear it and can't wait to see some pictures of your growing little baby. PM me if you have pictures and text you would like to share.

I’m ready for Q8’s to make a comeback. Think of all we’d save not buying those big shiny deluxe super extra special box sets. Although Ian is still pretty reasonably priced.

Two days after Christmas, and you're already at the top of Santa's NAUGHTY list for next year!

Please sir, it's for the good of Tull-kind and your ears.

Will do Markie as soon as everything is finished and back in place. A unique 'journey' for sure. But I can't stress enough the importance of matching speakers front and back. Am currently playing my huge pile of MQA encoded discs through the SUPER DSP mode of my Meridian 861 v.8 pre/pro and having never heard the surround master, this probably closely approximates the discrete swirling effect of the SM3 utilizing HDMI into Meridian's unique 722 Switching box which is not only a switcher but finesses the incoming HDMI signal to great effect.

Am currently listening to the DTS version of POCO's Crazy Eyes and have NEVER EVER heard it sound so HOLOGRAPHIC ..... the rear right channel is projecting the guitar solos way into the bowels of my listening space .... and the entire album sounds AUDIOPHILE .... something I never experienced on previous systems!

This Quad LP absolutely ROCKS!

I can't tell you this one until 2024.

Are you “Bursting” at the seams to tell us?!?!

Gato Barbieri CHAPTER TWO: HASTA SIEMPRE [Impulse RBCD/QS encoded] One of Impulse's 'single inventory' QS/Stereo compatible recordings which translates exceptionally well through my pre/pro's DSP SUPER mode and should decode 'brilliantly' on Chucky's SM3 .....When I state that things were swirling all around is hardly overstating it!. Literally 'freaked me OUT!'

Chapter 2/ Hasta Siempre. Impulse AS-9263 (QS), 28 675 ET (QS) [Germany],

This one's for @Sonik Wiz : I've opened up the front and back windows, turned my receiver up to 11, and i'm CRANKING "The Golden Age of Rock & Roll." It's so LOUD that my dolls–action figures–are bouncing on the LP shelves! Mott and i are saying good-bye to 2023 . . . i wonder if the neighbors want to say good-bye to Mott and me! Btw: i think this LP is mint! It's shiny and so quiet–nary a crackle or pop! Rock & "Roll Away the Stone"!

Not Warner. Though, I did hear a Christmas tune that was welcome at this time of year.

Perhaps it growled like "Dogs in the Midwinter"!

How do they sound on your new system as compared to the old one?

Wow, had no idea it made to surround, I love Redbone, have close to all there CD's.
The brand new Chevy commercials playing these days is a Redbone song called, Come And Get Your Love. I am wondering if it will make it as long as Bob Segers, Like A Rock which lasted on Chevy commercials for years.

Perfect late night listening, two 5.1 albums on one disc, great value
