Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[4-earredwonder]

Cool snagged that one used $20.00.

Good deal, Markie and you're going to love

“Woke Up This Morning" from Joe McBride & the Texas Rhythm [from the HBO series THE SOPRANOS]

Which AFAIK, was never released on any Heads UP Multi~CH SACD as a complete album. The discrete immersion is UNBELIEVABLE!

 

[mandrix]

Yeah, it is probably the best source out there, especially for those early 1980's CD's before they where remade and crushed by compression.
As an experiment I bought some original The Marshall Tucker Band CD's and so much superior than my 2000's remastered versions.
If I was smart I would have never gotten rid of all my original CD's at various garage sales over the years.

I've actually been pretty impressed with ordering outside the country. I ordered an early surround DVD by Orbital from a gent in Germany, still sealed for a reasonable price. Well it's still only a few ordered outside the US through Discogs.
I've done a fair number of trades with a select few people outside the US over the years. Since the Russ/Ukraine war it's diminished as I lost contact with the guy in Russia I used to deal with.

Hiromi's Multichannel Works (on SACD) are:

Another Mind
Brain
Spiral
Time Control (under Hiromi's Sonicbloom)
Beyond Standard (under Hiromi's Sonicbloom)
Silver Lining Suite (under Hiromi The Piano Quintet)

I think her 2019 album Spectrum has an unreleased Atmos mix as well.

Are we sure that Silver Lining is multichannel? I remember going down this rabbit hole before and couldn’t confirm it - on the SACD listing on Discogs, it says stereo on the OBI and also the back cover?

You are right. I just confirmed mine is stereo. I must have grouped it with the mch releases by mistake. (rips on the pc)

Sweet. I think I have those early Marshall Tucker CD's somewhere boxed up, at least Searchin' For A Rainbow, my favorite.

Darn! When it released, I remember people saying it was MCH. Guess I was wrong.

This is a rock and roll title. Wow

I can literally feel the bass punch me in the chest. Bad ass...

Arrived today from Goodwill of Orange County (ordered via Amazon).

Now listening with my new $25 Walmart/onn DVD player (purchased because it can be set to region 0/all and will convert PAL DVDs to NTSC) using (original) Dolby Pro-Logic - moderate directionality.

Listened earlier with my Hafler/DynaQuad setup - seemed to have more precise directionality.


IMHO, it's too bad Dolby Labs doesn't push matrix surround sound encoding anymore, it could be used (with stereo media) to provide a taste of Atmos mixes without the cost of an Atmos setup.

Is that with the new dual SVS sub setup? Hope you’re having some fun with that today.

Yeah I got a notice last month but no replacement Spinners disc yet. Not one of my faves so I'll just be patient about it.

 

[Clement]

Mad LOVE to @zar for turning us onto the availability of this beauty!
