Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[fredblue]

...and onto another ol' Quad given a new lease on life on SACD courtesy of those fine fellows up the Metro Line in the leafy land of 'The Hornets' (that also just happens to have some tasty rhythm section action going on across the back pair.. bass playing par excellence rear left, Animal from The Muppets sitting in on the drums in the rear right).. ladies and lads of QQ, introducing the wacked out wonderful-ness of Return To Forever's "Music-mad-chick" in (((((sssssssurround sounddddd))))) :worthy :woopie :wave :violin :yikes

EARTH WIND AND FIRE - Head To The Sky (Quad 4.0)

Excellent! If you don't own this...you need it. Brian says Elusive Disc has a few copies at the $26 mark. Grab it now before it's 100% OOP.

LOL! Sorry, normally I'm not so messy. We just had a bathroom gutted and remodeled...and...well...you know my challenges last night with my laptop. I had stuff everywhere....

Time to clean up.

is that conversion from the CD-4 or the Q8?

It Feels So Good - The Manhattans (SQ LP decoded by zee Surround Meister)

I sooooo wish somebody would put this out there discrete (SACD reissue from DV or AF = "da best", obv's.. but a tasty Q8 transfer would be a more than respectable 2nd best! ) since its one of those mixes when in decoded SQ form its hard to tell exactly what's supposed to be where.. love the album, like much of what i'm hearing in decoded SQ form.. i just know i'd love it even more in all its 4-ch discrete glory! in the words of Penelope Pitstop; "hey-alp..!!"

Perfect Angel - Minnie Riperton (SQ LP)

another one i just cannot til now find the Q8 of (for love nor money, nor "for the love of money"! ) but at least the decoded SQ record seems to make more than a decent fist of it! that often 'heroic' yet fuzzy lead electric guitar is many times prominent in rear right, as is the unmistakeable harmonica of "El Toro Negro" himself.. keys and bass 'seemingly' rear left (pretty sure i detect some acoustic guitar in rear left and tinkley keys in rear right during this album's big hit; "Lovin' You").. it appears Minnie - the main event - is upfront, some other stuff is kind of a little bit SQ-fudge-y but still yummy fudge all the same, the vinyl pressing itself sounds rather nice.. i'll continue to enjoy and be grateful to Involve for their decoding technology voodoo magic that has enabled us to get these kinds of results from the 'lowly' SQ format, thanks yer Aussie Quaddies, keep it up! :upthumb

Metallica - Quebec Magnetic BD-V in 5.1... forgot how great this one sounds, surrounds are very busy for a concert. It’s hitting 102 dB at only -20 volume and it doesn’t sound compressed in the least... awesome concert!
