of course that's perfectly fair enough, none of us is under any obligation to purchase anything at all that we don't want or are not interested inI love Quad, but if I don't like the music, then it's totally meaningless for me.

I don’t know which of the MJQ quads has the best surround mix, but from the point of view of the music, I am most interested in a Quadio release of The Last Concert.Modern Jazz Quartet Plastic Dreams please.
I agree. I've changed my mindset these days to not being a collector, but more of a "if I like it, I buy it." I bought a few, like Hot Tuna and Gil Evans, but I ended up selling it soon after arrival. Not my bag. They only cost me $5 because of the bundle deal, so a win for me and the buyer.I love Quad, but if I don't like the music, then it's totally meaningless for me.
You don't have to buy it.Disappointed in "The Doobie Brothers Toulouse Street" release in this set. For those of us wanting to collect them all and support Rhino, we are just paying for a duplicate contained in the box set. I think they should have included an Atmos mix on the disc so that we would have additional content and value to make the purchase worthwhile.
Holy Crap! John Hughes? He had the best music blog ages ago. Wrote about lots of great stuff from the 80's. Lost track of the blog, but was really a fun read.Well, it's a great story of Rhino and their audio engineer Bob Vosgien coming to QQ to tell us the story of the first Quadio back in 2010. Most of those posts still exist here in the Quadio section of the forum and are well worth reading when you have time.
The Chicago Transit Authority DTS disc was the first of the Quadios and it represented a new program that unfortunately was terminated with only 2 releases due to some major shake ups at WB.
Although he was involved back then, Our friend Foraging Rhino (Steve) was not posting here at QQ back then, it was a guy named John Hughes. There's a lot to go through here, but the audio engineer Bob Vosgien actually posted here, and in PMs to me told me of all of the titles he was given to prepare for the program, over 40 titles!! Back then, they also included the Capitol Q8 titles (although not the solo Beatles releases)
It's best to read through the old threads. I will add them to the list here. You can relive the excitement from 14 years ago for the very first Quadios. We were all bummed that the program got tanked, but then Steve rescued it a few years later and SHOCKED us with the Chicago box set, probably one of the best quad box sets ever released!
This forum is a great library of the history of Quad from 2002 to the present. Members should really reach back and relive some of the great stuff, good and bad, that we've experienced over that time.
