Still delighting in rediscovering my audio gems on the SM v2, last night I played an LP: The San Francisco Swing Express. SQ encoded & it sounded fantastic through the SM. If there are limitations on SM SQ it sure was not apparent here. Imagine that; the Surround Master really is good for playing quad, not just stereo!
As I always took very good care of cleaning & preserving my records (with the LAST treatment) it is in near mint condition. It was produced by Sonic Arts as part of their Laboratory Series, in fact record ID LS-29. Leo de Gar Kulka produced & engineered the record. Even after reading up what I can about this record some questions persist.
Well, firstly I wonder how rare this is, does anyone on the forum have this LP? It was sold only through Evolution magazine so I guess that's where I got it.
The cover raises questions:
Even tho it's obviously 4 ch quad, it proclaims "Super Dimension Six Sound Experience". What the heck is that? I didn't even know there were 6 dimensions to anything.
On the back is some extensive technical details. What caught my eye was the line
I am pretty familiar with the various flavors of SQ encoding but I've never heard a Zone Encoder referenced. Anyone know anything further?
It looks like this was the only quad record produced by Sonic Arts & it's a good one. Great music selection, great musicians, crisp clean fidelity & & enveloping surround with the right amount of direct sounds popping up in the rears.
