Stuff that sounds amazing with the Surround Master

[jfloftin]

Well, the CD doesn't say it. If you play it using the java Quadraphonic Matrix Decoder, you can see it with the o-scope images at the bottom. I ripped the CD that I have. I then confirmed it with the app. I read somewhere that the CD audio was sourced from a quad master. As you can see below, it was correct.

Here is a pic of the record. It says SQ... You are right. I had to change the settings on the Java app. Sorry...

Well, I dubbed Aliens Ate My Buick onto quad reel using the Surround Master. I gave it a good listen. Interesting material. I think I'll record "She Blinded Me With Science" onto the end, since I have some tape left over.

If you like electronic music Jurassic Shift by the Ozric Tentacles sounds pretty amazing on the Surround Master. I have to say it sounds really great in stereo also!

Also, if you can find it, "Everything You Always Wanted To Hear on the Moog (But Were Afraid to Ask For", by Kazdin & Shepard, kicks some serious surround butt.

I love Ozric Tentacles! Nice to see them mentioned on QQ. Jurassic Shift is one of their best. I also really like Erpland and Curious Corn. Those albums have so much surround potential!

"Twin Sons of Different Mothers", from Dan Fogelberg as nd Tim Weisberg, comes alive through the SM.

Well if you haven't heard all their stuff there is quite a bit on Tidal music service if you have an account to sample.

Ooooh, I have that. I'll have to give it a spin tonight.

 

[The Quadfather]

I bought the Rick Wakeman album. "The Red Planet" Gonna give it a spin tonight. Through the Sound Master, of course.

 

[The Quadfather]

The Red Planet was a good listen. The music was good, and it decoded like it was QS encoded.

 

[Electric Moo]

ah good to hear about Wakeman's new LP!

I am trying to source a copy, all the vinyl appears to be sold out

Late this afternoon after completing my second listen of the Doobies What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits I decided to give the high res stereo a go through the Surround Master. I HATE WHEN THIS HAPPENS...I found the hi res stereo version in Involve 5.1 to be as aurally satisfying as the discrete quad. Yes, it doesn't have the separation of the quad, but it's still an extremely impressive upmix. Granted a couple of the densely instrumented compressed rockers just gotta go the quad route, but everything else sounds as good as a modern 5.1 mix.

Might have been even better if it was actually encoded in INVOLVE stereo!!!! Could not resist the blatant promo.

Before getting the Quadio I played the cds through the SM and was impressed.

Just heard 'Who are you?' by the Who on digital radio through the SM - wow!

 

[Scott65]

Now 'Power and the Passion' by Midnight Oil is on the radio. Nice and discrete. I'm going to have to play the whole album LOUD on the weekend.
