Hey, folks! Just listning to this in Spotify. This could fool me thinking I was hearing some old school quad of the most discrete type. Really impressive how this whole album gets the SM 3 treatment.
Stuff that sounds amazing with the Surround Master

The SM v.2 made me Breakfast . . . in America!

Note to self: When contemplating making a home-brewed 5.1 of song using DeMiX Pro, first listen to it through the Surround Master. If it sounds really good through the SM, don't bother with a home-brewed remix. Don't ask me how I know this.

I love it when introduced to a new album / artist / music that strikes a chord. This album really hit the spot. And yes, the SM Stereo 2 Surround (hope you don't mind me stealing your term @Sonik Wiz) is fantastic.
"Be Easy" rocks.
Thanks for sharing.

How about something that doesn't sound so good with the SM?
I bought Charlie Puth's latest album. (Please don't judge. I love pop music and, unlike some other young artists, he's actually very talented.) I was pretty shocked that the album sounded sorta <eh> when played in fake quad-- for the most part. Then the tune Left And Right came on. It was one of his hits-on-the-radio songs.
Wow. On this song, CP uses a lot of back and forth between the speakers for his vocals. (That's why the song is called left and right. ) The quad was pretty stunning. There were times his vocals came solely out of the rear speakers. Backups vocals in front. I swear it has to be matrix encoded.

This one really comes alive through the SM v.2

You might want to try juicing up the rears quite a bit when you get a “meh” sound stage from this sort of material. It helps quite a bit.

Just finished listening to an AMAZING pressing of Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus. Now i'm spinning Spirit's eponymous debut. Another Music On Vinyl limited pressing of 1,000; i have 70. This vinyl is clear. And it clearly sounds better than any pressing of this album i've ever heard . . . and through the SM v.2? YOWZA!

The SM v.2 definitely takes this one . . . deeper

3 CDs of SM v.2 sonic bliss! Although the band may not have enough "GOLD" to sustain a 3-CD run, the collection sounds wonderful through the magic of the BLUE lights
Average White Band - Gold
SM v.2 + Mingus = Match Made in Surround Heaven! Seriously!! LOVE IT!!!
Mingus - The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady
Evidently this was slated for a QS LP release that never saw the light of day. Well, now that i have an SM v.2, i say, So What?

Oh, yeah! That's the stuff! Surf's UP!
