I used to bemoan the lack of jazz titles in surround . . . the SM v.2 has set things right! Jazz sounds AMAZING through the blue-eyed box!

DAYUM! The Crime is that EVERYONE doesn't have one of these to experience the wonder of the Surround Master! SO GOOD–Bloody Well Right!

Pay no attention to that man behind the camera. Phone.
From LP to CD to Pure Audio one of the most dynamic & detailed recordings I've ever heard. And IMO best music from the ST catalog.
Now of course if they could only do something like that with The Strawbs!
Full speed ahead with the FSOL debut, Accelerator . . . mm, lenticular cover!

wOw! This LP sounds AMAZING through the SM v.2! Can't wait to hear the Atmos mix on the Blu-ray! My wife is upstairs in the 7.1 space, working on a post-graduate paper. Until then, i'm REALLY digging this through the Surround Master! Great album–Fully Completely, for sure!

I'm channeling my inner @Quad Linda – not only LOVE for this release, but this Sundazed Music LP is my 6th copy of the album!

This album was superb using the SM. Standouts include Space Oddity (I swear at one point the voice was coming out almost exclusively in the right rear) and Suffragette City (where the rears seemed more active than the fronts!) The guitars in the beginning of Rebel Rebel were also pretty incredible, filling the room.
MAN! I've listened to this album hundreds and hundreds of times. Never sounded as good as this 2 x 45 rpm Mobile Fidelity release . . . through the SM v.2!

Whoa! The SM v.2 makes me feel as if i'm in the midst of these musicians in All Souls Unitarian Church on 13 February 1962. Absolutely marvelous sounding 2 x 45 rpm Analogue Productions pressing! The SM v.2 has taken my jazz appreciation and enjoyment to a new level!

This sounds exquisite through the SMV3. Other than being a fantastic later period Joni record, the lush production of this recording perfectly lends itself to the Surround Master’s ability to spread out the soundstage. I would say for most of the songs it could be chalked up as “ambience in rears”, something most of us here would frown upon in discrete surround mixes, but I think it works very well in this context and there are plenty of “discrete” moments, most notably Joni’s voice is stable up front while backing vocals surround you in “How Do You Stop”.
I don’t mind the sometimes ambient rears so much because listening to what’s going on upfront is so believably discrete, for example acoustic guitar and Joni’s vocal stay front and center with reverberations filling the surround channels.
Very interested to hear the other Larry Klein produced records through the SM, such as Night Ride Home.
Seriously, give Turbulent Indigo a shot.

Well, i knew it would sound AMAZING! Can't really A/B this with the SDE release because my Surround Master is in a different room, but it's KILLER in my Quad Listening Space (in Time)!
Ten Years After - A Space In Time
You ever notice that the recordings that upmix best with the SM always make the best sounding quads, 5.1 and Atmos mixes?
wOw! I had only played this once–taped it as soon as i bought it and played the hell out of those cassettes. This 5 LP collection sounds wonderful through the SM v.2! What a treat!
