Stuff that sounds amazing with the Surround Master

[gvl_guy]

Wow. The SM blew me away with this album. The background vocals by Ben Watt were clearly in the rears on "Driving" - like it was mixed for surround. Tracey Thorn's vocals throughout the album were so full! And I only have the CD of this.....

stereo HiRez, at some points it opens up more than the 'surround' SACD

The “surround” SACD has only the front three as active channels!

You must be thinking of Kind of Blue. In A Silent Way definitely has active rears.

Whoops! I defer to your expertise and memory! I guess I should have seen “silent”!

has anyone listened to King Gizzard & the Wizard Lizard (fellow chucky's aussies) through the SM, Today I was listening to them in the car, just a plain car stereo, and somehow there were sound comeing forme everywhere, and I instantly thought...shit this would be amazeballs with the surround master.

If I dont forget Ill try to listen tonight at home, but I will probably forget.


Edit: I think it was the song "This Thing" from the "Fishing for Fishies" album

I have been converting my Q8's, Q4's and quad records to either DTS CD's and DVD-Audios for quite a few years now. I received the Surround Master last week, It arrived the same time my Windows NT Computer with the 10 channel audio card had its power supply die. After getting that fixed I picked a couple of random SQ records ,played them through the Surround Master and made my quad DTS disc. Played it back through my fancy home theatre system. I swear it felt I was listening the the 4 channel master tape (except for a couple of crackles - these LP's are gettin' old)
Congratulations to my fellow Aussies for creating a 2024 device for a 1974 record.
