The Beatles - Abbey Road 50th Anniversary (5.1 & Dolby Atmos mixes)

[Goona]

What did I tell you guys , nobody listened (lol)
Just posted my Automatic Ten on the Atmos Poll

 

[channelar]

Picked up the deluxe version at Sandy’s Records in Dee Why (SYDNEY) yesterday for $A154.95 inclusive GST. By my calculation this was slightly less than the price from Amazon France which would have included the same GST but would have had freight and it’s GST component as an extra. Was still in its factory box. Plus day of release. Grateful and impressed. Haven’t had a chance to play the blu ray yet.

Plays fine (and spectacularly) on my Oppo 103

Hey, keep your eyes on the road!

I'm so excited. This album is the Holy Grail for me. Unless Pearl Jam started doing 5.1 album releases. And then I would have like 10 holy grails.

Only had time for quick listens so far on the Atmos mix. Wow. This is amazing. I'll need to spend a lot more time to figure out what is happening where, but again, wow. Also, BASS.

Did you say..
BASS????

 

[H.A.L.]

ALL YOUR BASS ARE BELONG TO US! <old Internet meme, slightly re-phased>

Wow. In from work and there it was. Never heard the lead guitars so clearly . . . the "shoosh" sounds echoing in the rears . . . ok, I'm going to finish my first listen, then come back and gush some more . <and phew! the blu ray plays (Oppo 103) >

listened to it twice to-day(love the old spelling!)
in 5.0...

Pretty decent....
Horrible fckng menu though...

On 2nd listen now. This album loves to be cranked up! 1st time through, I had it at a lower level for a more critical listen. Got to The End and had to crank it up! It stayed at that level and sounds better this way!
Yee Haw!!!

ATMOS ONE TIME THROUGH: He's dancing jumping up and down and crying, crying, crying because the bass.....I said Bass....is absolutely sensational....along with the clarity and what seems like infinite space....like a balloon expanding and contracting.........."I've never heard this before."......and I'm crying. They have made this one new.

Yea, I hate menus where the music starts before you get the chance to pick the audio option <grrr>

Let the nit-picking begin

BTW, GORGEOUS SPACE JON........YOU ARE THE MAN!

Yeah Jon, with a space like that, I’d never take it out in the car!

I don't have this yet, but when it came out 50 years ago, I played the record over and over again for months.

It would have been cool to have had a Q8 in the 1970s. I waited, but it never came. So, this release sounds like it more than makes up for that.

Right now, just streaming the extras from paid YouTube music.

One question: does the 5.1 mix have a LPCM option? Thanks.

Only DTS-HD in 5.1

Only DTS-HD in 5.1

Ok, thanks.

Say, everyone, please keep an eye out for good prices and post when you get a chance. I'm sure there are a lot of folks who haven't bought this yet. Thanks.

Mine arrived yesterday.
Atmos knocks me out. Sound field is like as one point microphone recording. DTS 5.1 is more discrete, it's good as multi track experience.
Atmos listening position is more looser (wide sweet spot) than DTS. Try Atmos. Here comes the flood to your room!!

 

[key_wiz]

Wow. These reviews are killing me! My box is sitting here unopened. I won’t have time to listen for another couple of hours. Gotta hurry and finish my work!

Enjoyed my first listen immensely. Very full sound with big bottom. Discrete in places without being overly adventurous. I'm hearing more prominence in drums, Moog and organ than I can can ever remember hearing. And it sounds great loud!

Of course, VERY curious now about Atmos ...

It would be worth getting Atmos especially for this album, let alone all the movies you could hear

Anybody visited the polls yet just wondered how many 10,s we are going to get?.
Also second question for those doing the 5.1 poll how does this compare to The White Album?.
