Hi everyone
I am from Edinburgh. I don't have a surround setup but hope to in the future. I have bought several of the SDE blu rays.

Hi!

I am a AV hobbyist, with experience in codecs and media.

I came here following the infos that I could find about MMH.

Thanks for all the effort!

Hello Quadramaniacs!

New here, but I am a LONG time vintage audio collector. I run my own YouTube channel, same as my forum name. I came here seeking someone well versed in Quadraphonic knowledge, lore, history, etc.

We have several knowlegeable members. I’ve been a quad listener since the 1970s. I’ve seen several links to old technical articles posted here, so it’s worth asking or searching.

Quadraphonic sound appeared in ~1970 [RCA Q8 tapes], quad faded away in ~1977 and came back in ~1983 [then called surround sound].


IMHO, both Audio and High Fidelity mags were pro-quad, Stereo Review mag was lukewarm on quad, 2 issues of High Fidelity mag (kinda about the change from using the name quadraphonic to surround sound):

Greetings. I've just begun indulging in albums mixed in Dolby Atmos.

I've collected and watched a lot of movies in Dolby Atmos and overall it's been an underwhelming experience. Even the most revered releases features very little action in the height speakers. I've realized, that I simply want sound all around me all the time, and I find this much easier to achieve through albums.

Good day, everyone! I've some minor experience with codecs and numerous quadraphonic setups. I love 3-D movies and surround sound. I am a LaserDisc collector.

(That felt like introducing myself in elementary school. )

Thanks!

Saying hello. Off to reply to a thread that caught my eye.

We have many common interests! I put up with lousy blacks on my TV because the 3D is so good!

Finally taking steps to get Atmos capability, although I’m pretty sure my LaserDiscs won’t tickle those drivers. I have a lot of concerts, ballets and operas on Laser that I sure don’t see available on the smaller discs.

Hey all, excited to be a part of the community! In the process of converting my 9.1.4 system to a custom built larger space now and looking forward to contributing some recommendations and soaking in some of yours at the same time.

Cool name Mr. QCQ. Loving my LD's as well.

I used to have a small LD collection back in the day. I’m guessing that most LD owners have two players. Otherwise, it’s a very sad day when your player succumbs to the inevitable(usually a motor failure?). The large disc platter used to concern me as an unavoidable design issue.

My favorite LD was “The Louvre.”

Welcome QuadCity! I too share your 3D mania, and I strive to keep my 3D rig wheezing along despite its current disfavor & forced obsolescence. My frontline AV system is 7.1, and that just has to be good enough because I'm not going to tear up ceilings again to struggle getting more speaker wire run & speakers hung. I clench my jaw and wonder why there's not even ONE mfr that won't continue making a 3D 65" flatscreen just to claim the niche of die-hards like ourselves who will claw our way across the rope bridge to keep 3D (& quadraphonic) viable in our AV lives! Welcome!

OK I call myself OneEye apparently that's what my last name is if you're a viking.

I would like to see symphonies in at least quad simulcast on stereo TV and one or several FM radio stations. Not really interested in 3DTV but might be if you can simulcast it to home TV

I’m not sure if it claimed to be quad, but I have an old SVHS hi-fi recording of Beethoven’s 9th from when Guilini took over the LA Phil.
