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):
