New member here due to XRayTonyB recommendation. I repaired and refurbished a Sansui QR-4500 several years ago. Would like to find another similar model to repair and thought this forum might be helpful.

Quisp & Quake both originated from the Quaker Oats plant right here in Cedar Rapids IA! Like Captain Crunch, they'd rip the roof of your preteen mouth raw no matter how long you let them soak in milk!

Hello, my name is Europa Endlos, I'm 26 and I live in northern Europe!
Though I have no surround setup due to a lack of space and funds, I've been purchasing surround Blu-rays for a few years, and hope to one day be able to have this setup.
For now, it's just my Emotiva BasX TA-100, Vincent SV-232, and a pair of JBL L100Ts, which sound great with the right music.

My interest in surround started right around what I believe was a few years after The Alan Parsons Project's "Eye in the Sky" was released on Blu-ray, and hearing the increase in detail and liveliness from the surround remix made me think that this format was worth pursuing.
My Dad has a surround system, so I've had the chance to listen in surround from time to time, inadequate as it is.
Since this time, I've acquired all of the XTC surround Blu-rays, and will be going to see Steven Wilson on "The Overview" tour with my family later this year, which will be the first time for me.

Hi de ho!

New member here. I joined to try to maximize the ELS 3D system in my Acura TLX, but I can already see me getting sucked in on home EQ as well....

It's only money!

Hi everyone
I found out about this forum searching for info regarding the Involve Audio Master Surround and decided to open an account.
Since I know nothing about surround (nor audio, nor life itself for that matter) I am really looking forward to learn a lot here
Greetings from Madrid!

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

In the early 80's my cable provider only offered mono audio on the main channels. For a price per month you rent an adapter box that simulcast stereo audio from such as HBO to an FM radio. Pretty soon thereafter Dolby stereo became the standard for TV audio and with it came the ability to carry Dolby matrix surround. Today you can get many sources with discrete surround sound, 5.1 on Netflix & 7.1 on Fandango. I fail to comprehend what simulcasting would bring to improve on this.

The problem isn't technology, the problem is that classical music performances are so very hard to find on TV, main stream or streaming. Netflix has many musicals and movies about classical music, but no performances that I can see. You might want to check out: https://www.medici.tv/en

Core memory unlocked! I can remember a concert or two (vaguely) that had FM simulcast on one of the local FM stations. PBS maybe? Can't remember. But, nothing like hearing that concert in stereo on my parents' Sansui.
