It's fun to get updated versions of things you have in earlier formats. I hope to see Linda's disc collections and system before I croak.

So do I!! Lol!!

A sickness I've had for 66 years. and I'm 69. Will you all get to see it? At least some of it. Probably most. Eventually. Likely when my Husband buries me and offers most of it for sale.

Over 500 each of Quads & 5.1. Over 20,000 RBCD & Over 5000 2ch/mono LP's. All or part of 5 rooms.

4 modern 7.1/5.1 systems. Two have CD-4, Ortofon MC & AT Shibata or fine line.
All have Quad decoders/synth inboard and/or outboard.

One in laundry room is Onkyo 5.1 running 2ch w/Yamaha CD carousel. No room for more Polk S10 speakers! Hey, it replaced a boom box.

Three Quad receivers. Marantz is connected w/Q8, cassette deck, VCR, 78 only setup conical on Dual 1019, DVD-A and 4 Philips 12" 3-way.

2 Sansuis 6500 (CD-4) & 5500 to be refurbished if/when needed.

Main system preamp needs to be replaced w/Atmos preamp. Not sure where the other speakers would go . Need 4k player, too.

No brag, FACT.

My final request: to spin it all just one more time.

OK, I don't really own any of this stuff. Must be all in my mind... LOL!!

 

[Muppet69]

I just received a copy of Floyd’s Animal’s 5.1 SACD. Got it from elusive disc after waiting fruitlessly for Amazon.ca to stock it.
I can’t even begin to compete with Quad Linda and I’ve been collecting since I was 7 or 8 and I’m now 54!

Amazon UK posted Giancarlo Erra's, [2021] Departure Tapes (CD/DVD-A combo) a few days ago: -

The DVD-A is very easy to back-up as it's not encrypted...

I’ve been collecting for that long, too, although I didn’t have the advantage of working for CBS, and when I was 12, we moved and my mother gave away all my records (admittedly I didn’t buy them myself). If I have any family left when I go, I suspect that my 1300 or so LPs will go to a used record store at less than $1 each. And my collection of EVR films will be trash.

 

[Quad Linda]

I actually worked for an independent dealer before CBS. I was just thinking of the many RCA CD-4's I got promos of there. Our RCA rep called on us for both TV & blank tape. He was formerly my manager when I was his assistant.

Didn't get many SQ promos at CBS. I was a little too late other than some single inventory promos. Lots of others, though.

RCA CD-4 promo's, though I'm forgetting a few I'm sure:

Hair, Volunteers, Clayton-Thomas, Schmilsson, 3 vol Tchaikovsky Greatest Ballets, Montenegro's Diamonds, Friends Greatest, And I Love Her So - Como

A few hundred of my collection are promos. The other thousands took/still take cold hard cash.

Barfle I feel for you. My tragic story is during one household move my stepfather threw away most of my stuff including my Beatles trading cards.....I had quite a few of them. Only 2 cards got saved because they were in an old wallet.

 

[mandrix]

I had, not a huge quad collection, but a pretty good start on one when I got divorced in 1976. I managed to escape with a few SQ and CD-4 LP's which I still have. But all the Q8's and the deck I lost. My ex hid the music LP's and tapes from me even though she had little interest in them other than sticking it to me. Hundreds of standard stereo LP's but they were as much hers as mine I suppose, although I bought most of them.
I did manage to get my Thorenz TT, Infiniti 1001 speakers, Kenwood Quad AVR (with internal CD-4 module), Kenwood cassette deck. That still left her with plenty of music playing equipment, and music.
I never rebuilt my Quad collection after that and for other reasons and eventually sold all my gear a few years later.

The decades go by until my present wife surprised me when I returned home from work one day to find a brand spanking new Sony 5.1 AVR, a TT, a CD player, a sub and 5 small speakers. I had been collecting a few DTS-CD's and talked now and then wistfully about my old Quad system and how I missed having surround music.
The rest, as they say is history. The living room is chock full of racks of discs. Although my wife is not really a big music fan, she got me back on the righteous road and glory of surround.

What a gal. Third time's the charm, they say, and for both of us, and we've been married for about 28 years now.

 

[Quad Linda]

Second time worked for me. 20 years the first time. He's a music nut, too. Today is our wedding anniv. In June, we'll celebrate 10 years together.

My CD/LP etc collection beats his, but he has HUNDREDS. He has me beat on DVD/BD movies. Nearly all mine are music. I've got a couple more there, too.

He has no 78's, SACD, DVD-A, DTS CD, jazz, classical, opera, Q8, CD-4, matrix, etc. He's learned to dig much classical and jazz. He will watch an opera with me, but is more interested in the women.

Getting off on a few tangents. Perhaps we better stop...

Actually six years. 10 together.

 

[mandrix]

Funny how life goes. But music will always be there for some of us, in some form or fashion. I got by for years with a cheap (stereo) AVR and TT that was overpriced by a few hundred dollars in a pretty little cabinet with a glass door to help rebuild my credit after my ex helped , er, destroy it completely. Well at least I was able to play my Quadrophenia and early Fleetwood Mac albums. Still digging on Kirwan and of course Peter Green.

The records that got given away were all children’s records - stuff like “Ballad of Davy Crockett” and “Little Grass Shack,” “Tweet Tweet Tweety” and stuff that’s not too hard to find on line, and probably more listenable that what a ten-year-old was willing to care for. I’ve gotten over it, but it took a few years.

BTW I have no idea exactly how big my music collection is now, but it's all ripped to .iso (when possible) and resides on my music machine, my main pc, which now has 16 drives connected to a SAS/SATA Pcie board. I still have 6 open SATA slots on the motherboard itself, and the SAS board can be expanded with a backplane, though I don't know where I would put all the drives!. So 11 HDD's, 5 SSD's, and an NVMe boot drive on the motherboard.
Anyway well north of 1000 discs...that's probably a really conservative estimate looking around the living room racks. lol. I guess it would be easy enough to count on the pc ...one day.

The machine has dual copies on separate HDD's of everything save the larger BD's, of which I have copies on smaller HDD's sitting up on a shelf. All are music, no movies as I don't collect them although i do collect concert BD's, crappy sound or not.

The last sacd was Peter Gabriel 'Up'. Finally ran across a very fair price and grabbed it quick~ WE are so fortunate. Friends since 11. Married at 18. Coming up on 41 years married. Beautiful kids and grandbabies. And we all love music a LOT too.
