Ever had your consciousness raised? Eat a quality hamburger and imagine your next trip to the drive-through. Sawdust!
Most don't know/care about Quad/5.1. Competing formats have done it a HUGE disservice. A quagmire! Quad had far better promotion and visibility than SACD/DVD-A/Dual Disc, etc. ever had! Lots more MC titles, too! A GF born in 1970 knew about Quad before meeting me. Perhaps they'll finally get it right with Blu-Ray!?!
Quad is a pain to operate. With a wired remote, my Marantz requires more getting up to be changed than either of my kids. SQ/QS/synth from 2ch/mono/CD-4. Power up the 4DD5, flip to radar, switch to disrete input. On second thought, power it all down, 'cause now I need a nap! At least 5.1 auto switches based on software and/or inputs. "Hey, does side 2 use the same decoding/demogitating format as side 1?"
Computer speakers, earbuds, HTIB (home theater in a box) have brought low-fi to millions. At the other end, few monobloc tube amp owners are doing Q/5.1. Both are off-topic, though only slightly. I'D RATHER LISTEN TO HIGH-END 2CH THAN 5.1 HTIB! Blasphemer! High end Q/5.1 is the most fun you can have with your clothes on!
"P*ssywhipped?" NOT ME! My spouse and partners understood my need for Quad/5.1/CD/LP/equipment was stronger than for fashion, salons and SHOES!! BTW, Kap'n, have you considered changing your motto to "at your cervix, ma'am"?
