Hello Linda,

UD-4 discs are very rarely and I have been for 20 years on the hunt. Meanwhile I owe 21 UD-4 discs for the Denon UDA-100 demodulator. Attached you will see a list of a known UD-4 discs and some of my collection

182 Tonstudio 2011.jpgNow I will show pictures of more basic wiring diagrams, which I need for troubleshooting in the very complicated wiring. Therefor for you see my 2 home cinemas and the sound studio. The Lexicon MC-12 Digital Controller (in the middle of the racks) operates with 75 devices! Ca. 25 belong to the vintage stereo collection (left behind401 Lautsprecher 2011 Lexicon.jpg home cinema 2) , 25 to the home cinema 1 and 25 to the sound studio which you can see on the right side of the panorama picture. The last diagrams shows the wiring of 13 loudspeakers and 4 subwoofers in the 9.4 home cinema 1.

Best regards

Wow Just Wow :)

Good evening from Germany,

the wiring diagrams seems to be not understandable. But for me it's the only way to find problems within this huge "spider net". The TV on the left side is an UHDTV. With the support of an Oppo blu-ray player with 2 HDMI inputs I can upscale all sources like sat/cable receiver or other HDMI sources to UHD with 3840x21060 pixel. Very soon I will buy a Samsung HDD with 8 UHD movies and 32 UHD documentations, which I can play back on the TV in 1:1 UHD quality. Hopefully next year UHD blu-rays will be offered. Attached you will see pictures from the UHD home cinema 2.

Best regards

Hello proufo,

thank you for the comment and the picture.

Collections grown up over decades become the problem of limited space. Having just bought 1 more super decoder the quadro collection must come to an end. Other collections like home cinemas need hardware upgrade from time to time. So the work does not end.

Attached you see pictures of the quad decoder with its rare remote control unit.

Best regards

Ah, but Quadro King, your quad buying journey may not be over. There is one more super decoder now. The Involve Audio Surround Master. and Surround Master with SQ. Have you read about it yet or have one?

Yes I know this astonishing Australian decoder (both versions). Some quad friends in Germany have bought it. Their tests sound very good. But keep in mind, that for all my quad collections I can use super decoders. I am more interested in vintage than in new ones. Even the Ruehmer QS decoder uses old Sansui chips. End of the month I expect the Fosgate Tate II A-101 with wired remote control, which I have just bought in the USA. And new collections I could only install in the toilette, in the bathroom or in the cellar. What a pity!! :yikes:((n). These pictures about the decoder are in my archive.

Best regards

My 18 year old son has learned how to play lead guitar. He is very, very good. Once he reached a certain level of ability, I told him to not let it go to his head because there is always a faster gun just around the corner. Be confident, but don't be cocky. Quadro King, you can go ahead and be cocky. There is no one else around the corner that is going to beat you. You are the king.

Hello dgreen,

thank you for you kind comment. But I owe "only" the biggest collection in Europe after having started in 1972. In the USA there lives the "emperor of the world". He was the one from whom I could buy rare vintage quad devices and ultra rare UD-4 records. I think you have seen all the pictures in my thread. This is the opportunity to show now more of my software. I will begin with cd-4 test records.

Best regards

Is the "emperor of the world" on this forum?
 
I suspect he means Nick Perugini, aka Quadfirst. Do I get a prize if I guessed right?:cool:

Hello Q8,

when you are in the quad scene for decades, it's not a problem to find out who the "Emperor" must be. I do not hesitate to admire you for your cleverness. This is the opportunity for me to show some of my 104 q4 tapes. At the beginning without internet in 1972 it war nearly impossibly to buy prerecorded Q4 tapes in Germany. I had only one from Columbia which was by packed to my first "Neckermann" tape deck. Although my main interest in classical music I show here u-music for the cummunity.

Best regards

Great images. The Sony Q4 sampler is rare. Sony Japan released a jazz title or two on Q4 reels.

The Jean Jacques Perry is spectacular. Along with Country Joe & the Fish, it is one of the first things I heard in Quad. Two radio stations in Chicago simulcast a Quad FM broadcast when I was in high school. One channel broadcast the fronts, while the other broadcast the rears. I brought my Dad's gear into my bedroom and was wowed. I was HOOKED!

Hello Quad Linda,

I have also the Q4 Country Joe & the Fish. But many of my Q4's present classical music. I have also 14 more Q4's with Enoch Light and his orchestra. Broadcast tests in quad in Europe were only made in Switzerland for a short time. Between 1971 and 74 an other test between TV and a Bavarian FM broadcast station in Stereo had also been made. At that time I also was wowed.

Attached you see some of my 76 8 track Cassettes.

Best regards

One thing that is missing is the Sony SQE-2000 SQ Encoder - I use it for some home recording with my neighbours band.....

Hello surteess,

thank you for your remarks. I have the Sony SQD-2020 Decoder and I have never intended make records with any matrix encoder. I have done it only in pure discrete 4 channels. So there was no need to have encoders in my collection. But Nick Perugini in the USA has them all I think. By the way Dietrich Raesch in Hamburg produces DVDs Audio in 4.0 technology.

Attached you will see some other matrix technologies except SQ and QS.

Best regards

This is definitely a lesson in "how to connect gear" properly.
I'd have thought of creating a patch bay and having a console mixer for all the gear , but , since you do not need the busses and EQ, etc. it'd not be practical....I'm still trying to wrap my head around how your connections work...
You have more gear than any studio I've worked in -and probably some of the biggest studios....as in pieces, because most of the gear you have is for playback , not recording (well, yes you have MANY recording devices too but the most channels you can record at the same time is 8 , unless you have a synch machine for you 2 ADATS )...

Thank you for sharing your Kingdom with us !
Most of us are gear fans!!!

I'll guess you live in a house with not a lot of neighbors close to you...

Cheers!

Hello kap'n krunch,

thank you for your statement. I have started the collection in 1972 and increased it "dramatically" beginning 1987. These were so to say the analog times with analog switching boxes. I use ca. 40 for cinch and loudspeaker connections. I and do not intend to replace them because of the vintage character of all devices. But the system works with my principle wiring diagrams and the labels for each knob of them. The wiring diagrams I have already showed. Now you will see a number of these analog switching boxes mostly in stereo. So for Quadro I use always 2 of them. More pictures will follow.

Best regards
