Has this link ever been posted? Quite a good write up about the history of Jim Fosgate and the toys he developed.

[FONT="]A year into my new career, a rep brought in an array of electronic components from a small company known as Audionics of Oregon. There were three components; the BT-2 preamp, the CC-2 power amp, and a peculiar piece with the esoteric moniker “Space & Image Composer.” While glancing at the front panel, I noticed an SQ control, and my eyes lit up: Quad![/FONT][FONT="]Quad was about dead by this time (1980), but this interesting device did something far better than decode SQ. It could generate four discrete channels from any two-channel source, and the effect was dramatic. Every record (or soon, CD) in one’s collection was now 4-channel. I sold almost two dozen systems using the Space & Image Composer with accompanying Audionics amps and a preamp, to the delight of my customers. All of them ran out to buy “Dark Side of the Moon” and “Crime of the Century.”[/FONT]
