Well at the weekend I met up with one of my two Australian cousins (& his wife) who had come over to the UK for the first time. We'd never met, and had only spoken twice I can remember, once when my Uncle his Dad died, and the 2nd when my Dad died (his Uncle). So over a few beers we discovered a common interest in music, some of the same bands/artists, and somewhere along the line I mentioned as a student I'd built a Quad decoder in the late 70s, and was now listening to Quad/5.1 music with a modern set-up. So my cousin suddenly went what you're into Quad! (he's 2 years older). So it turns out he'd saved up his paper round money, got his mother to be a guarantor on a loan, and had bought a Quad set-up in the early 70s! Sadly he doesn't have it anymore, or even any Quad or surround music, but we had a few more beers talking about all the Quad albums & equipment we'd wished we had bought @: g So is surround genetic or is it we're just of the same era?!
