That bloke needs to see a stereo shrink I think...He clearly wants to like Quadraphonic music the amount he bangs on about it, albeit he doesn’t like it but hasn’t heard it since the 70’s...
Good spelling Ralphie! You clearly know your alphabet from A - Z(ED)
Not if you're colour blind or Deaf, fredB&Weh, did you say SOMETHING?
Sorry Mr Guttenberg I didn’t hear what you were saying...
He most obviously never read the Gutenberg Bible of Quadraphonic Soundhttps://ydn-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com...Schirin-Rangnick-Gutenberg-Bible-DSC_3959.jpg
Or poor Mr. Guttenberg, tired of being called Four Eyes couldn't bear the further ridicule of being called Four Ears! http://audiolifestyle.pl/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/steve-guttenberg-i-am-an-audioph.jpg
The shame of being called 4 Ears!

So my current trollings of the audiophiliac on twitter has me throwing down the challenge of letting me send him some quadraphonic samples to listen to/review. Not exactly sounding promising yet, but I'm persistent, lol...

So....if I put a quadraphonic sampler together, what tracks do you all recommend?
I guess it means he gets them for free for review purposes.Besides, that 'pile' of headphones behind his left shoulder should clue you in that he's probably a headphone geek
Interesting subject. I posted on another thread my feelings towards mch vs stereo. I love stereo because the music I like comes mostly in stereo. Any mch release I purchase and I must say I have some duds because I don't like the music, but like last year when the XTC surrounds came out I was an instant fan of XTC. But I also have a guilt complex, when I listen to surround I feel compelled to sit and listen to the mch release the way it is supposed to be listened to, which is unrealistic for me, not good too sit for lengthy periods of time. I do like a quality stereo release, turning up and letting it fill the house as I do random chores, etc. I will continue to purchase and listen to mch releases and stereo releases. I have to believe I am the norm even in a surround forum. Didn't Alan Parsons say audiophiles listen to there rigs in order to be critical of a release vs listening to the music. C'mon Ralphie, lay it on thick.
You betcha, Markie: In order to properly listen to surround, you have to invest in a comfy recliner chair.....and the back shouldn't be too high as to obstruct hearing the rears. You should have a drink cup built into your recliner with wifi, etc. so you can get shit faced without having to get up and replenish the beverage or have a silent exhaust fan over your head to suck up the fumes from the joint/pipe/hookah. No one else should be in the room to divert your attention away from the MUSIC. If you're listening in stereo.......fuck those DSP modes.......they're bullshit. Stereo should be played in Stereo so that all the recorded energy is directed to those front speakers and not scattered around the room.
And most importantly, you shouldn't invest in music you have NO passion for. Take it from one who knows. I have a lot of bullshit music, surround and/or stereo that I thought I'd like .....but didn't.
Rather, spend that money on upgrading your equipment.
An audiophile's work is never done......there's always improvements that can be made.
When all else fails........take up mountain climbing or skateboarding ....a few broken bones never hurt anyone!but whatever you do, do take care NOT to fracture your penis; a penis in a sling is a useless ding~a~ling!
