Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[fizzywiggs41]

oh fizzywizzybizzylizzy!!!! :yikes
please don't mention that bloody Japanese Blu-Spec CD I shelled out an arm and a friggin leg for..!!! that one is so not SQ it hurts!! well at least my copy isn't

afaik every version of the 1st Chase Quad on CD (and the iTunes version.. and I am sure I was told by a QQ-er there are Hi-Res downloads of it somewhere too) is the SQ encoded master.. as for Pure Music, who knows!? meantime, once I get those BGO CDs maybe I will know! probably not but.. its fun to dream!

oh I think I got the info about the Chase stuff on CD being SQ from Mark Anderson's site btw does that sound right?

Fun to dream .......you bet cher britches ! :wave
But more fun lucking out on a QUAD find so hopefully a bum steer she ain't . FWIW--something's happening on those BGO 'S .

As to " who dun it" ?-well I duno but I jumped on it and am equally curious about the Neil Diamond disc , but it's musically not as great as Chase's Ace's .


Now-----Procol Harum's live BBC is one that shocks the shit outta me , if you don't got it , get it !! It's a welcome surprise for SQ , doesn't even sound live !




And FWIW I appreciate your critques of my posted info above all others . You have that unique quadro insight , mostly absent from cynics and critics. :sun

Damn that fizzing-fuzzyness.

what the heck is that...I couldn't help but notice Dieter Dierks name on the back.....he was a big part of Scorpions during their big time (producer)

When I sit back and enjoy the fruits of collecting great surround sound tracks, I feel sad for all the ignorant souls out there who may never experience what we at the QQ experience every night!

Another excellent disc

I did like those Widespread Panic dvd-a's a lot- and read that they were good live - thus resulting in this concert dvd to arrive to my mailbox.

2008 dvd from a concert in 2000, 4:3 picture, typical dvd quality - and Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack. And yes, it's discrete :banana: , nice immersive soundstage with keys and congas in the rears - and good fidelty. Cool audience too

Edit: Now I know why some of the audience looked "cool" - and why there are spider web and pumkins on the stage, it's filmed on Halloween, hehe :banana::banana:

Thanks fizzywiggs.

I will try your suggestions for Yamaha-specific DSP modes this weekend. So far I'm very happy with DPLII-Music. Seems to provide the widest sound stage, and the most discrete instrument placement out of the DPLII modes available.

I also played Chase (S/T) and wow, it is very gimicky, in a sort of good way. The recording quality of this Chase S/T disc is poor, there's a constant hum in the background. Anything to distract from that is welcome

Thanks for the guideance,
Steve (sbrom)

If you find that the settings that you have engaged for SQ playback work best, then stick with what you know . I personally find DPL a bit lacking in my Yammy, so........a DSP adjusment seems to work best---for me .


My Chase (s/t) doesn't emit much in the way of interference but I didn't crank my Yammy so there you go, and shit yes lot's going on with that disc-----I was taken back when I first heard it--incredible I thought .



The Chase-Pure Music quad liner notes, are a happy coincidence --I think.

 

[fizzywiggs41]

were they?! ahh.. i'm sorry i missed that.. maybe one day

indeed! or you could keep it disconnected and flog it to freddums!

Dieter Dierks !!!!????


Well yes Scorpions ., Gene.............but also quad mixed and quad encoded. Many, many, many other mostly German mostly (Omega-Hungarian , Nektar-British) Rock artists on the OHR/METRONOME/COSMIC label and the Bellaphon Bacillus label. (And one Passport title on Atlantic )

Probably close to 50 titles give or take . He's a true QUAD TONMEISTER GENIUS in my books. :upthumb

Grateful Dead-American Beauty. DVDA




A Beauty of a surround mix and sound from "Mickey Hart ". Wished he coulda mixed more Dead albums for surround as this is certainly a fine example of his 5.1 skills.
He did two other DVDA'S his own" Best of "on Ryko/360 and "Workingman's Dead " both fine mixes in their own rite

STEELY DAN-CAN'T BUY A THRILL


QUAD by one of the best Bands from the U.S.

 

[fizzywiggs41]

STEELY DAN-COUNTDOWN TO ECSTACY


AGAIN Quad from one of the best Bands in the U.S.

 

[Spock]

This sounds really great, very nice recording, I only wish that Atom Heart Mother wold have been recorded with the same quality, I love the album but with a DR of 9 (and surely some other issues) it does not sound as good as Meddle

 

[fizzywiggs41]

THE BAND-THE LAST WALTZ. DVDA mixed by Robbie Robertson no less, and it's well done I'd say .

-mostly live with lotz of iconic guest artists whom perform their own works (The Band do all their hits btw)


and some studio 5.1 from the Staples and Emmylou .







This disc is one of my TOP 10 live surround discs .:sun

Allman Brothers live at Fillmore. Blu ray. Excellent sound. Can't say I was familiar with ABbefore getting this package but really enjoying it.

 

[fizzywiggs41]

More Quad music mixed by Dieter Dierks,

Gilles Zeitschiff in SQ quadro, kinda spacy music with the band of Cosmic Kourriers having fun in the studio.











Not quite certain about this title but alot of these older quad Cosmic Courier discs are still available on cd.
