Fizzy, how is the surround mix on Lennon's Walls and Bridges?

Pretty good 4 E. and a few good toonz.
I prefer the music on Imagine but Walls And Bridges is worthy . Mix wise it's slightly better than Imagine.

Landslide is a great song

EWF=Gratitude SACD..

Funny cause I remember this sounding brighter in my Pioneer/JBL system in Madrid but I recorded a sample in 96/24 and found out it had a cutoff at 22K or so...and with my Marantz/Polk Audio I can hear it as it probably is.. doesn't tickle my cillia.. but it's a great disc!!

The Alan Parsons Project Eye in the Sky DTS-HD MA 5.1 96k Blu-ray Disc: Arrived the other day, just now have a chance to give it a spin. So far, so good. Nice use of the surrounds, plenty of low end, crisp vocals and a generally full sounding disc.

SW TTB BDA...
I just realized that I either left my DVDA of HCE back in Madrid or someone stole this disc from my collection...(the former is most likely).. I wanted to listen to HCE...

Both are excellent choices, give 4 1/2 a chance too, short but sweet.

Phase corrected C/LFE channels in Audition CC. Makes for a huge improvement.

Can get a free seven day trial of Audition CC...how easy is it to make the phase corrections to C/LFE

You should be able to easily reverse phase in Audacity (which is freeware), then export as a 6-channel FLAC.

An interesting change of pace in DSD 256 Surround Sound. A full military band in Surround Sound!
Rimsky & Co Originals with the Marine Band of the Royal Netherlands Navy. (DSD Exclusive, Not on SACD release).

Early DSD Stereo & Surround Sound Release!

The Marine Band of the Royal Netherlands Navy brings their fifth DSD Stereo and Multichannel release to the NativeDSD Music store this week. Following their DSD Stereo & DSD Surround Sound recordings of When The Swing Marches On, Plays Sammy Nestico, Letter From Home and Semper Luvenalis on the Aliud label, they have joined Channel Classics with Rimsky & Co Originals.

This is an early release – coming 3 weeks ahead of the date of the Stereo CD edition of the album. It’s available exclusively at NativeDSD Music and is not available on SACD. But it is at the NativeDSD Music store today in Stereo and Multichannel DSD 256, DSD 128, DSD 64 and DXD.

Producer and Recording Engineer Jared Sacks also encourages NativeDSD listeners to "Keep an eye out for future releases with the Marine Band of the Royal Netherlands Navy." That sounds like a very intriguing clue as to what is to come in DSD.

Channel Classics says "As early as the 17th century in the days of Fleet Admiral Michiel de Ruyter, one of the initiators of the Netherlands Marine Corps, music has played an important role in the navy. Transforming from ships’ bands and ensembles into a land-based full-sized orchestra ashore, the Marine Band turned into the all-around musical ambassador of the Royal Netherlands Navy.

The Marine Band of the Royal Netherlands Navy developed an appreciation for Russia and the music of her great composers. As part of the celebrations of 300 years Peter the Great and the jubilee of the city, concert tours to St. Petersburg were made in 1997 and 2003. In 2009 the branch of the Hermitage in Amsterdam was opened with a concert and attended by Queen Beatrix and President Medvedev."

Finally got around to buying dis disc .

And she sounds quite good I think , just as good as all the surround and quad discs available from Gentle Giant.


Gentle Giant - 3 pc suite BLU-RAY dtsma

Hoping Steven Wilson gets around to Freehand , some time soon. Both 5ch and quad editions , of course.

I need to revisit this album... for some reason it’s the only Dan album I don’t ever listen to... time to try again!

Since it seems we will never get ELO in surround...I decided to dig out my ZOOM DVD and rip the audio to my library. The DTS layer was only 5.0, so I opted for the DD 5.1. Both are only 46/24, so no worries there. AT last now, I will be able to more often hear some ELO in surround.... Of course, this is live as you all know...but you also know that Lynne isn't so chatty...so it's really mostly all music with no filler.

I love this album fwiw. It has for me, two standout tracks " Jack Of Speed " and " Cousin Dupree " and of course an excellent surround mix.
Sometimes I'll yank out their live two against dvd-dts and compare surround and performance of those tracks.
To me both the live DVD and studio sound DVDA surround mixes are must owns.

For surround this DVD is top notch , but for some reason I prefer the Early Years DVD as you catch ELO at their pinnacle years . Surround is not that great , but the performances are superior . (at least for me anyways).

Going to have to spin " Zoom Tour "again though . Been awhile .

It's really too bad there isn't more ELO in surround .

I was really hoping for Steven Wilson to take on their early catalog as he has mentioned he would love to hear one of ELO'S discs in his top ten surround picks.
For me , I'd love either a quad or 5.1 version of Eldorado .
