For the first time since I had my original compact Panasonic quad system back in about 1976 with the CD-4 demodulator built into the turntable, have I heard discrete quadraphonic sound from vinyl like I heard today. The right cartridge, demodulator and nice clean album and....perfection! A special thank you goes out to one of the members of the Old School Quadraphonic Facebook page, (not sure if he's here on QQ) for helping me to acquire the semiconductor cartridge at an extremely reasonable price that makes all the difference in the world.
The Doobie Brothers The Captain and Me sounds pretty fantastic this afternoon, including the quiet passages in Clear As the Driven Snow, the last track on side 1 of the album (and yes, closer to the center, which is always harder to track.)
