Hi Chris. I was the one from AVS who referred you here. Glad to see you made it. Welcome! Check out the surround polls to see the highly-ranked releases. Click on an album in the poll and it'll take you to the review thread for that album.
Have fun- great community here!
Thank you for the referral! I'm still at the I-don't-know-what-I-don't-know stage, but even on my low-end system, MCH sounds so amazing.
I'm happy for your head and sorry for your wallet. Welcome to QQ!
Thanks! My wallet is sadly used to me finding new and expensive hobbies.
I've already warned it that someday I'm gonna find a copy of the
Farewell to Kings set that includes the BD 5.1 mix.
It's gone into hiding.
Ahoy & welcome aboard, Chris!
Pink Floyd has lead many of us down the path to surround. It would be interesting to hear what faves you have that you discovered since. Oh, and there's a nifty place in your profile to list your gear set up if you want.
My wife is from Chicago & it's the only town besides my own that I've visited enough to sort of know my way around. But my point of reference is always Buckingham Fountain....
My collection, so far, is tiny, and at the moment, everything is packed up as we're renovating.
Wish You Were Here is the standout SACD I have, although
Dark Side of the Moon is awesome too. I got Rush's
Hemispheres, but that's not MCH. I have
2112 sitting in a box, waiting for me to set everything back up. A couple others as well, though I cannot remember them offhand.
I plan on expanding
a lot.
As for the city, embarrassingly I don't know it all that well. The Loop, yeah, but the rest not so much; I've always lived in the suburbs. Well, and I've gone to my share of Cub games, of course.
As for my gear, well, it's a bit cheap; I'd like to do some upgrades, but I've got a lot of learning to do first.
Welcome to our humble cult! It seems like Pink Floyd is most people's gateway drug into surround. Happy to have you here! Just don't forget to attend the weekly congregations where we expose the wrongdoings of mixing engineers who don't have common sense!
Interesting that Pink Floyd is a common gateway drug! Of course, it's a pretty good gateway drug for other things, too.
I will certainly enjoy reading threads about various mixes, but as with everything else surrounding (see what I did?) this topic, I've got a lot to learn before it means much to me.
Thank you to
everyone for the spectacularly warm welcome!
