[kap'n krunch]

VLC thru my rig ...love how my JBLs sound!

ELP-Trilogy...very lucky to get a MINTY Island LP pressing...best sound ever

Tears For Fears-Sowing the seeds of Love....here ClickRepair came to the rescue...a NM but clicky Fontana UK pressing...and I though it was an all analog disc, HA!!!

 

[kap'n krunch]

on DPL II MOVIE setting---

another big fat vote for yes' "Close to the edge" from the MFSL LP 96/24 ..whew----- 8/10 decoding to quad score

and for WB US LP Pressing at 96/24 pf Lowell George's "Thanks , i'll eat it here", 9/10



basically what most pros do..bass, drums, featured gtrs, vox in front in the front stereo pair...(heavy stuff)

back vox. brass , synths, gtrs, synths and some slapbacks on the rear stereo pair.(complimentary parts)

the Warner CD of Lowell George's "Thanks I'll Eat it Here" (UPC - 7599-26755-2) pans out really really nicely in DPLII Music..!

And , on top of that , it's a very special album..very intimate, in a way...
Yes, the panning on this is TOPS! almost like a REAL Surround mix....

High time we made a stand, shake up the views of the common man.

Fanatic - Heart CD 5/10 Musically, this is dull.

Sunken Condos - Donald Fagen CD :yikes 10/10 Yes, Virginia, I have a copy. I'll be surprised if any disc tops this one for album of the year. Sparkling fidelity and perhaps his best since Nightfly. Absolutely wonderful.


Concord Picante 4 CD 4-10/10 compilation. Mas caliente.


The Devil Made Me Buy This Dress - Rickie Lee Jones CD 6/10

 

[Quad Linda]

Van the Man still can CD 8/10
Wow! You gotta hear this if you have any love for him. Perhaps his most jazzy album ever. A true joy to behold.

Al Jarreau & Metropole Orkest Live CD 6/10 mediocre performance, sounds like he's losing his chops

oh, oh, OH..!!

Sunken Condos in PLII is wonderful..!!

Sacrilegious as this may be (even pains me to say it!) I'm not sure if the lack of a proper discrete 5.1 is such a letdown on this album..!?

There must be TONS of out of phase info because it pans out like a melonfarmer in surround when put through ProLogic..!!

"I'm not the same without quad now"

 

[Quad Linda]

IMHO, it is that dull. Perhaps I OD'on Heart, listening to 4 discs in a row. I did love the last one, Red Velvet Car. I also love the demos and unreleased early songs on the box set.

OH NO!! I've heard SO many good things about Heart's new album. is it really that dull, QL..!?

 

[Quad Linda]

All I Got isn't one of my favorite SACD's or albums, although it's not anywhere near as bad as Metropole Orkest. I liked his DVD-V (audio only) 5.1 on Monster with Benson (McCartney guests.)
