Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[Hamilton59]

This afternoon it’s...

Jethro Tull - Aqualung

 

[GOS]

Hell yes, I think this one rocks! If you have some doubt, you really need to grab your knob......yes, turn it up. lmao

 

[GOS]

This is easily my favorite song on the disc. And, it might honestly rank in my all time favorite Styx songs. I think this is as good as it gets. What? This is a 2018 release? It easily could be in the mid 70's! Which, is a good thing.

Who did the 5.1 mix on this one? Asking for a friend.

here's the whole rundown:

still taking my listening cues from my QQ comrades:

[Cibola]

Thumbs up, sort of. Didn't budge during The Raven or The Tell Tale Heart. I do believe Julio might not have the best hearing, probably related to his overall mutant status.

 

[Cibola]

David Bowie David Live DVD-A 5.1 MLP 48k 24b: I don't spin this very often, seem to remember it takes a while to settle into a groove, if ever. Not sure. Edit: Nice transition with Sweet Thing, blue eyed soul at its best.

 

[4-earredwonder]

Joshua Bell, Violin/Michael Tilson Thomas conducting the Berliner Philharmoniker TCHAIKOVSKY [SONY/Multi~CH SACD 5.1]

 

[Cibola]

Now we're we're talking, Mark Knopfler shangri-la DVD-A 5.1 MLP 96k 24b: enveloping, crisp surround. Though I understand some experience intermittent narcoleptic disorder when spinning Mark.

still taking my cue QQ . . . cue

David Bowie Stage
POLL

 

[user 1679]

Ricik Wakeman - 6 Wives of Henry VIII

 

[Sal1950]

Probably obvious...but when you listen to the SACD compared to the LP.......what are the major differences in sound quality?

Seriously ???

 

[Clement]

been working so far . . . ima continuing riding the QQ cue!

POLL

 

[Clement]

i continue on the QQ cue journey

Rick Wakeman Journey to the Centre of the Earth
POLL

A GREAT album but try playing it in 96/24 STEREO instead. IMO, it sounds much better as it WAS a Silverline UPMIX.

Some folks here liken those Silverline’s to
“Old Fart Grundle stench du jour.”

https://www.discogs.com/Monty-Alexander-My-America/release/9259490Great music and mix.
In fact I don't think I have one duff Telarc release in this format.

This is one of best examples of controlled, well balanced, well mixed and mastered, true low frequency content recording that I have ever heard in my studio. If you want something to "hear" how well (or not) you have the room under control and what resolution your systems low end has, try this. Of course you'll have to hear it once on one that does have these in spades to know what your are missing. Great dynamics as well. When I'm explaining low end resolution, room modes, and "what bass is really in the content", I reach for this to play for the neophytes right after I have played their favourite recording. Their heads usually look like a scene from a horror movie, almost turning around 360. Ha, ha. A picture may be worth a thousand words but Montys worth a thousand demos. Cheers from Canada. Stay well.
