Never had any luck decoding CD~4 vinyl so out of frustration I invested in a TEAC 2340SX QUAD Open Reel Recorder with matching AN~300 Dolby B decoder! Problem was, Columbia Records, out of diehard commitment to their SQ matrix system, refused to release QUAD Open Reels [Only Q8] coupled with the fact that QR releases were sparse, at best and akin to the 70's QUAD 'revolution' likewise fizzled out prematurely.
And after hearing Rhino's recent Doobies Brothers QUADIO boxset on 192/24 BD~A, we, at QQ Forum, need to petition Warner/RHINO to release more of their excellent QUAD masters in that format because nothing, NOTHING approaches the sublime excellence of hearing those original QUAD analogue masters 'liberated' from all previous VINYL, QR, Q8 'limitations!'
TIME TO MAKE SOME NOISE, QQers!
