2K Club - QQ Super Nova
The Quad on the immersion box is a modern remaster, with all the junk that implies.
The bootleg DVD version is much better to my ears

It's not the brightness that bothers me here - it's the same problem I have with the '5 Years' Box Set remaster of Bowie's 'Space Oddity' album - the low end hyped up too much.I dunno, a true example of a botched "modern remaster" would be something like Fleetwood Mac's Tusk or Al Stewart's Year Of The Cat. The DSOTM quad on Blu-Ray still has plenty of headroom and isn't bright to the point of fatigue, at least for me.
I find it easier on my system to take things down a bit... than to try and bring out what is lacking.It's not the brightness that bothers me here - it's the same problem I have with the '5 Years' Box Set remaster of Bowie's 'Space Oddity' album - the low end hyped up too much.
Same with my budget Atmos Sony 1080 doesn't like PCM Quad, while my Onkyo TX-NR609 was happy to play QuadMy Denon receiver unfortunately won’t correctly play the 4.0 mix. What’s output is just the front channels and the player indicates it’s 2.0. My old Yamaha receiver was able to play it without any troubles. I’ve tested this with other 4.0 discs I have in PCM and there is definitely an issue with the receiver correctly decoding and not with the blu ray player which correctly indicates it’s playing a 4.0 mix. Has anyone else had similar issues ? The 5.1 track plays with no issues.
This is quite common with AVR’s. Pure 4.0 (quad) PCM tracks are not correctly recognized, and only the front channels play, while the AVR sees it as stereo. Anything in the rears is simply lost.Same with my budget Atmos Sony 1080 doesn't like PCM Quad, while my Onkyo TX-NR609 was happy to play Quad
The problem I had was I forgot to take off The Dark Side of the Moon scarf before putting on The Wall scarf, and then suddenly I was all covered up and then couldn't see the band. But fortunately I broke down the wall.Don't forget to wrap the scarf around your neck clockwise three times - counterclockwise (anti-clockwise) in the southern hemisphere.
