You should check out the Dutton Vocalion website. They have 2 SACD’s that might interest you. They are “Sextant” by Herbie Hancock and “Giant Box” by Don Sebesky. For each of these releases there are some tracks for which the original quad tapes no longer existed, so Michael Dutton included...

3D SoundShop Omega. You won’t be sorry.

This one, as you know, is out of print and selling for serious money on the used market (74 USD on Amazon and 127 USD on discogs). I envy you guys.

It goes without saying but make sure to back up the data on your SD cards. This is especially important for PRIR and HPEQ files.

That’s quite the eclectic curriculum!

John, what is she teaching you today? 😉

Used A16’s do occasionally come up for sale.

Sorry to hear that the A16 isn’t doing it for you. I am surprised to see that you don’t use it for Blu Rays or for Dolby Atmos or Auro 3D. There’s been a considerable uptick in available music content in those formats. My wife once asked me why I read mostly nonfiction. I told her that it was a...

Technically speaking, it did “work,” but the 800 series had world’s better soundstage that really made the “out of the head” experience far more enjoyable.

Totally agree. I had an HD600 that didn’t work for me when paired with the A16. I picked up a used HD800 and never looked back. I’d say that(assuming that you’re not looking to buy new), that a gently used HD800 or HD800s would be the way to go. As everyone knows, it’s awesome for soundstage...

John, are you sending them a “universal” HPEQ?

That’s absolutely awful; I feel for you. Do you have access to an HDMI setup as an alternative?
