There was two different types of quad.


In the early 1970s they would play the quad version of Dark Side Of The Moon really loud in Planetariums with laser shows on the ceiling, all the seats were leaning back so you could look up at the show. I went to that once.

 
yup, they're SQ and CD-4.  my only quad LP is jefferson airplane....it's CD-4 and i've never played it, i don't have the gears.  i've never heard the cosmic jokers, if you like it i'll have to check out an album (if i can find a CD copy LOL).  nowadays, DSP decoders sound very, very good even with 2-channel source...but nothing beats a well done true multichannel mix.  the metallica dvd-A has some amazing moments in the mix that don't sound the same if simply up-sampling the 2-channel version of the album.
 
they still do those planetarium shows (or at least did in the late 80's), when i was a teenager we used to go see them...trippy stuff

Quad headphones. You wonder if gaming headphones could match up to the 4 channel headphones of years gone by?

Stay away from Surround Sound headphones. I had a pair and they are not great.:rolleyes:

Yep, better to use a surround sound audio processor and/or software with a good pair of headphones.

Galactic Supermarket was an album made for folks to trip to. It extended the high. Though not for all listeners in a normal metal state.:rolleyes:

The definitive Krautrock documentary. Amazing Harmonia's studio still in one piece being built in 74.

^^^^^appreciated

I think Fotis Bernardo from Septicflesh might be an underappreciated drummer. Look how stupid tight andintricate he is live! Flawless performance.
 
This was at the concert I was at, too!

Also, I am so psyched for this Spectral Lore/Nachtreich split:
 

 
If nothing else, the bits from 3:20-7:17 are whats got me hyped. True intersection of black metal and classical elements. I always love it when a band (or bands, in this case) do it right.

On a completely unrelated note, that Magni/Modi combo is nice in that office, right?

Oh hell yeah. I love it. Makes everything sound brutal on every pair of headphones and it takes up barely any desk space. It's a beautiful thing indeed.
