Quads are really a gimmick. Basically they were for analog, what DTS,
Dolby Surround, and DVD Audio are for digital. A way to perhaps get a
few more thousand copies sold, of LP's that the public already had in
stereo format.

Almost never will studio musicians sit in a circle and play their
instruments together, with a mic in the middle. They use 24 track
machines to layer and overdub- one track and instrument and vocal at a
time- then mix it into a song. snip

He's right here, although 24 track has been obsolete for years.

The same goes for live shows. The band is up on the stage, their PA
system is up front, facing the audience. A very few bands, i.e. Yes,
ELP, and Led Zeppelin- used quad concert sound PA systems in the early
1970's- because at the time quad was in. But by late-1970's quad was
already dead, it never DID take off. snip

True.

When you listen to quad, you completely lose the stereo soundstage and
holographic imaging built into stereo. It becomes 4 boxes blasting
sound out, that's all. Lame. snip

Some classical releases were indeed recorded in 4 track "quad" with
real time mic pickup, since orchestras always (usually) perform "live"
in a session.

This is why guys like Winnard and Lennonfan peddled off all their
quads- I was posting here that anyone with a quad collection should
sell it right quick, before the public wakes up and the tapes become
devalued. They finally realized quad is a joke. It actually sounds
like **** compared to stereo 8's. Listening to quad sounds like you
are listening to 2 or 3 different stereos at one time. snip

I dunno about this.

If you are into surround format, just get a machine with SACD and DVD-A
surround ability, like a Pioneer from Best Buy for around $150, and be
done with it. snip

True again.

But even digital surround is inferior to analog stereo, FWIW. Analog
stereo using a tube amp, playing vinyl records, is the Cadillac of
recorded sound, followed by reel and stereo 8 carts. Cassettes belong
in the gutter. CD's are for people who are in a hurry all the time. snip

Now he's gone of the deep end again, sort of like Pat Buchanan. There
are times when you just start to think that Buchanan's making sense,
and all of the sudden he goes bonkers. Same effect here.

Um, "Smoggy" is sounding a lot like Nudo here. I'm referring to:

*Bashing Lennonfan and John
*Using phrases like "before the public wises up" (Nudo uses the words
"the public" A LOT.)
*It's anti-Quad.

I got a Doobie Brothers Q8 today- forget the title. Now I'm looking
for a Quadrasonic unit for my car. :-D Nope, not a Doobie fan- not
even sure I've heard anything by them- but I'm ITCHING for the Doors
"Best of" on Q8.

Yep- Smoggy is ****dip. I noticed this one:

*He uses the tell-tale "word-space-punctuation" in his posts. Jesus,
he can't even "blind-post" properly!!

Eye roll... laughter...

All you need to do is look at the NNTP posting host in the header on
any suspected Noodles post. They all come from Epix, no matter what
trash email account he uses at the time. He's not bright enough to
know what that means.
