    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    Donald Fagen - Morph The Cat (DVD-A)

    Got the tubes all warmed up and the rig is sounding so good tonight. I absolutely love grooving to some well recorded music.

    Are you aware this was recorded with something called QSound.

    QSound was around in the 90's. It was a quasi-surround/soundstage expanding effect done during the final mixdown.

    Here is some info on QSound:

    http://www.qsound.com/technology/3d-audio.htm

    http://www.qsound.com/spotlight/users/recording-artists.htm

    I doubt it is used much today...At least I'm not awarey of anything new.

    I haven't noticed on anything recent. Q sound is fun if it is used judiciously.

    I think they are focusing on software for laptop, desktop and mobile device applications...primarily for gaming and video enhancement.

    Side 2 is so good (especially "Tupelo Honey" and "Moonshine Whiskey"), it is getting a repeat play this evening!
