Rapid question: the DVD-Audio of "Billion Dollar Balies" is a new mix or is the quad version on a new media? If new mix, how it compares with the old quad ...
I have noticed some odd things with certain Q8's. Maybe you guys have noticed this. It seems like some of the earlier ones were "made into quad" by taking the ...
Hmmmm, we've already noted this phenom of "quad" 8's being actually just double stereo on some Carol Kings. Hmmmm what do they have in common? Herb Alpert. The...
You will notice that these are all A&M releases. One of their subsidiaries, Ode, also was such an offender. Their SQ lps used the same masters as the Q8s, ...
Hi, I have posted pictures of the QSD-2 innards for those who are interested. If anyone has a service manual for these things, I would appreciate a copy of the...
Has anyone else had problems playing these discs on their players? They all start fine, but often fail to play the second track, and directing them to play a...
I haven't had any real problems with these discs. However, I have noticed that skipping from one track to the next takes an annoyingly long time. I haven't ...
Wow, wow, wow!<br><br>I just stumbled upon Wendy Carlos' website! It is very well done, and seems to have been written entirely by Walt.. er, Wendy ...
Satisfy my admittedly morbid curiousity...I would imagine a sex change happened here? If so, when? Not mentioned in the biography. Every reference to SOB says ...
The sex-change was sometime in the late 70's to early 80's. Virgil Fox also had one around the same time against medical advice ("too old") and died from...
I've bought most of what has come out on dvd-a, and it's been very smooth operating on all except these Silverline releases. I highly recommend the Doors' "LA...
I'm not sure of the specifics, but I do know that initial issues of Wendy's earlier works were credited to Walter Carlos. At whatever point she started calling...
Apparently, it's a Taboo topic to talk about on her website. There is a section there "on prurient matters" that bounces around the whole topic, but dares not...
Thanks Vector_xxx for that fascinating link. Unless I overlooked it, I wish Walter/Wendy would have commented on the Q8 version of Switched-On Bach. I will now...

Hey Tom, no prob! Wendy does not specifically comment on the Q8 version of Switched-On Bach, but she does talk about how much she despises the limitations of...
Is there a good, reliable source for reasonably priced DVD-A titles on the web? I've been using DVD Planet but their stock of DVD-A titles has been ...
Ok, after listening to about 10 Q8's on the Fostex, this is the opinion I am formulating.<br>1. There is a marked difference playing them on the reel deck. I...
Are you making sure to put in new pads, properly adjusted for height, and lubing the posts? That makes a huge difference.<br><br>Also, some Q8's simply sound ...
Pads? No pads needed on the 8-track reel. Perfect tape path takes care of that! The tape is pulled from the cart and loaded on a 5" reel. It is then run ...
Oooops, what was I thinking of? Nothing obviously as I wasn't thinking. Brainfart brainfart brainfart! <br><br>So the experiment was worth it, in your opinion?...
If I was a betting man, I'd bet the thump thump thump is the result of an EMF getting too close to the tape at some point.<br><br>Kind of like the guy who had...
