True, the most you can hope for on VHS tapes is Dolby Surround or some other competing "stereo surround" or "srround sound" competitor, but that being said,...
Does anybody know of a listing anywhere pointing to all DVD titles that have Music Score Only audio options? I find these can be particularly enjoyable, though...
Thanks members!!! I couldn't determine if Dolby Surround was 5.1 or a matrixed soundtrack. I've been out of the audio conversion scene for a few years and I...

... I think QS is supposed to be a good match, but try both and see what works best. Dolby ProLogic II is good for decoding, but plain old ProLogic has the...
Just to add: Older multi-channel: taking the out of phase and either setting up a triangle speaker system with listener sittin facing a left speaker, a right...
Dolby bought the rights from Sony on some of the technology developed for SQ, however unlike SQ it was used for a diamond channel config, not nessarily a...
This may be silly, but bear with me here. Is there any way to take a multi-channel recording which is in wave format extensible, such as that produced by the...
Seems like it should be possible with software, you're just changing from one coding format to another. Then again, I have no idea if such a thing exists or...
Well, is there anyone around who has done much hacking in these wave_format_extensible files? I'm sort of guessing that the file is discrete multi-channel with...
And of course, what I'd really like to be able to do is extract 5.1 soundtracks from movies and edit them down into something I can listen to. e.g., 5.1 music...
You can do this for free, even, splitting a 6 channel RIFF wave file in the wave_format_extensible format, such as that produced when multichannel recording...
OK, this is cool, I can demux from a vob into nice dts data streams split by chapter. This means I can rip from my dvds that have dts content into files...
A Marantz, Sansui, Pioneer, Fisher, Lafayette, Heathkit, Kenwood, Sanyo, Toshiba, Onkyo, or any other make. Currently, I'd chose the Lafayette. It has a very...
It's hard for me to say, I sometimes have smaller speakers hooked up and am more interested in switch options instead of sound quality, though that's important...
What model numbers are the Pioneer, Sansui, Marantz Superscope & Panasonic you mentioned? I have collected many over the last 6 years. The Lafayette S-7210...
Well, I have a partial list of what I own at: http://www.rdrop.com/~dano/tunes/quad/equipment.html It's out of date but most things are listed. Here are the...
That guy had no idea about stereos let alone Marantz. It wasn't new and only outputs about 8 watts a channel in quad, so it was junk to him. I lucked out as...
After considerable research and thought on this subject I've come to the conlusion that allthough upmixes from stereo sources to dts disk can be very pleasant,...
... I haven't had much interest in upmixes for that reason, I don't see any way you can really make 2 into 4 with good results. It would be interesting if...
There are plenty of good up-mixes if you dig around. It all depends on the extraction process used. I can vouch that they are mostly better than plain DL II...

Which upmixes do you think are good? I certainly agree that it's pointless to do the software-based PLII -> dts upmix. One thing I'm curious about: dts as an...
Does anyone have ELO - First light? I came across it on another Yahoo DTS sight. Anyone know if there was a Q8 version of it. I assume it's SQ. See Below: ...
... When DSotM was first released on CD in the US they accidentally released the quad-encoded version. I remember everybody all disappointed because it sounded...
There's a quite a good Zappa _Hot Rats_, and a decent Radiohead _OK Computer_ floating around out there. Also there's a guy who is doing some pretty definitive...
Hey gang, The Talking Heads new DVD-A's are just plain great. Queen's 'A Night At The Opera' sounds great 5.1 DVD-A also. Tommy is good, remixed by Pete...
... I've only heard Remain in Light but I'll vouch for that. The mix is better than the original stereo, IMO. ... I thought so, too, but I've seen some catty...
Although there are two 5.1 mixes of Abbey Road floating around, I understand that the "real" Two of Us Productions mix will be released soon. ... From:...
