I have two daugthers!!! Just imagine! Unfortunately no college fund.
Iām getting the dog further and further right and almost level with my shoulder. But Iām still struggling a bit with that telephone (anyone who has this album will know the one), which some say is the acid test for holographic imaging.
True enough. But the NDS/555PS DR is one of those upgrades that was so good it never gets old, so to speak. Iātrying to downgrade the digital source to allocate funds towards an analog front end with little success. Sorry to op for deviating.

Why with ā little success ā ? does it mean you tried but couldnāt find a better turntable rig for the money, or you are trying hard yet ?
Back in the 70s you could get all this without a record playing.

It means I havenāt found a streaming solution that can compare to NDS for a lot less money than NDS/555PS DR (maybe not a shocker). Meaning I canāt allocate more of the funds now bound in the NDS towards a turntable and still keep the performance of the NDS. At least not with Chord Qutest or Gold Note DS-10.
With the performance difference I so far have seen I resolutely give up, keep NDS and allocate new funds into turntable.

Thatās trickery used on that album as well, but that effect is quite amazing. I use that track to set up my speakers. The crickets chirp from a good 270 degrees and the opening piano line is far far off to the (right??)

Iāll try to hear the dog. I just jump right to Perfect Sense Pt 1.
I know the album well just bedding in my ATC SCM40 speakers need to revisit album regarding telephone 
got me thinking there. The dog is down the street but not just level with my right shoulder 
Reminds me of that telephone ringing in Led Zep. I got the squeaky b/d pedal (easy), but the 'phone has escaped me thus far!
Didnāt need QSound for the buses going by in a certain classical recording (forget which) either, lol.
And imagine if Roger Waters had produced The Trinity Sessions!

It is tough, Iām getting closer and closer to that particular audio nirvana moment.
For something significantly less dreary, also recorded in QSound, try The Immaculate Collection ā by Madonna. The Thunderstorm at the start of āRescue Meā is a good test.
Wait until you add the clockā¦what a game changer imho.

I understand the urge, the impulse, but this is ā¦
And tube trains beneath recorded on classical recordings at Kingsway Hall in London - part of the ambience (but rather different from holographic recording).

Thanks for tip going to buy the album using certain tracks and effects can really help with speaker placement
Thereās a track where the voice comes from my back left wall. Itās later on through the album. I need to revisit it since my last upgrades.

I was once listening to a pre-war Decca 78 set when I could faintly here a familiar sound. Took a while to realise it was a tube train! Presumably the orchestra had been recorded in the Kingsway hall and in that era they didnāt think anyone would hear it.
My favourite holographic listen is the āWish you were hereā album in SQ quadraphonic. Just wish I had a less scratched copy!

Covid pretty much screwed her chances for Princeton. At best sheās going to Brown. Recommended she consider taking up a trade.
