firedog Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 The Who by Numbers sounds very good - relatively to other versions.

KDinsmore Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Is Quad taken from the SACD that was out a while back or the Blue-ray? I love this but before spending $40+ want to make sure. I already have the SACD version ripped to file but always looking for better.

firedog Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Sounds very good compared to previous versions. I have the original LP,the non-Deluxe CD, and the Deluxe CD. This is the same running order as the Deluxe CD, but the DR is 12 as opposed to 9 for the Deluxe CD.

firedog Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Just an addendum: Listening to Live at Leeds and the Deluxe version has a great rendition of "Tommy" Live. Had forgotten how good it was. Not to mention the rest of the album. What an amazing concert those kids at Leeds got to hear.

However, I just tried Chrome/ZenMate and it worked. I've got some new music, including Quadrophenia, downloading right now. Thanks!

One and a half Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 CD Japan is re-releasing The Who albums on SACD later this month (Nov-26). The masters would be the same from Universal Music, unless SHM tweak them. Typically the SHM-SACD do better than standard commercial pressings for SQ (but fall short of MFSL, IMHO). These SHM-SACDs do NOT have a CD layer, so can only be played by SACD players. AS Profile Equipment List Say NO to MQA Link to comment
DigiPete Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Friends, you are only getting half the experience !!! Quadrophenia should be heard in it's intended format: Quadraphonic Sound !!! Available on Bluray Score 9.42/10 @ quadraphonicquad 5.1 - 24 / 96 DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 - 24 / 96 Dolby TrueHD 2.0 - 24 / 96 LPCM Also available on DVD Score 7.48/10 @ quadraphonicquad Wikipdia writes: The name is a variation on the popular usage of the medical diagnostic term schizophrenia as dissociative identity disorder, to reflect the four distinct personalities of Jimmy, the opera's protagonist – each said to represent the personality of one member of The Who. At the same time, the title is a play on the term quadraphonic sound, then a recent invention. Composer Pete Townshend has said: "The whole conception of Quadrophenia was geared to quadraphonic, but in a creative sort of way. I mean I wanted themes to sort of emerge from corners. So you start to get the sense of the fourness being literally speaker for speaker."

firedog Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Well not exactly true. PT didn't have true quadrophonic equipment available with true discrete 4 channels. So when he heard the first results of the pseudo quad mix he dumped the idea, as he understood there was no point in a quad mix that sounded worse than the stereo mix. The original mix and release was only in stereo.
