Popular Post The Computer Audiophile Posted February 6 Popular Post Share Posted February 6 Deep purple has announced a deluxe edition of Machine Head containing the Blu-ray with TrueHD Dolby Atmos. It was mixed by Dweezil Zappa. Based on Dweezil's previous work, I have high hopes. Comes out March 29, 2024. El Guapo and maxijazz 2 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

botrytis Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I also think the original tapes were quad. I had a friend that had a huge quad Onkyo receiver and 4 - JBL L-100's in a small one bedroom apartment. Of course this was 1978-80. He had the quad vinyl. Current: Daphile on an AMD A10-9500 with 16 GB RAM DAC - TEAC UD-501 DAC Pre-amp - Rotel RC-1590 Amplification - Benchmark AHB2 amplifier Speakers - Revel M126Be with 2 REL 7/ti subwoofers Cables - Tara Labs RSC Reference and Blue Jean Cable Balanced Interconnects Link to comment

The Computer Audiophile Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 I've been listening this afternoon to the Atmos version. I love it. I have no real connection to the original versions of this album, other than hearing a couple of the tracks on the radio a million times. I think this puts me in a good / neutral position for the D. Zappa remix, and enables me to really enjoy it. Word on the street is that many people who know this album inside and out, aren't too pleased with the Atmos mix. At least we have options and at least it's something different from the other releases of this album. There's nothing worse than repackaging the same thing to sell to super fans again and again.

One and a half Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Only 2CH here, listened right through the album while washing my car on Makita DMR300 Bluetooth Jobsite Radio from Samsung Galaxy S22, streaming from Jriver remote. Wasn't bad at all, couldn't tell if much of the new mix was radically different compared to an aural memory. Then played on audio system a few hours later. The opening to "Highway Star", those falsetto highs, where is, back in the mix. I tried to listen for a little, didn't like it. Opened the 2011 SACD (2CH DSF), more like traditional what I'm used to with Machine Head, some 52 years listening on and off! Looked up the DR database, DZ version is a 9, the SACD 2011 is a 12, that explains from an objective view the subjective impression. Yet another remaster compressed. Why not mix to whatever and leave the compressor setting at 1.0. AS Profile Equipment List Say NO to MQA Link to comment
