Quadraphonic, any fans?


Recommended Posts

I have a couple of JVC Nivico 4 channel  turntables and a National Panasonic 4 channel receiver.

Unfortunately, I have no quadraphonic albums to try it with.

Is the end result in sound quality worth the effort of finding albums?

 

I already have a nice stereo setup, so the quadraphonic would rarely be used.

 

Thanks for any input.

Paul

I haven't heard quadraphonic since the late 70s. 

I still have an original SQ4 DSOTM from the 70s that sounds pretty good in stereo. From memory it sounded OK on my Toshiba quadraphonic system I bought about 1978.

Interestingly (or not) I have a quadraphonic cart on my TT. A Nagaoka JT 322 I bought here on SNA. I reckon it's a stunning cart for the price and the extended frequency response dictated by the quadraphonic requirements could be helping that.

 

If you want good surround sound it would be easier and better to buy some SACDs and play them on your theatre system.
