stereo repair

Just a brain fart....

"Stereo" is such an old term, used as a catchphrase to describe anything audio-related, from a car radio to a component system. I think nobody born after the 80's uses it anymore.

But seeing it again brought back lots of memories growing up.

... then came the quad...

... then came the quad...

For a while, I saw some LP selections in quad when I was young, but the hardware to produce and play them back were just too expensive so it didn't gain enough traction. Most consumers only had stereo-capable equipment for LP, mini-cassette, 8-track, etc.

Anyway, quadraphonic was eventually revived and evolved to become the surround sound as we know them today.

sa live concert kasi,
it's the orchestra in front, with instruments to the left and instruments to the right.
plain L&R stereo is good enough for me.
quad sound just don't sound... normal.
i mean, who listens to an orchestra, seated in the middle of it?
