Quadio Chicago BluRay Box Set announced

I have dealt with the good doctor a few times, each was corrected without issue. This includes sending out a replacement box set when one appeared lost. Of course both showed up the same day and I was told to keep them due to the delay.

Sometimes it does take a while for a response so fret not.

 

I would not assume this. There wasn’t a recall so any initial press boxes that didn’t sell early would remain in retail inventory until sold.

 

Considering they were unavailable for some time, it seems likely most copies in stock now would be the corrected versions.

 

Huh?

 

At least on CTA the horns on many (all?) tracks are in one of the rear channels.

 

And if that bothers him, he can always switch to 2.0, which sounds nice too.

 

Maybe. But I wouldn’t assume it.

 

To me, the whole point of buying and listening to the Quadio is to experience the original, discrete quadraphonic mixes.

 

I understand. I’m sure that’s why most bought it. I enjoy the 2.0 mix because it’s high resolution and to me sounds great too.

 

I've never listened to the stereo mixes of the Quadio discs and probably never will. I'm sure they sound great but as long as I have a surround setup it'll be 4.0 quad only .

 

Same here. Not even curious.

 

I'm two years late in agreeing. Just one example of dozens of reasons why, for me: in the quad "The Road" Kath's guitar bursts come at you from the rear left, and powerfully. In the 5.1 DVD-A they're just kind of smooshed across the fronts, almost buried.

 

Just picked this up. My God, does this sound GREAT! Playing Chicago III now. And for about 100 bucks, everyone should own this.
Still wish I knew what exactly the issues with the first pressing of the box were though...

 

It's on the stereo layer (not the quad) of Chicago II, a couple of songs go mono, and lose a channel I think as well.

 

Yeah, I just read that. I'm not really interested in the stereo layer of the set anyway, but I'll have to play it just to make sure.

 

Plus something was wrong on Greatest Hits, replacement discs were issued for both.

 

Wait ‘til you get to “Wishing You Were Here”...!

 

Well, I just listened to the stereo layer of disc 2 and wouldn't you know it - it's the mono fold down. Apparently, amazon hasn't rid itself of the troublesome first pressings. I guess they think your average listener wouldn't notice. I probably wouldn't notice had I not known of this thread. I might not even have played the stereo layer! Anyway, I contacted Rhino and told them I bought it from amazon. We'll see how long they take to respond and if they'll send out replacement discs.

 

I contacted them numerous times way back when the set first came out, even by regular mail (the kind that you put a stamp on) and never got a response.

 

I think that makes you the exception, rather than the rule. Dr. Rhino hooked me up.

 

I had no problems getting my replacement discs.
I think you should contact amazon and get them to replace it

 

I contacted Dr. Rhino when I first got my set and got a response in a few days. It took awhile to get my replacement discs but they did arrive. Love this set !

Doing a quick search it seems apparent that there are plenty of places to buy the Quadio box set. I'm sure the SH member that bought up a bunch of sets claiming it was OOP and his "industry connections" said the same . Oh well he can give all those sets to friends and family as Christmas stocking stuffers .

 

It takes time for them to respond but they will. Try again. Took 2 emails before they replaced the discs for me.

 

Agree with several above. Don't contact Amazon, contact Dr. Rhino. It did take awhile, but I did get the replacement disks.

 

My replacements reached the UK quite quickly.
