Pick your poison...2-channel or multi?

Hi CDwallace,
My poision is without a doubt multichannel!!! I have been listening to multichannel since 1971--yes quad 8tracks and reel to reel as well as matrix surround. To date the greatest component developed yet is the Angstron 200. I say this because I have not heard either dts or DD sound better. But the real magic is the Mike Moffitt's algorythem of matrix surround sound from 2ch cd. I have not heard a 2ch source that hasn't sounded richer a fuller than with the simple matrix! The only disappointment has been with SACD mc. To much noise and distorion in rear channels. For discreet surround nothing surpasses dts in mho. Long live mc!!

Madhf...thanks for the post. Glad to see someone who enjoyed MC from its infant stages until now. If you loved MC then, I can only amagine how much you're enjoying MC of today. Technology can be a wonderful thing. Viva MC!!!

I recently went back to 2 channel. I had a nice music only MCH setup and enjoyed it a lot. The only problem was the dirth of MCH SACDs and DVD-Audios.
New releases are almost gone now and the selection was never very good to begin with. I've upgraded my DAC to where digital sounds almost as good as my vinyl. SACD and DVD-A in stereo is fine. There's actually much more new vinyl available than new Hi-Rez digital. My HT is surround, but not my stereo room now.

Thanks for the post ThomJohn...did you do much listening of 2ch CD's in surround? How did you like it?

How do you get surround sound from 2 channels. By synthesis?
