How can you not have multichannel system

Just in case Mig007 hasn't counted, stereo *is* multi-channel. Mono is one, stereo is two and multi- means more than one.

BTW, my name is Frank Peel. Google my name and Luddites, then profess to tell me about them! ;-)

Happy New Year to everybody!

Frank, you are definitely an expert but I was totally uninterested. Sorry.

Mig007: You need to compare your SACD to the same thing on vinyl with a good table. You just might have a revelation? I run both 2 channel and 5.1. Different music for different moods. If you haven't experienced a great turntable, then you are missing a big part of audio...

Didn't know Allmans live is on SACD.
I've seen it on DVD-A.
Waiting for Blu-Ray...

Happy New Year!

Easy!
I have a Lenco!
(Actually, I have "multi" Lencos.
It's a sickness.)

So true, Elevick. I now have all the formats working to my great satisfaction, and being able to choose different formats to suit my mood is invaluable to me. Integrating a dedicated two-channel system into a multi-channel system is somewhat more cumbersome, but to me, it's worth it. Fewer limitations=more music.

Enjoy,
Dan
