How can you not have multichannel system

Well, I read the various replies and appreciate Eldartford's well-written replies, but continue to be amazed at the lack of understanding, willingness to understand the process of producing multichannel sacd (dvd audio) discs. If any reader wants to grasp or learn how multichannel music is recorded please run a google search, 'sacd remixing'. The first two or three hits give a good primer on the subject. But to those who insist that sacd multichannel music of previouly released discs is just a matter of using 'voodoo' to extract three additional channels from the stereo should not even venture forth any opinions. Ignorance is not a virtue. As to the writer who asked me about the difference between the stereo and multichannel Blood on the Tracks album, I am waiting for a universal player to replace my current one that decided to skip on sacd multichannels (its a plot), and I will spend some time listening between the two and report my impressions as to what music is present in the rear channels.

Here is a review of the album as 5.1 sacd. Found this over on Amazon. Thought this would provide some insight other than my own. "Blood on the Tracks, an already classic album, just got better with this SACD hybrid version. The 5.1 surround mix is wonderfully clear, revealing lots of previously hidden details, especially in the numbers Dylan recorded with Eric Weissburg & Deliverance. The vocals are crisp and fill the room like never before. The overall experience is like hearing this album again, but in the studio, sitting in between the musicians as they play.
The only thing is that the packaging, though much better than the original CD version, is not up to the same standards as Sony's own Legacy re-issues. A song-by-song analysis (like the ones for the Byrds, for example) would've been nice--and that goes for most of the classic albums of this Dylan re-issue series, unfortunately.

Still, it's a must-have, if you're any kind of Dylan fan at all... "

Again, another consumer's review on the contributions of sacd multichannel, "The SACD/CD 2003 version features a new CD remix and a 5.1 surround remix that keeps Dylan's voice (and "Blood on the Tracks" is his best-sung album) up front where it belongs, but adds some separation for the guitars, bass and drums. It's nice for surround fans, but it is the music that makes this Dylan's most timeless work. It could have been cut on wax cylinders in 1900 and it would still be an all-time classic. "

Again, another consumer review, with his/her insight as to the difference. "Blood on the tracks has been reviewed so often, I just wanted to say this 5.1 mix is amazing. I've heard this album a hundred times and with this mix, I'm hearing instruments I never noticed before. Really amazing." That result is not from trickery or the like. Busted!
