[SurroundSound] Re: My 15 best upmixes ever

LOL, Trifield is also one of the methods Kempfand wrote in the past ;-)

And my criticism there ? Not enough in the rears ! LOL !!

But for songs that don't separate good it's a method I sometimes use, but rarely.

Are you a Garrison fan ? LOL @

Thanks for the feedback.

grtz,

Hmm, difficult to know what to say and how to say it.

I first decided to listen to War of the Worlds as I've not listened to it for years. I have both the original double LP and double CD. I queued up the CD release (I've never heard the retail surround version) , played through the Meridian pre-amp set to Trifield as normal) and hit play on the computer (which was playing with through the DTS decoder in the Meridian) and CD player at the same time then switched between the two with the remote control. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trifield for an explanation of Trifield)

I can see what you are trying to do, but I prefer the Trifield version. Actually yours is very very similar to the Trifield (including effects 'flying around the room'), but yours has a more rear volume bias and more rear 'air' if that makes sense? I lowered the rear volume of yours to match the Trifield version.  It's difficult to describe the differences but yours feels more 'forced' whilst the Trifield version gives a more 'natural' front biased soundstage. Also just randomly hitting the remote button in a darkened room I soon got confused as to which I was listening to, so I suppose that says that both your version and the Meridian Trifield version are both excellent! I suppose it's subjective as to which is better. Actually I'd say that neither is better, they're just different and I prefer a more front biased soundstage, which is what Trifield provides me with.

I'm looking forward to listening to the other albums you've listed, especially the ones I've not heard before.

Ali.
