Yep, got a few albums both on CD and DTS, mostly the reissued REM albums from their Warner Bros years.

I was poorly last night and went to bed early, so didn't get a chance to try it. Providing tonight (and my stomach) doesn't throw anything up, I'll try comparing them.

Right, I've had a listen to 'Losing My Religion' a few times through various audio wossnames. I've not put the subwoofer on 'cos the kids are in bed, so that's something to try on the weekend. :)

From the CD, standard stereo, things sound ok.

Listened to the 5.1 DTS and (as you  might expect) everything's punchier, vocals stand out, individual instruments can be heard through surround channels.

DTS in stereo /does/ make a difference. The bass guitar is way more discernable, while still maintaining the quailty of vocals as before.

There's also a Dolby Digital stereo track, but I couldn't tell any difference between that and the original.

I'd like to try it with the sub on too, and with some more complex tracks. I've got Nick Cave's Dig, Lazarus, Dig in 5.1, which sounds awesome and I'll try that out when I've got some free time.

You vindicate me.  Let's get married.  Charlotte will understand.

Why not come and live with us. I can offer you a chair and a purple blanket and all the cereal you can eat. You like muesli, right?

Also, who's Charlotte?! I'm pretty sure my wife's called Clare, admittedly I never asked for proof of ID when we started found out...

Charlotte is my own infinitely better half.

What is this muesli of which you speak?  I am conducting an extended experiment to demonstrate that alcohol alone is a sufficiently nutritious food to sustain a healthy life.

The purple blanket sounds nice though.

I figured that might be the case, but only after I posted that.

I wonder if anyone's tried soaking museli in gin, in the same way you can flavour it with raspberries/sloes etc. This could spawn a whole new product line, alco-puffs, shredded gin, merlot pops and baby sham bran.
