    There were several 'quadraphonic' headphones around at the time. They all used two stereo jacks.

    Used to own a quad system back in day. Was a technics if memory serves. Was great at time.
    I've seen one quite like that, was a jvc. You could adjust width and depth of sound as well as phase.
    Cool gear

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Last night I had time to connect up a pair of Royd book shelf speakers , turn it on select radio and tune it into 5 live , sounded very nice , signal strength meter works as well , Later today I will connect up a TT through the phono stage and see what happens , Looking promising

    You're going to need a large room if you do take 4 x '57

    Old memories; I saw the Floyd in Liverpool Philharminic Hall, when they used a 'Joystick' to send the sound around the room-late 60s.

    Would that be this night? https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/pink-...d-33d76cad.htm
    If so I’m exceptionally jealous,the man and the journey is one of my favourite sets ever,I once had a bootleg of that night but it wasn’t a great recording,65~72 live shows were much better than what was to come post dark side.

    The 'Joystick' was called the "Azimuth Coordinator" by the Floyd. Yes, Floyd in the late '60s - Happy Days.
