This was one of the reasons I was pleased to get a DTTV box as the sound is
of good quality and reasonably in sync with vision.

Curiously, my recollection is that this wasn't a problem some years ago,
but has become so in recent years.

I vaguely remember much scrambling around down the back of the telly
when the BBC aired a live 'simulcast' of a Blondie concert on FM and TV.
It worked really well back then. For some reason I seem to recall it was
New Year Eve 1980. I probably still have a cassette of that concert
somewhere.

OK, the Beeb have pulled this one off big time. Fabulous imaging, and a
real sense of presence. If I have a slight criticism, it is that they
have left the hall out of the audio picture a bit. Come to think of it,
this is the Albert Hall, so again, well done Beeb!

Since last year's proms we have bought a DTTV box. Also 'rearranged' the
audio equipment so the TV/DVD system now uses the Quad 988's and a
subwoofer.

I liked the sound via DTTV, but had the impression that the stereo spread
was narrower for the Bach than later on. My only hesitation is that I must
admit not to being much of a fan for Slatkin. His conducting tends to me to
sound a bit 'soft and watercoloured' at times.

Slainte,

Jim

Stereo spread not wide enough? Must have been using the wrong speaker
cables, JIm ;-)

He's right it isn't that wide. Still I'm off to see/hear the real thing
and it will be interesting to hear the recording with the live
performance
