Quadraphonic records (LPs to you and me)


If normal analogue comes through as 2 channel, what effect does a quadraphonic record have?
If my processor (Bryston sp3) codes 2 channel into surround 7.1 - which it does exceedingly well- does that make the separation easier?
(Bryston do not know)
Thanks chaps and chapesses

It's also worth noting that quad pressings are also mixed specifically for the format, and upon 2-channel reproduction can range from absolutely explosive (try a quad UK of Dark Side of The Moon) to the utterly bizarre (US quad pressing of Steely Dan's Can't Buy a Thrill).  I like buying quad pressings since you can often get a slightly different mix that brings out  buried elements of the production, and generally they sound quite good.
