What a cheap bastard.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-17-2016 09:09 PM                     That stuff was installed long before SR even existed... Considering the majority of his films would be mono it's actually quite fitting. Mark  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

A lot of private rooms were done by Ajar and he included Ultra Stereo in most. Charlie called me at Dolby to apply for a dealership. I initially turned him down.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 01-18-2016 02:43 PM                    What was the criteria?  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

Dolby were not short of dealers in Hollywood. As I remember it, he really wanted it just in case the customer demanded it, otherwise they would get USL by default.  |  IP: Logged
