Going back to Richard's original question, I have a theory
why some recordings appeared into our "Rumours" list.

I found several record titles for example from British automobile
magazines. They had articles about the Troy decoder.

I wonder if the people giving the demo to the journalist had played
both UHJ recordings as properly decoded, and some stereo
recordings, that created a nice spread of sound in the Stereo
Enhance (or Super Stereo, if you like the expression (I don't,
there's nothing Super in it)) mode of the decoder.

At that time there was only a handful of UHJ recordings available,
in addition to classical Nimbus.

It is my guess that for example the soundtrack of Mad Max, Beyond
Thunderdome was mentioned in an article because of this. After long
and tedious listening sessions (somebody's got to do it) I never found
anything UHJ in the mix.

If a journalist heard those recordings in the demo, he may have
assumed that they were surround.

Eero
