It is a little walk down memory for me. Descriptions will be with every photo.
This was my Frankenstein I put together when I was 20ish.
Inside Frankenstein. Used a Kenwood car crossover to split the signal to the three bands feeding the 3 Marantz SQA2s. Had manual rear blend and a Marantz CD 400B modified the accept line in level. Ahh the old days when I was young. It served faithfully until a few years ago when a noise started in the rear channel, so I retired it and ran stereo till a few months ago.
This is my current setup. The Sony SQD2010 was never used. I will tell anyone, if you can find a well maintained SQD2010, buy it. one of the nicest sound stages you will ever hear. Below that is a Sansui QSD-1. This lady has had modifications to speed the input circuit up and open the sound stage. Head to head there is no discernible difference between the SQ and the QS.
This is my second SQD2010. She is in a bit rougher condition, so she is going to be an experimental toy. I have read about the Tate2 and such, and some of the shortfalls as well as the many strengths it had. I have been studying the CBS paramatrix system and will be designing a drop in board to emulate this system.
If I am successful, I will be releasing the schematic for free.
A few of the SQA2 modules laying around here
A few Marantz CD400Bs yes the boxes are full.
No problem getting replacement IC's for these either
Just arrived today
And one other little look on one of the in house computers. Pioneer QX-747, and Sansui QS-100
Enjoy
