I am with you guys I picked up a Sansui QRX 5500 locally for 60.00 like new except it did not have any sound output;I took it home and downloaded the service manual and found 4 blown fuses on the driver card ssshhhhaaaazam! I also got a pansonic 4 ch.cd-r turntable that is sweet and have been recording cd-4 lps patched through a MAudio 1010lt multichanel sound card using ACID and presto ....DVD-A SURROUND.
I have FOUND a connection secret for these things :2 amps(One;old/new and my Onkyo home theater amp w/ quad and stereo passive monitors, DBX passive Bass sub woofers, 13 speaKERs in all ,EQ,Sony SACD/DVD configuration/ARRAINGMENT (w/ a SIMPLE switcher) a hookup that came to me because I wanted to ??? can't tell you much except I can easily achieve any listening position from any kind of media I care to max out, TV,Movie,Audio 2/4 ch. or sim 4 ch matrix. Don't get me wrong this is half new stuff or new a 1000.00 / 2000g budget was a must over time....took about 6 months and alot of thinking
Some 2 ch Home theatre stuff I had going strong from before .
I love this stuff if I only had some dedicated listening friends.....
Stay kewl guys this is fun stuff!!
