If you read my introduction, I am the orginal owner of a Sansui QXR 9001 that I bought in the mid 70's along with a set (4) of Sansui SP-X8000 speakers. This system was in storage for 40yrs
i've had issues with trying to play quad music again with a POS cheap receiver and a new Sony UBP-X800M2 player
Iam in the que with QXRrestore to have the Sanusi rebuilt with all the bells and whistles, which I am excited about
And here lies my problem/issue.......
I played some vinyl in the living room last night and it was awesome and a great experience, making me want my system to kick ass again
I was worried about the speakers being dry rotted, but Mr John Coltrane came thru loud and clear, and I cranked the high & lows
Which leads me to this issue........
Would I be better off spending the $2000 refurbishing fee on new audio equipment, namely 2023 equipment and forgetting about the old amp?
Will I have issues trying to connecting my Sansui's RCA cables to the newer HDMI stuff aka SACD's?
Within 6 hrs of joining this fine forum, I realize I know nothing about the new stuff and don't want to make a $2K mistake
Will I be able to simply connect my rebuilt Sansui to a modern blu-ray player to enjoy Quadio discs?
I found an Oppo 105 for 8 bills delivered to my house. I see it has RCA outputs which would make it easy to connect to my Sansui
While I never heard of Oppo equipment, it sure has a high reverence about it here on this forum
What equipment today compares to a vintage Sanusi Quad?
Which leads me to another question, I don't have an answer for.....
My Marantz 6300 turntable works, but something was going on with the switches and the strobe light tuning wasn't able to fine tune the table speed
I don't know how much that will be, to have checked out/repaired, but a quick search shows turntables are$300 to $3000
I get so much satisfaction dropping the stylus on a spinning album
And I see on Ebay (LOL) that a Marantz 6300 turntable are going for $2000!!!!
I have alot of great memories with my system, but what can I buy with $2500-$3000 vs reburbishing my old system?
Don't worry about hurting my feelings as I have none
