Hello! I am finally stepping into the quad arena after many years of wanting to. Back in the 70's I had a quad 8-track player and one tape.....it was a tape of western movie themes. Lasted about a month before I traded it off. That was the extent of my experience.....
I currently own an Akai 1800D-SS Reel to Reel/8-Track combo unit. I do not currrently have any quad tapes of any kind and use it mainly to listen to the reqular 8-track tapes I have. I have a few other Reel to reel machines also.
I decided a few weeks ago I wanted a nice quad system, so I have been researching different systems and decided upon a reasonably priced Sansui QRX-7500A. I am currently awaiting it's arrival and am highly excited about it! I picked up a nice looking Dual 1249 turntable at a yard sale and will be looking for a suitable CD-4 cartridge for it. So far I only have 5 quad LP's. 4 of those are SQ encoded and 1 is a quadradisc (CD-4). More will come as time goes by.....
I am trying to make some adjustments to the turntable. The automatic system does not work properly. I just replaced the "pimple", but still have problems. Can anyone recommend a good forum that deals with the Dual line of turntables? Thanks for a great forum!
