Hi!
I am new to this forum. I live in the UK (London) and I have just bought a Sansui QRX6001. It hasn't even been posted to me yet, but i have become obsessed with Quad sound already.
When I was about 13 I went to a friends house and was amazed by his dads Quadraphonic system. It was my only brush with Quadraphonics in the flesh. I had only read about it before, Quad was extremely rare in England, it never got as far as in the States.
Now I am about to have my own system I can hardly believe it.
I settled on getting a 6001 after reading an article by progrockasaurus on rateyourmusic.com.
It seemed a good buy coz it has the same decoders, (although I have since learned, a different CD-4 decoder) as the 9001, but is more reliable and a hell of a lot cheaper and lighter.
I am used to doing electronic work and am expecting to have to spend time getting it up to scratch, even though the e-bay seller says it 'works well'.
I am going to recap it myself. Having read a lot on your threads I am convinced it is a good idea to recap fully. I have downloaded a service manual already( isn't the internet great for this?)
This is where i could do with advice on what else I should do to improve/bring back to scratch the performance.
I was wondering if I could get a 9001 CD4 decoder PCB (I think I remember seeing one on e-bay) modify it to 'Holy Grail" status and either replace the 6001's decoder or use it as an external decoder. If this is not possible, are there any mods I can do to improve the 6001's demodulator?
I have spent oceans of time on this forum at work and I think I need to ask you guys to point me in the right direction before i get into trouble.
Thanks for your time.
