I’m new here and on a quad audio equipment quest. I need means to handle my quad tape decks. I’ve been unable to buy a quad receiver (or the more IDEAL SOLUTION quad preamp—they seem even more rare). THANK YOU for any help—more info follows…
Two-channel solutions exist for stereo equipment lacking tape monitor connectivity in the form of -external- tape monitor/selector solutions (such as: dbx 200 Program Route Selector) but I’ve never seen any external quad equivalents
My current quad setup has been a great playback solution and also avoids HDMI by using disc player that decodes quad & up to 5.1 to analog outputs connected into my all-analog preamp: Sony TA-P9000ES preamp designed before HDMI
( I have an AVR but prefer staying away from it and HDMI for most multi-channel audio. I love the Sony & love my separate power amps)
That Sony-controlled setup doesn’t provide for tape decks (in/out loop x 2 or more) so recording mix tapes etc requires moving wires around—with no good way to listen during recording since I have to disconnect interconnects from the Sony to my power amps and connect those wires to the quad deck inputs!
Help please! Thanks very much
