Hey, new here. Through some various lucky circumstances I'm back into the quad thing. My last piece of quad gear was a Heathkit reciever/8-track that was pretty lacking in the actual quad department (bargan basement SQ.) So, I've been in the market and to day lucked on to a Sansui QRX-3000. $15 and a replacement fuse and she's up and running.
Well, I'm trying to find some info about this animal and coming up empty handed. I've seen some info on the problems associated with the later, and higher up the line, QRX models, but I haven't seen anything pertaning to the one I have. Specifically, I've seen this: www.geocities.com/quadaud...b9001.html about the x001s and am wondering if this applys to my unit as well.
I'm also a little curious about the different modes we have here. QS Synthesis, Surround, Hall, matrix, discrete, what does it all mean? I'm guessing discrete is for a 4 channel tape, not a CD-4 disc, right? The others, I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on those modes.
And I'm hoping that the bit of hum I'm getting is from living in a house with circa 1948 electrical and not a problem in the gear. It's not a HUGE hum, but a little one you can hear in the quiet passages via headphones. Just a minor annoyance and for $15 what do I want, right?
Finally, if anyone knows where I can get some knobs for this sucker, I'd appreciate that. I'm missing the volume and the input and sound output ones. Not vital, but it looks ugly without them.
Thanks!
Rob
