Thanks for the replies, but I don't think you understood what I was asking. I'm just looking for the cheapest way to incorporate 5.1 with my Sansui quad ...
Just read what I posted and still may not be clear...sorry! See previous post, and let me add:<br>I haven't bought *any* 5.1 stuff, including a DVD player....
Go for an Apex 703. $180 from CC and it has DD<br>decoder built in which can down mix from six<br>to 4 channel! I can't say enough about this unit<br>it sounds...
Just get yourself a DVD Video player that has a built in Dolby/DTS decoder.You could get Dolby alone, but you would miss the DTS titles that are availlable....
yes, but in my first post I specified I wanted to decode Ddigital *and* DTS, and unless I'm mistaken that one just decodes Ddigital. Thanks for your reply...
thanks for your response...I know I could get a DVD player that decodes Ddigital and DTS and has 6 analog outs. THis would be simple & should work great with...
Well..i just wanted to tell you my opinion:<br> Don't buy a dvd-player with the decoders inside.<br><br> For example, if you ever wanted to decode something...
The Technics SHAC500D decoder decodes both DTS and Dolby AC-3, also it handles red book PCM and Dolby Pro Logic (from Digital). It has a switch that will...
Hard to have DD, DTS and Cheap all togheter, but there's a way, if you like fiddling with cables:<br>Apex 703 with DD-AC3 decoding for DVD, connected to the ...
Hooray for the DTS people, who have conquered their queasyness over advertising and promotion. A few days ago they showed up at a local music merchant with ...
Is it possible to transfer to the old style Jewel case? You can get them at Radio Shack. If the materials are loose,like they are in a standard case, maybe you...
You can get CD jewel cases much cheaper at a computer store than a Radio Shack, where they average about 30 cents each. The last time I looked at jewel cases...
Hey Y'all:<br><br>I wanted to give y'all the web address for the National Audio Company who sells high quality reel to reel recording tape for good prices. The...
Yeah, National Audio has that stuff too. The only thing they didn't have is sensing tape. I haven't been to NAB since they went to Atlanta. That was wild! They...
Anyone (re: "Old Time Quad-ers") know if a Sansui XP-99 Turntable has low capacitence wiring that will support a CD-4 cartridge. The manual does not say ...
I don't know the answer to your question, but there are ways to tell. The low capacitance cables are thicker than the standard cable which back then was pretty...
Well, it is an "older" turntable, but I think it came out "after" quad. I'll have to put on my glasses and look the wiring over. (When I first bought it, I did...
It still might be quad ready, unless it was a new design at the time. I would suggest that you try it. It can't do any harm. If it won't work, you might just...
Thanks Quadfather! I may just get the SH-AC500D ...it's definitely a cheap option for my needs and should work at least as good as a similarly priced ...
thanks, I will take your advice.<br>I was looking at the SH-AC500D as suggested by Quadfather. <br>CHecked www.audioreview.com and someone wrote an angry ...
I've noticed that some DVD Audio discs sound too bright through this decoder. I don't know if it's the decoder or just the way the discs were mastered. Most ...
I did not know that the SHAC500D won't decode from sattellite or cable. I wonder about that one. It decodes pretty much everything I throw at it. CDs (it also...
One other thing about the Technics unit, it has a soundfield that falls apart. This is a unit that came out the same time as the Mill, and we did lots of ...
OK, thanks for your input Quadtrade.<br>what is the Mill?<br><br>Also re: other receivers w/DTS & Dolby AC3 sounding better than the Technics - do you mean...
I would expect that he means Millenium. I disagree. The unit is worth having. It is a good unit for the price, it gets you in the game. What do you mean about...
What soundcards should I check out? <br><br>I would ultimately like to get the Minnetonka software - and it requires a card w/6 outs.<br>BUT that might not...
I have succesfully used a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz. It can have, depending on configuration, 4 inputs and 6 outputs. It is keenly priced, street price under...
