I've currently got a Sansui QRX-9001 based setup that I run the quad tape outs into the multi-channel input of my a/v pre-amp.
In the hopes of improving my phono stage beyond the 9001's outdated design while still maintaining all 3 big quad format capabilities, I have a few questions:
1. What would be the gold standard standalone (JVC?) CD-4 demodulators and how do they interact with phono pre-amps (before, after, integrated?).
2. What would be a best practice/low noise/obtainable solution for connecting a CD-4 unit, a Sansui QSD-1 and a Fosgate Tate II 101A with a single 4 channel rca output?
Bonus 3. All of the QSD-1 units I've seen have been 100V power. I'm currently using a Panamax M5400-PM and have planned to keep all the quad sources and decoders on a single isolated power zone. What would be any best practice 100V step-down transformer advice for this scenario or in general?
