I used a 4 track reel to reel with mine and i loved it. When you have a different channel speaker in each corner you can really feel like your right in the center of the recording.
I was just listening to mine this morning. I only run it in the 2-channel mode about 85 watts a channel since there is no quad media. Mine had a lot of crackle and pops from a hand full of bad transistors (20?) I had to replace. They are harder to work on since you have to maintain 4 amps (instead of 2) boards which are hard to service. I really like it and bought it new long ago in the 70's.
@beechpilot57 He just said all that in the video. Hard to service. Double the parts. Also, it’s 60 WPC. Not 85. 40 in 4 channel mode, 60 in 2. Do you just comment on videos without watching them?

I've not had the opportunity to listen to quad sound.
I have this receiver and it does have great sound quality. It is a large and very heavy unit.
We have it running at 402 vinyl and paired with CS-99As...it's audio bliss :)
Excellent video!
Thanks for watching! More in the queue :)

Was listening to this particular unit down at the shop today, paired with some Pioneer CS 99As. That pairing is just about perfect.

Thank you.

I have never seen that QX-9900. My only quad gear is a QC-800A preamp. Those are pretty rare also.
I haven't come across it in the wild either...
Would love to have one....
They are definitely a sleeper sound-wise. Very warm sounding receiver.
Got a QX-747 that I have sent away to change caps and transistors.
Had one of those for a spell…just as cool and great sounding as the 949.
Not all that hard to set up if you read what’s on the back.
As always, YMMV :)
