In order to really use it, you have to be playing a
Quadraphonic
recorded record right? LP's were it back then, right?
It must have a quadraphonic line-in if it's worth having around
at all. :) (Hey, my <on topic>SGI has one...)
Seriously, though, it's just an amplifier. It shouldn't matter
what you're running through it. The signal will be analog only,
of course, so no SPDIF without a converter.

I'm about to experiment with hooking a 20 year old Technics
turntable up to my B/W G3 using a small pre-amp between them. It'll
allow me to convert all my old vinyl to MP3 as well as provide a
means of listening to any vinyl without having a full stereo stack
sitting here. The line-level input on the Mac ought to pass the
signal on out to the Harman/Kardon Soundsticks without a problem.

As long as the small preamp is compatible with the cartridge, and includes
RIAA equalization (think of it as a phono input), it should work.
BTW this subject was a little misleading to me, since my stereo is the
brand Quad.

Lovely amps, tube I assume. Solid state just can't produce the warmth and
body of analog. Quads approach Macintosh in quality.

Tubes can be interesting, but after a couple flings with tube amps I am
back to solid state for the long haul and use the Quad 606.

That is to say, "digital just doesn't color the sound like a set of tubes".

Sony put out a module to give a tube effect for CDs a few years ago due to
the popularity of the tube sound. Many of the retro R&R musicians insist on
a tube amp. In any case Quad quality is in all Quad equipment.
