I just recently hooked up a family members old Technics Sa-101 to my computer. Now my rig is running the stock sound card and I must say that it plays decently. I am using the line out (green plug) and the cable splits into the red and white plug. It sounds okay, and I must admit when I am watching tv on the computer it sounds pretty good because the speakers are actually aligned better then when I am sitting at the desk. But that don't bother me too much, it is still better then my old computer speakers.
Now I wanted to for the longest time get another vintage receiver and possibly fix it up myself and start getting a background in electronics. The receiver I was looking at was a Sansui 771 or something similar. For speakers I am running bookshelf speakers with replacement drivers in them.
I was thinking of leaning more toward a better sound card for now and wait for a better deal on a vintage receiver. I was looking at the Asus Xonar DX. Right in my price range and I have no more pci slots left so I need to get a pci-x1 card.
Am I making the right decision.
