FS Capcom Q Sound Amp

[fuzzbuddy]

I bought this on yahoo last year, but I no longer need it:

£400 shipped (UPS tracked 1-3 day)

Yes, it's not cheap, but it wasn't last year either.

You should open the case and take a picture of the PCB. Finally settle the score once and for all if there's some sort of mysterious Q-sound processing chip on there or if it's all just passive components.

 

[Anselmo]

never seen one of these. What's the difference between this one and yours?

It's just a different model. Remember QSound wasn't something that was exclusive to Capcom. Different manufacturers did different amps that decoded the algorithm.

There's also this thing:

My Sharp CRT television has built in Qsound.

There is a Q Sound chip on CPS1.5 and CPS2 and other devices that support it. Stands to reason the amp would need a processor designed to decode the output from the board?

Is there any Capcom branding on it?

There is a dissertation of how Q sound works by one of the men who worked on the platform in another thread. From memory there is no processor on the amp per se but rather the architecture is used to trick the ears into hearing different effects.

Then the conspiracy theorists came out and called the guy a liar more or less. Even though he worked on developing Q sound and had no reason to deceive anyone.

This is hilarious.
