Ok well basically i have a QSC 850 amp right now that i use for my turntables with 2 12 inch speakers, but i want to get a Onkyo 606 and Polk surround sound for my PS3 and tv.

Can i even run my turntables plus some surround speakers from just the Onkyo? Would the QSC amp basically be useless?

I just replaced all of my vintage stuff with a 606 myself. The only analog inputs that I noticed for old school stuff like turntables was a cassette input/output for tape backup/playback.

The 606 has 7.1 speaker outputs which includes both surround and surround rear jacks.

Well, I now use my old amp and equalizer in my bedroom for the world's most expensive iPod player

No, you don't need to get rid of your current amp. You can use it separately with other speakers or save it for use in a pre-pro/amp setup with a compatible receiver (Yamaha 663, Onkyo 805). You can also hook up your turntable to your Onkyo, however, if you want to run a separate stereo system, then I'd suggest not doing that.

I don't think the Onkyo has the ground for the turntables though, so you might get buzz if not grounded to something else. Never personally hooked up a turntable without that little ground screw being right by the RCA inputs.

may i suggest an 705? you can see the differences between the 705 and 606 on the onk site but im sure you can find one close to the 606 price tag. reason i suggest this is because it has a phono input with a ground next to it. i use it and have zero issues.
