Hello everyone! Having a case of 'tweak-itis' at the moment - you know the score! not enough money to afford an upgrade, but enough to try and improve what you...
Since we have just broken into September it was about time for a reminder of the QuadFest. This is to be help over the weekend of the 18/19th where Terry...
Hello! I beefed up the PSU cap with a 1500 or 2000uF Elna (don't remember which)...but it still lacked lowest bass punch compared to a Croft SM. When I changed...
Having had an other look at the 34 I would be reluctant to short out C30 31 48 and 54 as these remove any DC from the volume and balance pots and any DC bias...
Thanks Zombie and Stuart! Stuart, I didn't realise you were a member of this forum - small world!! Thansk for the work you did to my Quad 34 BTW, it sounds...
The opamps I installed are OPA134s. I tried bypass capacitors and in a null comparison could find no difference. I think the configuration of the opamps as...
Hi Stuart. Sorry I'm not that knowledgable about electronics, but good at soldering and following instructions ;-) If I decided I needed them, where would I...
Hi people, sorry to butt in, but I have a later version of the 34 (grey model with gold RCA, don't know if there's a difference to early ones). I'd like to...
Dear Quad lovers, Is there anyone out there with a spare output transformer for a Quad II amp, or does anyone know where I might have a good chance finding...
Stuart: thank you for the cap sugestions, I measured the DC before the caps and it was very low (<5mV), and the pots aren't noisy at all. Neither was there any...
Many thanks Zombie - look forward to seeing how you've done this. Tried to get all the caps I need from Maplin today - NONE of the values I required in stock -...
Hi there, Not quite to do Quad Hi-Fi as such. But can anyone recommend a good contact and switch cleaner? I've been warned also that some may not be suitable...
Hello, I have uploaded some blurry pics, look under "Quad 34 mod pics". The caps in questions are the square ones and a little bit lighter wine red. The caps...
So that's the way to do it :-) Thanks alot of those pictures Tom - much appreciated!! How does your 34 sound now compared to the original 'stock' unit? I liked...
Hi, John It's definitely more open and detailed and has more "sting". Try a better opamp in the PSU, there was an improvement... Is it possible to order the...

I have used various Caig products and am 100% sold on them. I use their DeoxIT D5 on my RCA / balanced / speaker contacts. The first time the contacts are...
Hi there, thanks for the info. I've seen the word "DeoxIT" a handful of times now but the price for a can seems to be 10x more expensive than say Servisol...
Yeah no problem - do you have a Maplin account BTW? I just buy from the shop in Tottenham Court Road from time to time - they're prety useless at keeping items...
Hello! Nope I don't have any account at Maplin's. But if you pass by your local shop, can they backorder components not in stock? Or does it take ages? I was...
TK, On Monday, Sep 6, 2004, at 14:22 America/Chicago, ... I have never heard of the Servisol Super 10. I can only comment on the Caig chemicals. They are more...
I think I can make the Sunday. Sadly the Saturday clashes with the local church's harvest supper, and as I'm playing the majority of the music (live!!) it's...

I finally should have the chance to hear the one of the late production models of the 57s from the early '80s, priced at $1100 U.S. I was thinking that as they...
