As far as coupling caps go, I prefer to always run them as close to their maximum voltage as possible on the basis that you're not leaving any part of the cap...
Well I'm using the 1000v 0.1uF Arcotronics caps from RS - very cheap and sound amazing! The best I've heard wa the beeswax jobbies, but the wax did melt in the...

I think I might give them a try, do you know the wattage of the original ones? If I could use 0.5W resistors it would be a much cheaper option but I don't know...
Bad news I'm afraid guys. Just had this response from Quad: "Thanks for your email. We have no plans to release the Quad II classic into the UK market ...
Some advance warning for those (like me) that missed the Tonbridge Audio Jumble - Ken Kessler (of HFN fame) has organised an "Audio and Record Fair" in...
How does that compare to the originals? 2k is about a months salary for me, what was it in the 50's? With prices of up to 1k for a mint original pair of QUAD...
Actually, it sounds like an astounding opportunity for someone in the UK with ties to Hong Kong or other Asian countries, that is if QUAD will honor their...
For those in sweden that want“s to hear a pair , can contact me. Cheers Tomas ... the ... QUAD ... what ... alternative ... borne ... cheap to ... why ... ...
Considering the Quad II gold plated 'Celebration' Quad II was also £2k, I think it's disgraceful. What annoys me the most is that it's not available over here...
The fact is Gary that Dealers and consumers a-like have been begging Quad for years to re-release the Quad II in England, not just because of it's history, but...
Any chance of being able to post some pictures - possibly of the inside of the amp as well? Interesting to see what component quality you get for your £2000....
Actually the rebirth or relaunch of the Quad II was on the cards in the very (very very!!) early 90s before KK became involved. I, along with several others,...
In 1968, £78 was close to 6 weeks average income before tax and deductions. £2k for 1960s technology is no bargain. Fred. John <seventiesfilmnut@...>...
This was including the Quad 22 control unit as well though Fred which makes it fairer. The current Quad II pair come minus a pre-amp I believe. Fact is this...

Fred, methinks you owe it to yourself to listen to a pair of well- maintained/restored Quad II's driving a pair of modern speakers, or indeed a restored pair...
P.S. I must add that newer does NOT always mean better in the world of Hi-Fi! The fact that so many people are enjoying music through - eeegad! - valves and...
On the whole I do agree about buying a vintage pair at say £500, spending a little time and money on restoring them. Mind you that is is you have the nerve...
You assume John. Over the years I have heard Quad IIs into such speakers as Tannoys, Quad fireguards, JBLs and Lowthers. Indeed they are nice. Quad IIs are...
