Hello All! Does anybody have any information on these? There's one going on ebay (serial:230!) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5873271622 ...
Hi Peter, I was wondering what you used when you sprayed your grilles in bronze. I've tried this with a metallic copper coloured spray paint a couple of times...
Hi Ross & Peter & everyone. The best way to refurbish a pair of bronze grills is to get them anodised. I live in Yorkshire & there are quite a few colour ...
I've been buying records on E-Bay lately and I got a few Mobile Fidelity UHQR's. (I wish I bought them 20 years ago!!) The bass off those records is incredible...
I've some of the japanese-pressed MF "Original Master" HMV/Decca transfers (but no UHQR - which were limited runs <5000). They're what you say - far...

Folks, Quad recently repositioned itself in the Australian market dropping prices by as much as 35%. No longer the domain of the very rich, Quad products may...
Having searched around a bit for a suitable valve pre-amp I have found that most seem to put out way more than the 0.5V input of the 303. (up to 25V in one...
Hi Neil. I have every sympathy with your experience, and from my experience of over twenty years of reviewing hi-fi gear of all types from all price ranges,...
Hello Neil, First off, i am not an expert and i do not own 988's. But i have experience with the 63's, completely rebuild with new factory fresh panels (the...
... you think that this will drive my 303 without causing any problems? ... Out of interest I tried a Meridian 101 (c.1978) pre into the 303. I had the 75ohm...
Frank, I regularly use a Meridian 502 and a Rega Cursa 3 with my QUAD power amplifiers (QUAD IIs, 303, 405-II, and 50Es). Both work fine with all power ...
Hello Dave. I think that your experience points to the desirability of actually hearing the 'match' to ensure that all's well. There are quite likely other...
Hi Frank, Listening is the ultimate test. The true bargain is the Rega Cursa 3 - loads of inputs, discrete components in the main signal path, buffered tape...
-Hi, I have owned 57`s and currently own a pair of 63`s also a pair of ls3 5a`s and Rogers Studio 1a`s, my experiences with the 57`s were good in a slightly...

Thank you, Dave. I must have a look. (If you hear any sound at the moment, it may be that of my bank manager rubbing his hands together......) ... [Non-text...
Geraint, I gave you some wrong information over prices. I forgot that I had previously paid a deposit when I ordered a QUAD 24 / II-40 system. As the QUAD...
The 501 turns up on eBay fairly regularly - usually under *300*. The 502 much less frequently - and rather (a lot?) more. As usual there can be unexplained...
Hi Frank, There are a lot more inputs than sockets - part of the set-up is to align input to a socket (and if you wish to adjust the sensitivity). All very ...
