I have to agree with Fred. By this time I would insist on a new machine or my money back including the original cost of the machine. As you say, for a company...
Wow, six returns for service?? You're getting nickel and dimed to death! Who is the service agent for Quad in Canada (like, who serviced your unit)? It...
I fear I'm going to put the cat amongst the pidgeons here, but here goes. I've just bought a second-hand Quad 77 Integrated amplifier, and I've plugged it in...
Did you try to relocate your speakers in the room to optimize the sound? In my case (I own a quad 99), after changing cables, I had to relocate the speakers...
Sorry, guys but I'm going to put the cat among the pigeons as well. I went to a live concert on saturday night, and believe it or not I actually asked my wife...
I spent some years with a British company that imported and supported highly specialised American, Canadian and German equipment as sole agents. Correlations...
Hello Jonathan Try experimenting with "absolute phase", it may improve imaging. On both channels, reverse the speaker connections (i.e. connect the amp plus...
Hello Just a thought, but are you also suffering from lack of bass too? Are you sure you're speakers are in phase? Appologies in advance if this is the first...
Hi Richard, To my ears I am still lacking the bass I would have expected. However the speakers are in phase as I double checked. That was my query about the...
HI: I'm a new member. I've admired QUAD products for years. Two years ago I purchased the QUAD CDP CD player. Within the last month I've added the QUAD 909...
I agree with Chris. I recently went to a live concert in the Concertgebouw here in Amsterdam and sat in the middle of the balcony directly facing the ...
Hello Of course you may also want to reproduce the magic of the recording studio (George Martin and all that pop stuff) in which case stereo imaging would be...
Hi Jonathan Since you have boldly placed the cat.... hee hee! My swipe..... I find it all very strange. If one can hear the instruments more clearly and thus...
Well Mark, (counter-swipe on the way!) Regarding oboeists, no, but trombonists are better behind the stage in the dressing room (;-)). More seriously, your...
Hi Jonathan With regards to the trombone, i think one needs to consider the scoring / music / venue .... in fairness to good trombonists of the world...there...
I can't speak of the imaging issue, but I did note a bit of the "nasality" thing when I hooked up the 99amp/99pre with old Spica TC-50s. Perhaps not...
Hello The 99 is a class B amp whereas I believe the 77 is current dumping (different principle different design), so they shouldn't sound particularly the same...
I would like to directly connect a Phonopreamp to my Quad IIs. EAR and Brinkmann are offering Phonopreamp with volume control. Do you have experience which...
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone will be able to advise on a problem with my 405. Briefly, one channel has stopped working. On inspection, FS2 has blown and...
I have 2 of these that I would like to dispose of, they include OPT, MT and Choke. So far as I can recall none of them are working but they might suit a...
Hello It's more likely to be the other way around ie TR10 has blown and taken the fuse with it. I'd replace both the outputs and the driver transistors + check...
After you replace the output transistors before you power up the amplifier you should disconnect the output protection circuit by remoning the blob of solder...
I would be interested in your faulty transformers and would be happy to pay for postage or I can have them collected by courier. I have had new mains...

Does anyone know if these pre-amps are voltage specific? IF I purchased one from the UK to use here in the states with my 120 volt Quad II's would it work?? ...
Thanks for the tips. I've removed the solder blob and tested the output voltage and it is identical on the working board and the faulty one i.e. only a few mV....
