If it were me, I'd ask Quad for the input sensitivities for the amps and if they were the same, I'd try it. You hadn't thought of using a 520 rather than than...
I've just heard from John Bell that the last few pairs of brand new Rogers LS3/5As are still available. I believe that there are 7 pairs or less. So if anyone...
Hi all I've been lurking on this list for some time, enjoying everyones knowledge. I joined the group to find more information on quad II, ESL 57 and 63,...
Gareth, The answer is YES but to do it you will need a special signal input cable that goes from QUAD 4-pin DIN plug to 2 x QUAD 50E input plugs. I run my QUAD...
When replacing the coupling caps does the value change if you are not using caps where as the outer metal jacket is acting as a ground? any recommendations on...
Hello! As always I recommend the Russian teflons K72 and PIOs K40y. Most bang for the buck IMHO. Use 0.047uF/200V teflons to fit more easily. The PIOs can have...
Hi. I've been lurking since I got a pair of MacMod 405s..I'll introduce myself properly one of these days. But: I used these Russian caps on my Leak ST50...
Hi John, The original coupling capacitors are PIO Hunts 0.1uf. As they are grounded, this causes a capacitance to earth of around 22pf. This was a design...
Good post. Thoroughly concur with the views expressed. Just be aware, the 'old guys' knew a thing or two, and not everything that happens in a unit is actually...
Hello Graeme, I appreciate the information. I have a few more question for you. If I were to use something close to the original paper/oil caps are they stil...
Hi John, Glad to be of some help. The Original Hunts Caps are no longer made i believe BUT, i know a man who can supply ORIGINAL NOS HUNTS! I've just bought a...
I got my new 99CDP-2 a month ago (new series). So far, I noticed that the display showed an "Err" message while reading a CD disk (three or four times), and...
Hi Yes, on a number of CDs at start-up. Usually because of a defective TOC (table of content) track, which the laser tracks on start-up and cannot read...
Hello Most of you have other equipment in addition to the QUADs that you own. (I have the 22/II.) Can any one help me with a circuit diagram for the current...
Graeme, I would like to double check with you in regard to the silver mica 33pf cap, is this cap in place of C1 .1uf or is this in addition to C1 with 1 cap...
Hello! Maybe some of you can help... I gor an FM99 extremely cheap, of course it had problems. The tuner gives a signal, I can scan the band, but after a...
Hi John, I thought i'd already replied to this but my reply doesn't appear to have been posted, which has happened before? Strange. The 33pf caps are in...
THanks graeme, just wanted to make sure before I undertake. Regards, JOhn ... From: graeme.boyd To: quadhifi@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, November 05, 2006...
I have a question I hope someone can help me with. I recently replaced all the resistors on both my Quad II, afterward I noticed a small static electricity...
Does anybody have a *legible* copy of the Quad 303 bridging instructions? The one that floats around the Web, including the one in the Files section here, is...
I've been dissatisfied with its performance for a while....so having had a good study of the pcb I realised that all the output signals are channeled through...
... Yes mine did this [upgrade from old transport] contacted quad ...had a new transport fitted and now everything is fine ...in fact better than that...
Apart from a technical glitch, this happens to me when I try to load copy protected disks, especially EMI's. It takes a long time for the disc to load, the led...
Thanks for the input! I took some foto's of the innards of my Integraded 77 as well as the CD 77, which I will post shortly. Plenty of opamps visible, but...
Hi, I can provide a set of 4BA screws in stainless for Quad 303 amplifiers. These screws reduce the amount of magnetic material in the amplifier so as to...
Hi Another thing that I may do with audio CDs (other than copy protected ones) with flaky TOCs and other errors is to use my computer to copy them using Exact...
