Just make sure Ryan air dont take the Pisa outa your wallet. Added costs and customer service have been the subject of intense criticism lately. If ...
A joke goes that a traveller asked a uniformed person at Dublin Airport if he would direct him to the Ryan Air check-in desk. The uniformed man replied, "Feck...
I went to the nearest seller for listening to Harbeth Monitor 30. I found what I expected: I forgot of the speakers' performance and focussed on the...
Roberto, It's really good to hear someone standing up for themselves with one of these so called experts! I had the same problems buying a car. One dealer just...
Got to say that I would think twice about parting with money to this dealer. He doesn't sound any good at all. I would even be tempted to tell Alan Shaw about...
Roberto, The best place to buy Harbeth speakers is outside of the UK. Harbeth do not have many (any?) dealers left in the UK. If you did find a dealer in the...
Hi Roberto, I hope you find a better professional in your travels. I wonder if an e-mail to Harbeth might turn up a nearly new M30 or a seller they might...
Roberto, I would absolutely check out Dave's advice about the Epos if possible. Despite their relatively low price, it was one of the few speakers (admist...
Hi, Heskett's room is a square shape and we placed the M30s in a somewhat similar position to the P3s. There was a bit too much weight to the bass which made...
Hi Roberto, Laurence has my M30s now for a trial over Xmas, as well as my V2s. My wife says they have to go (bit too big - although I am tempted to actually...
I recently bought a Quad 66 Tuner, and replaced the second system's Denon 260L with the FM4, but after having a play with the Denon 260L, I found it'll work in...

Hi I apolgise but I haven't posted on this group for a while. I have an old QUAD33 which I am getting going again and I think it is in working order. I want...
I can offer you a set if you would like to contact me directly Stuart davidowens1968 <david.owens111@...> wrote: Hi I apolgise but I haven't posted on...
Hi, while connecting my speaker cable with another poweramplifier, I did forget that my Quad II where stil under voltage. After one hour, I figured out that I...
I guess it depends on if any input signal was fed into the Quad II at that time. Correct me if I am wrong, please. Regards, Thomas ... From: cyril_san To:...
I have a FmII that I use with my 22. The output seems to be very high. IF I put the volume at 2 or 3 the level is comfortable though it still seems high.. If...
Hello, I'm back to the topic (I've been offmail for few days). Fred, Mike: I should have said that the seller has been polite mostly all the time, so I cannot...
Hi David Quad IIs need 1.4V for 15 watts output but the 33 only produces 0.5V. So, unless you are making some modifications, you will probably be short of...
It's unlikely. The design was supposed to be stable 'under any load' conditions, which includes 'no load'. I have regularly used Quad IIs at shows, and when...
From memory (and I'm sure others will correct me on this if I'm wrong) the output on the 34 was 775 mV, while on the 22 is was 1.4volts, or 1400mV. Therefore,...
When I use the 34 with the Quad II's I changed the output on the 34 to 1.6mv, would all now be equal with the 22 or am I missing something? THanks, John ... ...
I would have expected things 'to be equal' or as near as. I wonder whether any others have experienced this conundrum? See if anyone else in the group responds...
Chris, This 22 that I have has had ever cap and resistor changed in it, it it possible that the output has been manipulated? if so where might I look to see if...
A lot of modern caps have a much lower ESR (electrical series resistance) than older (ie original) ones. THis means that when the output goes through a cap, it...
Chris, In your opinion do you think that a it could be a bad volume pot? I just changed the resistors in the tape pod to accomodate my quad 77 cd player and...
Hi Chris, Your point about ESR prompts me to observe that some capacitors hyped and heard as super grade audiophile quality may be little more than modern. ...
Agreed. I like to think that the only reason for replacing older caps is their age and the increased liklihood of potential failure. There is no doubt that we...
Roberto: At the risk of being challenged by folk much more technically competent than me, the ESL63 as a dipole radiator should be placed ideally 1/3 of the...
Hi Stephen, Since you seem to have both the 66 and FM4, is it possible for you to tell me how the two differ in terms of sound? I'm thinking of purchasing a...
Err.. I'm ashamed to say I didn't really do a side by side, no that;s not true I was using a FM4 for years then just stuck in the 66, and to be honest there's...
