Hi there group, just wanted to introduce myself to the group and ask a question: i was so chuffed to find a group dedicated to the Quad range of gear, i think...
drop quad uk an email, there very good at getting back to you, aif they serviced it they will have a record, but for peace of mind why not just let them give...
Paul, To know if your 606 is mk1 or mk2, carefully look at the TOP COVER edges of the 606. If its a STRAIGHT EDGE its mk1. If its BEVELLED its mk2. Cheers! ...
David Good luck with everything. Nice to have a wife who will tolerate a stacked pair of 57's, mine gave me the 'look' when I had a single pair. There is...
Cheers Lee, yep the stacked has a very low WAF (wife approval factor :-) )... but the deal was she could have a Great Dane puppy and i could have the first...
Hi There and welcome I dont know if you need an input for a record deck, but how about the Audiolab 8000Q (which is line only) I've just recently got one and...
People have shot me down for saying this before, but I maintain the stack works best with just one amp. I tried the double up 606 route about 10 years ago and...
Hi Graham, thanks for that, i'll take a nose at the 8000q. As for the 606, then i think its the Mk1, and it had a service by Quad 2006/7 (have the paperwork)...
Hi paul, i did try the 4 57's via the one 606 and it just seemed wrong to me, way way to much bass all of a sudden (the kind thats just to tireing after only a...
Right now i have 909 driving Quad 12L passive . But I ma hearing good comments about Quad 12L studio active and Quad 11L active. They are the new ones on the...
The 12-active is definitely more dynamic and transparent in nature when directly compared to its 12L passive version and I for one felt it lost its musicality...
Hello! I compared it to ESL2805 recently, as I have ESL-63 and was thinking of "downgrading" to the active 12L. Although the sound was musical and the image...
Hello Thomas, I must admit that the Quad electrostats, i.e. ESL-63 and the 2805 (though I wont trust China manufacture - you may call me what ever you wish)...
If your a lover of all things electrostatic then you'll know off the Stax headphones, and i've hankered after a pair of these for as long as i've loved the...
Headphones will never present a stereo image the way a speaker system does, from a stereo recording--at least not without electronic processing. This is to be...
Mmmm, appreciate the technical analysis, though my thoughts shared where of an emotive rather than logical, since i'm aware of the spacial problems but my...
A certain amount of crossfade can help with the left/right no centre aspect of headphones. http://www.head-fi.org/ and http://www.headwize.com/ are two...
No real surprises there. With headphones the left ear listens to what the engineer puts on the left channel and the same with the right. With speakers both...
Hi David: I'm a VERY Big fan of ANYTHING STAX. Actually I Sold And Owned STAX in the 70's. The headphones do take a while to break in, so just expect them to...
I think of our heads as complex structures of bone, tissue and tubes that conduct and modify sound presented to each ear at differing rates and phases and in a...
Hi All, I bought a Goodsell MA20 off Gary at the Audio Jumble last Sunday, and I wondered if anyone else has one of these as I'm looking for a circuit and ...
hi group can any one explain the difference between power amps 405 306 606 apart from power rating what is the difference if they are all current dumping ...
All of them have current dumping design. If I recall correctly, 306 and 606 have almost the same design. The only difference is that 606 has three pairs of...
Absolutely. And the interaction of left and right around the head is part of stereo! In fact, this is part of the basic idea of Blumlein's origian theory and...
I had both a 306 and 405. I liked the 306, but prefer the 405 as it has a much more open sound. The 306 is a more compact design, and seems to me to have more...
I find the 405 sounds rather brittle with female voices or piano and a tad lacking in reproducing thr colour of instruments like the volin. Gra' ... From:...
There is very little difference except power level between any of them. The biggest difference is that in the 405 the op-amp provides some amplification,...
Hi! How do you guys find the older 303? This is my most beloved amp, but i must admit that i havent really "listened" to any other quad transistor. How would...
I think it's excellent. There's a substantial body of opinion that holds that it sounds *better* than the current-dumping amplifiers. But they do need...
