... You probably already know this, but did you check you have set maximum volume for both iTunes and the system volume? They have independent volume...
I'm not sure if the output from the Mac mini is truly line level ? Perhaps it's designed to power a pair of headphones ? Anyhow I had a similar issue with my...
I would buy an external USB audio adapter (with a D/A converter). This is cheap and very very good: http://www.trendsaudio.com/EN/Product/USB_Audio_desc.htm ...
Simo THANKS! - that's done it! (I'd got the iTunes volume up full, but the system volume was only at 50% - at 75% it matches the level of my Quad CD Player...
Hi, Thanks for that - I think it's ok to mention Radford - and these are also required for a Radford. How do you rate the sound of the Tungsram ECF82 from...
The Tungsram sound good to me - and are extremely quiet. In the Radford they are phase splitters after a pair of EF86's. I use a pair of Mil Spec EF86's and...
Hi All Thanks to everyone for the excellent replies and debate. Through the forum I found out that my mistake was that I had the system volume down to 50%,...
Squeezebox (now made by Logitech) is very good for this, having a good inbuilt DAC, digital or analogue outs, and connections on the computer side either by...
Hi, Thanks for the info. At a bit of a tangent whilst looking through a May 1971 copy of Practical wireless I saw Z&I Aero were selling the Zaeux (Tungsram)...
Good evening all I've recently obtained few QUAD pieces and would like to start bu upgrading the Power Amp -- which is a 306. Is there someone who does a kit...
Hello Bruce, Dada Electronics in Belgium is currently developing an upgrade kit, within a few weeks the kit should be ready. It will adress the folowing ...
Hi there joost I have written to DaDa three times about your 606 upgrades, once via your E bay listing and have recieved no reply. Are you no longer interested...
Sorry graham i must have missed the emails, i do apologise mainly i was looking for a new set of case for the tuner 66 and the 606 power amp because the ones...
Hi, Graham, I am sorry to hear that you didn't receive our answer on 16 and 25 october by e-mail. I guess something has gone wrong. We'll resend the answer...
Many thanks for your info Joost. Let me know when your kit is ready although I might have tackled it myself by then! I've sourced the caps and taken advice to...
Hi Bruce I'd strongly recommend replacing the bootstrap C7 cap (2 pcs - one on ea ch) with a Blackgate N type 47uF 50V. This will make the "biggest" single...
I'd rather recommend to replace them by Nichicon 47µF 63V, which have excellent ESR values and a price of 0,39 Euro. Try it, dont be scared. Electronics is...
I was just wondering on the subject of the output and power supply electrolytics in a 303 is it biggest is best or are their other factors to take into account...
Hi, Bill, Technology has advanced a lot the last 40 years. Capacitors have become a lot smaller ... and a lot better. A Nichicon 4700 µF 100V is only 4cm high...
There are dangers in increasing PSU capacitance much beyond what the initial designer specified. Increased capacitance reduces the conduction angle of the...
I need to make an interconnect to connect 2 405 monoblocks to a preamp with phono outputs. I know the pin layout, but does it matter whether I wire the din...
If the monoblocks are wired the way they should be, pin 1 and 3 are connected together. You can easily test this by switching on the amp and putting a smaller ...
... OK. Thanks. That's what I thought. I can't test it myself as the amps aren't mine. I assumed both channels would be connected. Is that absolutely safe by...
... smaller ... At this voltage-level (between the preamp and the power amp) it is safe to use the "screwdriver-trick" as we are at 0 dBm level (0,775 mV) so...
There are some 0.5W carbon composition resistors in Farnell's catalogue,their names are Tyco and Ohmite. Anyone used them to replace Quad II's before and...
I'm puzzled. I've used a 33/303 combination for 20 years (with LS3/5as and later ESL57s) and have always been very satisfied. I recently read in a thread in a...
Personally I think the 33 is a little gem. I think it's a shame that it hasn't enjoyed the cult following of some other pieces of audio gear which in my view...
Thanks, Chris. No, I've always liked my 33 - the only reason it isn't currently in use is that I got a rather nice 44 from eBay. No, I was just puzzled at the...
