Looking at the figures I posted in my last message,and having been cogitating a little, I have a distinct feeling that the 6BR7s should be running rather...
And I forgot to mention something... Those of you who have poked about inside your Quad IIs will have noticed that the wiring is all tied together and runs...
There is very little about the 6br7 on the net except this article http://www.audioxpress.com/resource/audioclass/ga699ac.pdf which advocates keeping away from...
... advocates ... Yes, but pentodes provide plenty of gain, and with a combined input and driver stage they provide a good solution. The negative feedback ...
Hello all! It's been a while since I wrote in, but that because I've been working on locating a new mains transformer. Just for a catch up, I recently...
Hello! The mains transformer might have had a preamp and two tuners sucking from it, then it usually gives up. Do yourself a favour and change the PSU caps to...
Thanks for the good words. I might add that all of the caps all of the caps WERE replaced, with the exception of the 2 16 uF that hide in side of the box...
The 'proper' rectifier for the Quad II is a GZ32. THis is capable of 'supporting' a capacitor of 32mF. Quad used a 16+16 because TOC (I think) had one readily...
I am trying to get info on making recordings of my vinyl collection onto CD does anyone have any recommendations on a good sound card / software set-up to...
Hello Bill It is a most time consuming and boring process!! I started with intentions of putting my ALL vinyl onto CDs and have given up:~( I think its easier...
Hi I'm the webmaster of the site Quad Francophone at: http://cf.geocities.com/quadfranco/ a Quad gears site in french. Quadworld Anybody know what happend with...
I Stefaan Your are right, it's a scandal :-) I've correct it in the links's page. Congratulation for your site. ... Vous avez raison c'est un scandale :-) que...
Would you recommend a 25V, or a 50V rated 25uF at the cathode? All I'm able to find from my usual sources are Sprague Atom electrolytics. They don't specify...
... JK already mentioned the M-Audio Audiophile, I'm using that too... the E-Mu 0404 PCI is another cheap but good option. You *can* get by with a free audio...
I took the easy way (not for classical music) and downloaded all the vinyl albums I owned and wanted to play on my MP3 player at AllofMP3 for about 2 - 3 US$...
Hello! It doesn't matter, really. But 50 V doesn't hurt to have. Look for F & T bipolars. You can also bypass it with a small film cap, as other have done. ...
Was wondering if anyone has heard 300B push pull amps used on Quad ESL 57 and how did they sound? I have just aquired some Quad ESL 57s and am wondering what...
Wayne, Mark Mason brought along a Cary 300b integrated amplifier to the QUADfest a few years ago. This was hooked up to the QUAD ESL57s that Jerry Davis ...
Hi everybody I am downsizing my Hifi and before I put these on EBay I am selling a pair of immaculate ESL 63's they were serviced by One Thing Audio last...
Hello all members I have recently joined your group in the hope of learning more about my ESL speakers. The 63's were a replacement for my TDL RTL 3s. I spent...
Welcome, Mark, congratulations for your ESL-63 purchase. While I own and love ESL-57's, I have heard quite a few 63's and imo and for my taste tube amps are...
I have until this year always used a 34 405-2 combination. I purchased a Sugden C51 P51 pre power amp setup (dates from 1978). These amps are stated as...
I'd go for a Quad 606, but I am partial, I have two of them :-) I know the things are rated at 140W+ but are eminently suitable and have unforced musicality...
Can anyone suggest where I can obtain a new 16uf +16uf capacitor for my 22 pre or a suitable replacement. I know I can get one from Quad, though I thought...
... Judging by the values I am guessing that this is for a tube (valve) pre. Any value larger (within reason) and will fit in the space will do. Do you care if...
Hi Mark, I recommend a 405 or higher. Make sure the amp is in good shape. After a year or so when you 'know' your speakers better, then you can always try...
It should have read Speaker Stands by GFD Designs and I don't know why all the paragraphs were jumbled up it was OK on the Leak group it should have read Hi...
