Hi everyone, I have just acquiered a 33 & 303 ss combo. I would like to get some insights of the various upgrades available for these. I am currently using a...
Think you need to talk to the guys at Dada electronics, they are on the net (just do a search) on E bay and on here! Dont think there is anything they dont...
Hi, I've had my QUAD 303 and QUAD 405-II power amplifiers fully upgraded by Net Audio. The work is first rate and the end result is a pair of great sounding...
Thank you Dave, Thank you for your informative comments. As I am driving stacked esl's. My idea is to build a set-up that could have some perennity in it, the...
Hi Michel, Any QUAD amplifier will work well and will sound good with QUAD ESLs. I bought my first QUAD 33/303 set-up back in the 1970s and I've always had at...
Thank you Graham, My search have brought me to Dada electronics. They certainly do a great deal of work for the Quad ss products. I remember having read a ...
I just realise that I misread the Ebay offer. The Dada Electronics board are actualy just about the same price as the replacements from Quad. I did not notice...
There is a vast difference in designing new boards than cloning Quad, Meridian, Naim etc I am sure that some kind of copyright is involved particularly when...
Well after running Exposure for a while, I am getting some new Quad stuff (againg) last time I had QuadII-forties and QC 24 with 909 at nights. This time...
Technically the reproduction of a circuit is an infringement of the copyright in the original circuit diagram, which copyright will last for another 60-odd...
I was doing some research (Googling) on the 66 PRE and I came across this photo: http://www.audiocostruzioni.com/r_s/pre/quad66-quad405-2/quad%2066%20pre.jpg ...
OK, it's an earlier model. Can anyone confirm how to do a quick check on the 33's balancer pot? Presumably it's a case of seeing resistance increase/decrease...
I've been asked to check whether there were any changes made to the protection circuitry in Quad 63's that differentiate the earlier models from the later. Lee...
Hello Lee, Yes the clamping level was changed at some point. This is described in the service data. Download : http://www.zone4.nl/file/11619 Jeroen...
There's no point in checking the balance control if you can get full stereo via another input. As long as it can balance to left and right it is functioning...
Last summer I upgraded my 33 using the dada kit and I need to adapt the disk board to better suit my setup. Currently I am using a Thorens TD-160 as my main...
Use the M2 position of the disc adapter board: this is for 5.6mV nominal input level. You could improve the matching slightly by changing R101/102/103/104 on...
I don't know if there's an issue with your mail or sthg, Stefaan, but I've tried to write a couple of times with no response. It'd be great to see the...
Hi All Know this is somewhat off topic as having no Quad content, but hey, its the right era and it is Quad ancilliary :-) I've just fitted an SME 3009mkII...
My take on 1 point vs. 2 point is that the 2 point is usually more accurate, but harder to get absolutely right, whilst 1 point is fit and forget. I feel it...
It's a well made point, it's just that i am getting back into Vinyl replay big time (and having to rebuild my collection from nothing having lost my LP's to...
"is it maybe like the argument about antiskate where it would appear to be an entirely good idea but there are arguments against?" Graham, I cannot think of...
HeHe I knew I shouldnt have mentioned the anti antiskate camp, didnt say i agreed with it, but think you will find some VERY high end arms are produced...
Last night I noticed a very slight hum coming from one of the speakers. The system was off and hadn't been played since the night before. By comparison, the...
Just my 2ha'penny worth, but I've always found my ARO and Ittok ll much better with the anti skating at zero, or in the ARO's case the counter weight...
Does the speaker only hums, or do you hear occasional "pops" from it? possible cause can be that one of the bass panels is loosing charge due to failure of...
