I am new here and am looking at buying some Quad gear. I understand that new Quad gear is made in China. Has that suffered in anyway? Should I be looking for...
... You should consider *all* the older Quad gear, from the 22/II, 33/303, 44/405, 34/306, 66/606, 77/707, etc. It's all state of the art even today with the...
You cant use original Quad tube pre amps with SS power amps as the power supply for the preamp was provided BY the II power amp (well one of them) I think...
... You should be looking at the other way about actually. The Quad tube preamps are not the best thing they made, but *all* the Quad power amps are classics,...

There are endless really good pre amps around, but I like the Audiolabs, they seem to make a really good match with Quad power amps and so they should I guess...
Felix, I'm very happy with a MingDa MC-7R pre where I replaced the original valves with NOS Tesla valves (2xECC802+2xE83CC) and a NOS Mullard 5U4GB rectifier....
Quite agree and for a long time I have been content with my 34/FM4/306 system. My view is that the new range bears a bought-over badge but the heritage and...
I can completely agree. The 909 (like the 707) is in fact a 606 in another box. The best preamplifiers Quad made are the 34 and the 44. The 34 is a lot better ...
Sorry Stefaan, but the 99 is a way much better preamp than a stock 34 with all necessary service, or even totally hotrodded. A qQuad 99/909 combo can be had at...
I don't know about the 99 but I've owned and used the 34 (I had it fully Quad serviced), 66 and 77 ( all into 306 / 606). I liked the 66 most, then the 34 and...
I use the 99 pre with both 99 and 909 amps. I can't compare much with other pre amps, but I would say that if one wants it to sound a bit more "transparent"...
... one wants it to sound a bit more "transparent" (or perhaps I should just say brighter/leaner) try something like an Alphacore silver IC as opposed to the...
Hi "The 909 amplifier produces the same excellent, high quality, high spec, and reliable results as the 707. There are not sufficient differences to regard the...
Hi, I too am a fan of the 34/306 combination, but have always been slightly put off the newer pre-amps (66 onwards) by the lack of 'proper' controls - the...

Hello QUAD lovers, I often read here that people say that the QUAD power amplifiers younger than the 405 and 306, i.e. 606, 707, 909, are not longer current...
Yesterday I have been at TopAudio, the most important Italian hi-end exhibition. Surprisingly, all Quad products were shown by the Italian dealer in the Quad...
Hi Paul No you're right the 606, 707 & 909, which are all basically the same amplifier anyway all use current dumping, I think it's ones like the new 99's that...
Hello, There is a pair of Quad ESL 57's which are advertised on the Internet and which seem a good opportunity, as the owner is very close to the place where...
