Hi, Thanks for your comments. I changed C56 just because it was an electrolytic but for some reason I appear to have overlooked C30. I note that I have seen...
Hello, After reading the recent suggestions for updating/upgrading the FM-4 I opened mine (bought in 1983 and never opened before) for examining possible...
My FM4 had been stored (by me) for about 8 years, the battery had leaked. I removed it, cleaned the circuit board with alcohol (IPA) and fitted a small plastic...
Leakage in the FM4 is usually caused by the battery, not by the capacitors. You may check the article by Joost Plugge about capacitor leakage in the 34 (caused...
OK I've changed the C50 and C51 to Panasonic 1u MKP's (from my scrap box) and replaced R52/R56 too. C30 is interesting...in my FM4 it is a tantalum cap. I...
I'd like to freshen up some 57's with some new felt (behind the tweeter) and jute. Anyone have any suggestions and/or sources for material to replace these...
I would think that this would be hard to find. If the paintwork is poor you have not much to loose by welding up the holes and repainting. I think I saw some...
Hello all, I have made all modifications to my FM-4 and replaced all capacitors, resistors, diodes and battery which were mentioned at this site during the...
 Also, might anyone know how to brighten up the display?  Mine is as yet untouched and can also flicker as Paul's does but I'm holding back to do an...
I have the same problem. However the flickering is a change in the frequency displayed, it won't respond to any of the station preset buttons or the tuning...
I have found the best sound yet with my 2905's. I'm using the smaller room which is 12'X13' with the Quads on the 12' length of wall. They are about 4' from...
I would suggest that being only 4' from the speakers is a part of your problem. The ring structure of the speaker, with the sequential delays, results in a...
This is very interesting Tony. I've never read this before. I always assumed that since the 2805/2905 were a "single-driver" speaker, it was possible to sit...

... I don't think it is. The ELS-57 and -63 certainly have multiple panels. The 63 has the annular stuff to make it *sound* like a point source, but it isn't....
Hi guys, I have some quad 57s without feet, ie they are legless. Does anyone have some feet to sell or know where they can be purchased? Thanks DJ To:...
Hi, I tried a Marantz 7c preamp with the 57s and it sounded sublime. Even with some VTL MBL 125s I have sitting around not doing much. Has anyone tried the 7c...

Need a bit of help. I sent a pair of Quad II's to Northern Ireland, and even though I triple boxed them the courier still managed to bend a chassis on one...
Hi there Quad Germany certainly will have them, other wise they do come up on ebay from time to time Simon ... http://www.quadesl.com/ ... Behalf ... source,...
A hammer (or vice) and two blocks of wood may be the best bet, since the IIs seem to be made of good quality resilient metal.. If a courier bent my IIs I would...
Hallo, We ship between 1 and 5 Quads per week to everywhere in Europe as well as about 15 other packages. For Quads we only use UPS since the Postal service...
Hi Stefaan, My 405's good looks are ruined by a big chunk missing from the right hand side cheek (looking from the front). Do you also happen to have one of...
