Re: Quad II and Quad 22 with modern sources and speakers
Just a word of warning. When I decided to ditch the 22 I modified the Jones plugs to take a phono socket. Looked smart, but one day I found smoke coming from the rpeamp! This was due to a small leakage on the plug subjecting the preamp to a dose of HT which it didn't like. The 22 wouldn't have cared less, of course. The simple answer was to isolate the HT feed to the Jones socket.
As these amplifiers are sought after in original condition I'd be unhappy about making any non-reversible changes such as fitting a phono or XLR socket, a view I expect Quad themselves will share.
