Re: Quad II and Quad 22 with modern sources and speakers
Okay, from what I can tell, I've got one thing right - I've managed to get myself a pair of Quad II's. Everything else is up in the air!!
Am I on the right lines with the Qutest? I was originally going to build a system around that, before I got my hands on the Quads.
I've now concluded that whatever I do to the Quad's, I should not make any changes irreversible - I get the logic for that.
Also, don't believe the hype - £1k for Quad a pre-amp may be a trap? Nobody came back to me on the Audiolab M-Dac? That would solve the pre-amp and ditch the Qutest idea. I've coveted Audiolab for decades, but never owned any of their kit.
What about a passive pre-amp with volume control. I've seen a few, but there is not much written about them that I would understand.
David -I confess, there is a bit of bragging to be done, I won't lie. I have friends to compete with as we all do, but I'm not afraid of the unorthodox, if there is an intellectual and ultimate performance argument to be won in doing so.
