Hi...
Not sure if there's anyone out there listening but, I've got a couple of questions that you might be able to help me with.
I've just got hold of a mint condition Quad II amp with it's original valves. I don't have any documentation and appear to be missing the fuseholder cap and the voltage selector pin. I don't know if it works and believe it has stood idle for at least 15 years.
I'm waiting for a Quad 22 stereo pre-amp to arrive and can then start to test the Quad II to see if it still works.
Does anyone know of a supplier of Quad II spare parts, in particular, the items Ive mentioned. I'll also be on the look out for a mains cable so I can use the amp with a modern pre-amp.
Any recommendations for a preamp/cd/speaker system to use with a pair(I hope to get another one soon) of Quad II's?
I've been offered a second hand EAR 834L Pre-amp for £450.
Would this be a bit over the top for a pair of Quad II's?
Also, How do you go about changing the Quad II to work with a set of modern 8ohm speakers?
Any help or recommendations will be gratefully accepted.
Cheers
Steve
