Quad 988 / 989 reliability ??
I've had my Quad 988s since December and haven't had any problems whatsoever. For what it's worth, Hi FI Farm is no longer a Quad dealer, and, if you look back over the last few years, products that Steve and his salesmen say leave other equipment...

Power Cable or Power Conditioner?

Krell vs Levinson vs Pass vs Rowland
