| Weather-induced amp performance variation Hopefully the amp manufacturers produce their products to be reasonably stable at a "range" of temperatures. The few degree swings in a normal day should not amount to much once the electronics heat up, and then settle in.Going from a very cold ro... | |
| Rega Exact on a Rega P5 - opinions? Dear Slate1,I have the "exact" same set up you are inquiring about. I currently own the Rega P-5, with the Rega Exact cartridge played through an 'all' Quad system with 909 amp. The records sound superb!I previously owned the pro-ject perspective ... | |
| Favorite SS Amp? I am truly amazed by the Quad 909. I bought the 909 2 months ago, and I am literally astounded at how good it is and the reasonable price.It is very well regarded amongst the audio writers/reviewers too. | |
| The best var. out CD player for under 1500 used? The Quad 99 CD-P has variable out and very useful digital inputs as well. Several Publications have given it glowing reviews. I love mine!I had "both" McIntosh and Sony SACD units. The Quad 99 sounds much more musical and detailed. The remote and ... | |

| Preamp to use with Quad 909 Amp Hi Jim,I bought the Quad 11L's. These are superb little speakers, stand mounted monitors. Their reviews were so impressive by so many I bought them. They are a great match for the all Quad system.However, I am keeping a pair of Quad 22L's in the b... | |
| Preamp to use with Quad 909 Amp Hi Jim,For years I used an all McIntosh/Magnepan system (very good). I recently bought the Quad 909 amp, 99 pre, 99 cd-p, and quad speakers. The sound is simply phenomenal. I also love the ease of use and system synergy of the 99 preamp with 909 a... | |
| good, small speakers I just purchased the Quad 11L's. I did in home comparisons between many well regarded and reviewed speakers. These were my favorites. Their appearance and build quality is second to none too! | |
| QUAD or Arcam ? Dear Acarlisle,I have quad 11L's. The system that drives them is the QUAD CD-P, 99 PREAMP AND 909 POWER AMP. I get amazing sound, especially for the cost compared to many other brands.The remote functions, system flexibility and build quality are ... | |
| any new Quad 11/12L owners? I just revamped my sound system. I bought the Quad 11L's, QUAD 99 CD, QUAD 99 preamp, QUAD 909. WOW! I wish I did this sooner. Best sound I've had. My old system was more than twice the price too! | |

| Tuner recommendations Hello Nrchy,I spent many years without a tuner and built an all McIntosh Magnepan system for records. Well I got the bug for FM again, both for N.P.R. news & talk as well as music. I shopped tuners on A-Gon and eBay for a few weeks. I bought a... | |
| What are the best speakers for Mahler? Remarkable question! Several years ago I had PSB Stratus Bronze speakers and an Audio Refinement Complete amp. I was generally satisfied UNTIL I played MAHLER Symphonies and HOLST'S Planets. I felt my system was just that, "a system".I did extensi... | |
| Venturing into Vinyl - Phono Stage Questions Dear Eric,I was using the phono section of my McIntosh MA-6500 and it was pretty decent. On a whim I purchased the $300 clear audio micro basic phono stage and was very suprised how much improvement it made. I use a Pro-Ject Perspective with Blue ... | |
| Gruve Glide I am in full agreement with Lugnut (as usual). I've been using GruvGlide for over 15 years, and I have treated all of my 1500 records. It completely zaps out the static and makes the record sound better. Nothing is easier or cheaper to use. I use ... |
