| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities I have heard 2905 and 2805...i prefer 2905 for its fuller sound and bass...perhaps not as seamless as 2805, but very good. I actually preferred Guarneri Homage to both...in a direct several hour session. Some old hands in audio were there and supp... | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities Hi happy to share thoughts offline in more detail. i would say SF Grands can sound special but only when set up right...Krell Evo402 was the only time i heard this and was quite shocked. The Homage series are closer to the sound you seek...but mor... | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities Hi Katamapah,You've done your homework. Quads really are special. As you already know, they just dont play super loud and their bass could be stronger. The new 2805s/2905s will play louder and lower from what i am told. will be interesting to hear... | |

Very, very low noise floor, smoooooth, deep powerful bass. just my opinion... Your ears are the only ones that matter! let us know if you try it, what you think! g... | |
| Need advice on CJ preamps I have owned CJ preamps for over 12 years and just got a third one. Totally agree...16II is stunning and matches the description of what you are looking for, as far as i can tell. Given that you like the Classic, i would be surprised if you were d... | |

| XLR to RCA Adapters If you are going RCA to XLR because you like the 2 components, then many people would say reterminate your RCA cable on one end...in order to get rid of the adaptor. As for SE vs Balanced, yes many people feel there is inherent superiority of Bala... | |
| XLR to RCA Adapters If you are confident you want the combination, keep your single ended cable and just have the ends going into the amp reterminated with XLRs. it obviously will NOT make this a balanced setup...but you wont have to fuss with adaptors. i have a CJ p... | |
