| Cartridge recommendations for Rega RB 1000 Many thanks for the response and all the suggestions. Need to figure out if and how a RB1000 can be mounted on the armboard supplied for the RB300.I am not sure but I guess I need to get 3 holes drilled to screw down the 3 point fitting of the ton... | |
| Quad 2905 amp matching According to Quad a max of 100w is required. Am using a CJ 70S rated at 70wpc(configured for 8ohms) with the 2905s. Quite often with the preamp( CJ CT5)showing a gain of 60db,the self protection circuit kicks in and one of the speakers shuts off. ... | |
| Sutherland PhD Issues MarkMany thanks to you and the others on this thread. It was a RFI problem. I replaced the phono cable from the TTie Clearaudio Emotion with a Cardas Golden Cross and viola the Phd has started shutting off even with the CDP playing. Something that... | |

| Musical Fidelity kw DM 25 Transport and DAC I replaced a 6 yr old ARCAM FMJ CD 23 with the MF kw 25 duo nearly 6 months back. While the Arcam FMJ was a solid performer,the MF 25 is in an altoghter different league. Is the MF 25 the best cd playback out there ? Probably not.Given the limited... | |
| QUAD 2905 . humidity and reliability I live in New Delhi, India, where the humidity levels during the monsoons tend to be high. I have owned a pair of ML Odysseys for a year and a half and a pair of Quad 2905s for the past six months. The secret is air con.Have experienced more probl... | |
| Quad 2905 versus Quad 2805 plus subwoofer I have owned a pair of 2905s for nearly 6 months. Properly setup the bass is awesome not in the Wilson Watt Puppy way but deeply satisdfying. By setup I mean apart from placement, the speakers should be rock steady using the supplied spikes.I woul... | |
| Break in period Many thanks for taking the time and the effort to respond.I guess I am going to do nothing special apart from savoring some good/great single malt and let the CJs gradually overwhelm me. I began a complete revamp of my system in Sept 2006 with the... | |
| Speakers to replace Martin logan Prodigys I replaced my ML Odysseys with Quad 2905s with great results. Nothing wrong with the MLs except that the ESLs are in a different league. If room size is a constraint, the 2805s are more than worth a audition.NJoy | |
| Quad 2805 Toe In Experience? Hi Papak,My dealer demoed the 2905s in a room that was less than 14'wide. My listening room is also 14'wide and I am getting solid LFE, not in the Wilson Audio sense, but still deeply satisfying. IMHO its the distance from the front wall that is r... | |
| help for quad position The long wall coz the distance from the side walls does't matter.The Quads can almost touch the side walls with no impact on sound quality. You need to bring them out into the room, hence as much distance from the front wall as is practical.Njoy | |
| Quad 2805 Toe In Experience? I am using a pair of Lyrita audio mono blocs. They are made by a friend in New Delhi, India, where I live. You have probably not heard of them. They use a pair of EL34s. Check them out at www.lyrita-audio.in/ I have ordered thru the Indian dealer ... |
