Hi, my old Quad cd player performs ok but sometimes it is still skipping. So I came up with the idea of buying an Artera Play+ to serve as a cd player and pre-amp and combine it with the 606 MK2....

Thanks for your reply. In that case I would opt for keeping the Quad MKII and add a new cd-player. Unless there would be a significant sonic / technical improvement when replacing the amplifier. But...

Thanks for your reply. Longevity and soundquality are more important to me than esthetics. That's why I find it hard to choose what option would be good: at least I think I should replace my cd...

Thanks for your suggestions. I will test my current Quad cd player and sell it if it stays ok. Thanks for the Marantz suggestion, looks good.

Hi, recently my Quad 66 cd player started skipping. I disassemble / reassembled / cleaned the device, checked its bearings etc. and everything seems ok at the moment. But as this second hand device...

Hi, thanks for your replies and directions. I will study the article at audiokarma, it looks interesting. At least I could give it a try and try fixing it myself, if possible... I will keep you...

Hi,

it has been a while since my last visit at this forum, but I'm still enjoying audio. I'm currently in the process of building a new, bigger, pair of electrostatic loudspeakers.
...

Thanks for your reply, can you explain why the Quad 67 would be preferable to the 66?

Hi,

two weeks ago I bought a second hand Quad 66 cd player for 280 euro's. I think that's a lot of money for such an old product, but as I love my (also second hand) Quad 606 MK2 pre and power...

Yes it has a switch to seperate pre - and power amplifier.

Hi all,

I've built my own pair of full-range electrostatic loudspeakes. I'm quite happy with them and they are big (door size) panels. Although stats can be difficult to drive my current aplifier...

I've built three electrostatic loudspeakers during my lifespan and currently I'm using two of them - one being a hybrid panel (mid / high) paired with a transmission-line subwoofer and one rather big...

Hi everyone, thanks for your replies. Unfortunately the owner wants about 500 euro's for these speakers which is above my budget. But I'm still interested in magneto static planar loudspeakers so I...

Hi all,

after about 1.5 - 2 years of building DIY electrostatic loudspeakers I'm curious about Magnepans / magnetostatic loudspeakers. I plan to buy a cheap pair of secondhand Magnepan...

Hi everyone,

it has been a while since my last visit, but right now my hybrid electrostatic are almost finished. I use a CD player as a transport together with a DSP for equalization. So I want to...

Is the DA-converter responsible for the lower sound quality of the 2x4 HD compared to the 4x10? Would, in that case, it be an alternative to get a nanoDIGI 2x8 B together with separate DA converters?...

Hi,

I'm still considering to buy a MiniDSP like the 2x4 HD but still hesitating as I'm not sure if sound quality is compromised? I've read about limited amount of taps (2042 taps per chanel at...

I tested Equaliser APO and Peace GUI and I didn't manage to observe any audible sound quality degradation. First I played a record from my Raspberry pi + hifi DAC+ and at the same time I started the...

Hi, thanks for your replies and suggestions!

Hi everyone,

I've built a pair of electrostatic loudspeakers and I'm considering to build a sub woofer for low frequency extension. I'm still not sure what type of woofer I want to build, although...

Hi, good to hear that the microphone is very good :) Yes I applied the correction file.

Regards

Thanks for your kind words. Yes I wanted a "no compromise" loudspeaker just to see what is possible, especially for low frequency capabilities.

I think you are right about dipole / OB woofers,...

Just af few days ago I received the last 32 resistors for the second stat for electrical segmentation of the stators. Last two nights I compared my DIY panels to a set of Final 0.3 hybrid stats that...

Thanks for all your good advice! I will try the FFT analyzer and equalizer.

Hi thanks for your suggestions. How would you prefer to notch out the high Q resonance(s)? I've been thinking about getting a DSP but it is adding another digital device, sometimes with proprietary...
