I believe all the members of PF were once rumoured to own EAR amplification. On that basis would have to be the correct choice.

Don't know what they use as personal amps Paul but it's true that they certainly used some of Tim-dP's recording kit, Reel to Reels and mics etc for mastering purposes. The Exchange in London (reputedly one of the world's finest mastering studios) I know was equipped in one or two of their studios with back to back EAR kit for recording and mastering.Originally Posted by Audioman

Just off topic for a mo..If you look very carefully at the booklet inside Yes 'Fragile' LP you will notice Chris Squire has a Quad '33' aswell as a Revox 'A77'. Can't fault him..For me it's Quad 33 / 303 rumor has it they used them on tours and in the studio

That's interesting. The 405-2 is the questionable link. It's been PT "breathed on" a bit. It was a system that was good enough, but - oh dammit I want Owen to build me a "pip" power amp. He's coming round to the idea - only taken 30 years, but he's coming round+1 except I don't use a 405 has to be a Graaf otl for me

I remember listening to The wall on a pair of B&W 801's via a Quad44/405 and being in awe.

I remember when DSOTM came out, my friend played it me on his Rabco straight line arm TT, Shure V15/3 fed into a Crown IC 150 pre, into a Crown DC 300, which fed a pair of Bose 901's.
It shook the room and neighbours 20 doors down his road said they enjoyed it!

I can top that - it was a Dolby A master copy od DSOTM via specially tweaked Revox A77 (to allow more headroom on peaks as it clipped otherwise), same Crown amp(s) and IMF Pro Monitors of various generations.
That, and The Wall live at Earls Court back in 1980 or 81, can't remember the exact date..
Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me
Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me
