Hi

[Tea24]

I am a newcomer here. I am retired & live in France. My set up consists of Notts Analogue Interspace Junior/Spacearm/Dynavector 10x5, also Audio Technica AtPl-120 (used for playing 78s & 45s) with full set of Rek-0-Cut audiphile styli, Graham Slee Jazz Club, Quad 66 preamp & CD player, Quad 306 amp & KEF 104/2 speakers. I love it & have fun!

:rolleyes:Sorry I forgot to list my musical tastes; Classical, Jazz, 60's pop (what I used to dance to!)Old 78s of all descriptions; it is amazing how good they are when played through the right equipment & re-equalised.

Welcome...:)

Get yourself a 606mk2 as soon as you can - your KEF's will expand hugely........ The music will thank you for it :lol:

Hi Tea

(.......cucumber sandwiches on the lawn anyone?)

Welcome to the AoS!
I'm interested in your use of the EQ functions on the phono amp - do you find yourself making the most of them?
Perhaps you might find the time after a while here to describe the options and what they're best suited to, by starting a thread in the 'Strokes of Genius' section, which iswhere we put reviews of equipment.
Cheers

Hi Tea - TGW already made the joke I know... :)

Welcome to AoS - do we call you Tea or do you have another name?

Enjoy the forum.

My other name is Julian. I must look into the 606 Mk2, Thanks DSJR:lolsign:. the jazz club is used a lot for re-equalizing maninly 78s but also a few early mono LPs. The difference is amazing but almost as important is the stereo/mono switch on the back. Switching to mono cuts out a hell of a lot of noise on scratched discs:). In this regard the tilt & filter controls of the Quad are a great help too:cool:.

Welcome Julian. :)

I know some people paint most Quads with the same brush, but I found *at home and with absolute phase attended to as Quads invert the phase,* that the 34 and 306 either used separately and especially used together, sound a bit "limp wristed" for want of a better term. I do appreciate the KEFs you have are tonally as neutral as it gets and the impedance curve is benign IIRC, but the more than double the power of the 606/707/909 really will help. Just bare in mind that the 606 mk1 needs a couple of hours from cold to sound (and measure ;)) at its best.....
