Quad 909

[Audio Al]

Hi People, My 909 should be home from quad tomorrow after a good coat of looking at ( Birthday ) :eyebrows:

It has had the caps replaced 4 transistors and a new RCA board fitted and run up for testing , tested all good :)

What do you run it with? Pre amp wise.

This unit is new to me purchased from a PF member as damaged , He managed to snap off a RCA connector
using over tight RCA plugs , I will try it with my Croft 25R and my Albarry 1108 both have volume controls

May be of interest, GC advised me to stick a 12bh7a in the line stage of the 25r to reduce impedence when driving the 909. Got one I can let you try if you want but won't be able to post till Monday as I'm away. Anyhoo, worth a mention ;-). Lovely amp the 909.

Thanks for the recomendation and offer of a try out however I looked on ebay and found a new valve for £13.50 so ordered that , What valve is the line stage one :scratch:

Pretty sure it's 3rd from the left but worth someone confirming.

Audio Al, I know it's an old thread, but did you ever manage to compare the M1108's to the 909?

Love to know which one came up tops!
