Quad Help!

Change of speakers - not biwirable - same result.

The 33 and 405 were used successfully by my brother in law - who had them before me.

Still, I'll disconnect everything and open it up.

Something may have just got knocked out of alignment in storage - ensuring all the boards are seated properly may cure the problem :)

A-ha! The cards are there - but were loose. Have now been pushed in.

And, maybe I've been a bit stupid. I assumed/thought that you had to push in the buttons to select a source - so, push in tape to get the tape source, push in disc to get the record. I just pushed the tape button out and got sound! :uhho: I'm going to rewire my proper speakers and connect the tt and see what happens.

Super, Peter!

The 'Tape' button overrides the other buttons. 'Disc, 'Radio 1' and 'Radio 2' are all exclusive. Make sure ' Tape' is out if you want to listen to any of the others. The 'tape record' loop through & output to a tape deck if connected is always working regardless of the 'Tape' button.

You can download a manual for the 33 at Vinyl Engine.

WELL DONE SYMON....:mex:

Sorry I could not help much, I don't know alot about Quads, except Quad 2 amplifiers. Glad its working for you now.


Regards D S D L----Neil :)

Ha - I have the manual for the 33. I'll be reading it a bit more closely now! duh

Well, I'm not totally there but at least I am getting some nice noises. I don't think I've fixed the speakers properly - getting some odd effects, so I need to go back to those and explore more. And the tt still isn't producing any noise. I need to check the tt on the denon amp tomorrow.

Thanks for all your help guys. Sorry for being a bit stupid!

:lol: It's all part of a great adventure, and the manual isn't the clearest tbh anyway!

Have a good one.

Well done, even the most expert 'experts' get floored by the tape loop every now & then.

Of course, you do realise the definition of an 'EXPERT' don't you?

An EX is a Has-Been............And a SPURT is an uncontrollable drip.

ENJOY YOUR QUADS

I'm hoping too. Just need to fix the speakers. I had tried using extra cable to link the HF and LF. Now I'm going to try using the cable that connects to the 33.

So, as I sign off for the night, here is where I've got to:
1. the 33 and 405 work and music is conveyed to the speakers, but
2. I haven't been able to get any vinyl sounds yet (could be the tt)
3. The sound from CD is weird - at the moment the vocals aren't coming through very well at all. On one CD it sounded like they were coming from the bottom of a well (and they shouldn't sound like that). And the overall volume is very quiet.
4. The speakers are bi wirable. I have used speaker cable as jumpers/bridges/links between the LF and HF posts. I have connected the speaker cable connected to the 405 to the LF posts. Could there be a fault here which is causing the odd effects?

Anyway, more testing and playing tomorrow at a slightly higher volume.
