    Hi Mike,

    I hope all is well with you and the 909 ! When using my 25R with a 909 GC advised this.....

    If you change the line stage valve in the 25R to a 12BH7a that will reduce the output impedance of the amp so that it will be able to drive the Quad properly.

    Adding....

    It's an impedance issue which will affect fidelity.


    I don't know whether this would apply to the 25, I'm not technically minded, but thought I'd flag this up.

    Cheers.

    909 continues to bring joy!! Thanks for that, I'll look into it.

    Looks quite “normal” to me, except for missing one volume knob!

    Spoke to Glenn once over the phone many years ago. He sounded a little 'monotone'. But a very clever man indeed.
