Default Quad 405: dud electros ?

Seriously now, since Philthy has already insulted everyone
here (and elsewhere for that matter) that are likely to be

I would offer to help if I had ever seen the inside of a 405.
I enjoy Phil's antipodean charm, even when pointed in my direction.
I guess Trevor Wilson would advise that the LM301 is nothing but
a distortion generator and should be replaced by a 5532, and to increase
the psu caps to 0.5F. Jute would recommend reducing the capacitance to stop
the sound becoming sluggish. I don't believe that anything wonderful happens
when Z1Z3=Z2Z4 because at audio frequencies you are multiplying zero by
infinity to get any number you want.

Plenty of advice, circuit diagrams and capacitor kits at http://www.quad405.com

** Dear friend - a treat awaits you.

** Must be some kind of weird pommy masochist.

** The justifiably famous Quad 405 needs no snake-oil mods whatever.

Early examples simply need their small electros replacing - as it seems
Quad were royally dudded by the Dumbkoph Krauts at Roederstein who supplied
allegedly "sealed, long life caps" that were anything but !!

** Completely off with the fairies stuff.

** All of it snake oil inspired ********.

What you refer to as "antipodean charm" others who have had
this "charm" inflicted on them over the years (like me)
would call his usual antics on Usenet abuse, net stalking
and slander. Just to name a few ;-)

Cheers TT
