LF to let you know that it arrived today and what can i say talk about well packeged wow took a long while to get it all out,well done.

being as it had the quad 5 pin lead i took it apart and put in a high quality phono lead straight on to the sme so in realaty it should give me a cleaner signal to amp.

Result, it did take me several hours to pack it up...

I was saying to Suz's that considering how much all the Quad stuff costs, and how well it is rated by everyone, I am surprised that they use such dodgy old DIN and Banana plugs to connect all the stuff together.

Considering Suz's dad paid the local audio shop to do everything and when it came to his audio, money was no object, so I can't even say it was him taking short cuts to save money.

I have found some letters to Quad, he had written, one asking about switching between speakers and headphones, they sent back a nice reply listing a few makes of switches, and he then bought the most expensive, which is basically a plastic box, with switch, headphone socket, and a terminal block, which I could have built for less than a tenner, but he paid £65 for.

Great choice for first play, I like that Album.

That's a shame about the stylus, I never even thought about then being obsolete.

You will have to post a picture once it is all set up.
