194.0. "QUAD II pwr amp valves" by UFHIS::JMASLEN (The wheels fallen off your day yet?!) Tue Aug 14 1990 10:18

    Hi Quaddies!
    	Situation: Quad II valve power amps are starting to get scarce
    along with their valves.
    
    	Question: Do any of you have recommendations for replacements or
    equivalent valves and their cost and performance?
    
    	I would appreciate you writing the source of purchase with
    phone/fax #. Also any experience using these power amps with speakers
    other than the early Quad electrostats.
    
    	Thanks for the help and advice.
    
    	cheers fjeff

    Hi Jeff.
    
    Check the small ads in HFN/RR for sources of valves for the Quad II.
    There's usually 2 or 3 in each month, and they do mail order.
    
    Of course, Quad would be able to go over the whole box for you, valves
    included. They still support anything they ever made.
    
    As for other speakers, if they'll drive Quad ELSs they should drive
    almost anything! They may be incompatible in respects other than the
    basic electronic ones, though.
