I’m finding that a Quad 306 works very well with my Berkeley mk2, better than the more modern integrated that worked so well with the Harbeths that preceded them. This seems to mirror others’ experiences.
Why? I’ve heard that a relatively low damping factor might be involved, but it all seems a bit speculative, as information on this, and output impedance, seems to be unavailable.
I’m happy with the Quad overall, but I’d like to experiment with different pre amps, and with its high sensitivity and relatively low input impedance the Quad is a little limiting. Without knowing what the Quad’s doing right, however, I’ve no idea where to look for something that might do the same things without imposing the same restrictions. Any ideas?
