Yes, but that was by appointment, if I remember correctly from when I did it. I can not remember if there was a small premium for thisDidn’t Quad once do same day servicing. You’d drop it of in the morning and pick it up later in the day.
Thanks for the reply - much appreciated. Unfortunately not that much of an audiophile, I just use a Creek OBH 22 fed from a Cambridge Azur 640H music server currently feeding a Quad 405 and I’ve read for long time that the 606 mk 2 was one of the best, and as they say “ no money in shrouds”What you using for a pre..?
Good news. Works for me, as I said on another post on this forum it has the added advantage of a remote control and avoids needing to constantly get up to adjust volume when my other half decides a track is too loud.That should work well for the 606? I was looking at one in the classifieds here, considering it.
I'll be interested to read what you think about the serviced amps. I have a 34 and 306 which, whilst working fine, could probably do with a once over. I was under the impression that the Quad service department were a good bet if there was a specific fault but didn't routinely change components if they're within spec however old they are. Perhaps I'm wrong with that assumption
My 34/306 went to Amplabs in Worcester.
Back in just under two weeks.
I used Amplabs because they had done a superb job on a 303 for me.
Another fan of Amplabs here. Rob did a superb job of completely renovating my 303/33/FM3 combo. It can be a fair bit more expensive than a basic QUAD service, but you have the choice, and Rob is a great bloke to deal with. I wouldn't go anywhere else.No negatity here, but I've always gone to Amplabs over Quad. I just feel Rob is more of an old school expert.
