That’s why it sounded bad then. The Mission (a Philips CD104 in disguise) was a fine player, a bit fluffy if anything!It would have been the Radio 2 input. and a Mission DAD7000.
Probably tired elcos.described the pre as 'grey' sounding.
How’s the 909 then?
Sorry ! It is of course delightful. I tried it last night with the QC24 and this morning, albeit briefly, with a Creek OBH-22 passive I also picked up yesterday. Fluidity and liquidity are words that come to mind, and it's so open with the Creek.Think lan must be enjoying the 909.
It sounded really sweet !The 909 isn't an optimal load for the QC24. Input impedance too low, they say.
Golden ears, I think not!Compared through some Ruarks, Jezmond Tutu’s ZAP250 to my serviced Quad 606.
The only major difference was the top end on the Avondale was a little edgier or shimmery. I quite liked the ZAP, Jezmond’s golden ears thought the Quad was better on the Ruarks. There was more warmth on the 606.
I had it off to Quad and they’d put the 909 PSU complete into it as well as the service.
Mods are possible I'm told, mines stock.
It was better after the service, but it had never been touched.
do we know anything about it yet?I would like to hear the new Platina series.

Apart from this old video there is no new news that I’ve come across. I guess we have fo be patient..More info here. Looks really nice except he touts the bespoke components including special electrolytic capacitors for the power supply so if something breaks down the road parts for even the PS may be a challenge.
