Quad Audio QC:Twenty Four

The QC Twenty Four is a modest but powerful piece of sound empowerment. Quad Audio, shares the international market with names like Naim Audio, Musical Fidelity and cyrus audio. The amp from Quad flaunts full features and sports inputs at five line levels. The phono and other levels are internally empowered and very sophisticated. To facilitate biamping and/or subwoofing it has twin pairs of outputs and two tape loops that are buffered.

Preserves purity of signals:

Its rear accoutrements are complete with a ground connexion and an IEC power inlet. The push button power switch, seven input selectors where each of them are accompanies by an LED, which when selected turns golden amber, and a larger round volume control, are featured on its panel in the front. To control the right/left balance, there is a sliding switch directly beneath the volume control.

Through the deliberate centre dent, it is said to alter the balance offset by up to 6dB, and shows consistency in variables. To preserve purity of signals, it features relay input switching, and is claimed to use a functionally and radically fitted audio circuit that is simple, within the QC-Twenty Four. A single tiny 6111WA twin triode is its tube complement which is said to have a life of 60,000 hours. Quad Audio amps recommend a minimum load of 50KOhms, a hum and noise>80dB and specify a frequency response of 5Hz-50 Hz (+0 dB/0.5 dB).

Quad Modifications:

Modifications of the Quad Audio perform with a number of features that are state of the art and very sophisticated:

* Four film cap power supply bypass caps installation

* Three pairs of direct gold plated RCA input jacks

* Vampire CM-1F/CB copper body installation

* Four small EAR brand Sorbothane isolation sheet installation

* Four Black Gate coupling and bypass

* Power supply capacitors

By far these features make these amps the best in the industry.

There is a four Auricap signal-path metalized polypropylene coupling capacitor, two sheets of Sound-Coat chassis material cut and where applicable -four IR Hexfred ultrafast soft recovery diodes and a TRT Wonder Solder that is used for pure musical odyssey. The 99.99% output/input wire which is silver Teflon insulated, and Eight Riken Ohm ½ and one watt signal path 1 % carbon composite resistors leads that are gold plated make this baby a classic.

Numerous sonic improvements for the unit are claimed within the amp, allowing for blacker silences and including three dimensionality and better low level detail, more detailed and smoother with dynamics that are enhanced. The gizmo also flaunts a more liquid midrange over the stock machine for an even tonal balance, as well as a soundstage that is better defined. With more authority and weight, better impact and better bass extension, Quad is a winner. If you own a Quad Audio you can get it modified at a reasonable rate or if interested you buy a preamp which is already modified. A preamplifier which is modified carries a labour warranty and a 90 day replacement of parts.

About the Author

The quad audio 24 amp goes about 8 ¾ inches deeper which includes its rear connectors, measures at just short of one foot wide and stands tall at 3 ½ inches.

Benchmark DAC1 HDR Stereo Preamp Black $1895 The reference-quality Benchmark DAC1 HDR preamplifier brings together all the best features and performance of the award-winning DAC1 family with the convenience of intelligent remote control. The all-in-one stereo DAC1 HDR combines some of Benchmark's finest engineering accomplishments into a single preamp: the DAC1 digital-to-analog audio converter with UltraLock clock system, AdvancedUSB computer audio playback (USB DAC) interface, and the legendary HPA2 headphone amplifier. The DAC1 HDR preamp's unique remote control is built around Benchmark's new HDR-VC (High Dynamic Range Volume Control). Benchmark's pro audio product designs have achieved unprecedented sonic purity due to an uncompromising engineering philosophy: eliminate digital distortion artifacts, establish a pristine analog path, and maintain sonic integrity regardless of external factors. The DAC1 HDR continues this tradition of excellence. The DAC1 HDR preamp's remote control solution is an intelligent implementation of dimming and muting. The Dim (quiet) and Soft-Mute settings of the remote control can easily be adjusted independent of the normal volume setting. The DAC1 HDR remembers and recalls your specified 'Dim' setting. This feature is ideal for HDTV users, as it allows you to set your preferred 'Dim' level for commercials, etc. The 'Soft-Mute' function fades down the volume to the 'Dim' level before muting and smoothly raises the volume to the normal level after un-muting. With a generous offering of inputs and outputs, the DAC1 HDR serves as the heart of expansive media and entertainment systems, optimizing the signal path from the various sources to the amplifier. The DAC1 HDR will enhance the audio performance of your digital television, digital cable box, DVD/CD player, computer, music/media server, satellite radio, and any other device with a digital audio output. Also, the HDR-VC will control the pristine path for an analog source, such as a phono stage, FM tuner, iPod, VCR, tape deck, etc. All digital inputs on the DAC1 HDR (including the USB) feature Benchmark's jitter-immune UltraLock clock system. The USB interface operates with Benchmark's AdvancedUSB native 24-bit, 96-kHz USB technology. The DAC1 HDR features a high-current output stage designed to drive even the most difficult loads. Other features include selectable headphone gain ranges and an auto-mute function for muting the main outputs when headphones are being used. HDR-VC High Dynamic Range Volume Control The DAC1 HDR features Benchmark's HDR-VC (High Dynamic Range Volume Control). The HDR-VC is achieved with a custom-built motorized Alps potentiometer. The DAC1 HDR's motor-driven volume control maintains the dynamic range of the converter and audio output. In contrast, digital volume controls reduce dynamic range, and analog volume IC's introduce distortion and noise. The acclaimed DAC1 D-to-A conversion system Recording studios, mastering engineers and audiophiles have grown to rely on Benchmark for
