As it happened Arthur Radford chanced to be there and we had a most interesting discussion. Amongst other things he said that the circuit constants were such that with a manufacturer of good quality valves in the first place, no special selection was required. [1] The fount of all knowledge for Radford Hi-Fi is to be found at http://freespace.virgin.net/m.davis/index.htm Do get in touch with them. I once attended a double blind testing between Quad and Radford, using a variety of sources and either Quad electrostatic loudspeakers or Tannoy Corner Guy R Fountain Autographs, and it was a no-score draw - no-one could distinguish the difference between the amplifiers, although the loudspeakers were definitely different in quality (the opinion as to 'best' was divided.) I have both equivalent amplifiers here, and cannot without instruments tell the difference. I think you will find your SC2 is very well worth putting back in order, and it will give you very satisfactory service. Regards ajb [1] My own installation is still in excellent working order. The only fault it has ever developed was a dry joint on the surge limiting resistance (was it a thermistor? - I forget) on the rectifier valve base in the amplifier proper. P.S. Peter Walker, the founder and moving spirit of Quad, died last week. RIP. -- ajb If I had all the money I've spent on drink.... I'd spend it on drink. |
