Well I have some quad gear, epc 451 and Panasonic 405, Before I venture heavily into purchasing a lot of quadradiscs I thought I'd see how worth it it is? I mean it seems more and more of these discs are coming out on various digital formats... Though I am revamping my turntable and thought why not get quad working too?
So in my research it appears that not all quad mixes are good, really only a few hundred are worth having. And, if I find the ones I want they may not have the carrier signals intact, is that right? It seems that is what most say on the forums but then I read that Lou Dorren 'fixed' the issue by coming up with a special cleaning solution, once the supposedly destroyed discs were cleaned properly then they worked fine, right?.
If my assumptions are correct? Where do I find reviews of the well mixed quad albums? And since Lou is gone how to best clean those cd-4s?
I think I can solve everything else like re-capping the 405 and getting the tonearm low capacitance, adjusted and aligned, etc....
Thanks,
Q
