Quad 405 -- upgrade options??
I just unpacked an old quad 405 that I haven't used for a couple years.
I really like the sound. I'm using with a pair of Paradigm mini monitors and an old Paragon system E tube preamp.
Although the amp is working fine, I've read many companies online offering "renew/refurb" kits and services that will vastly improve the amp. There is quad405.com and quadmod.com and an english company called net that offer upgrade kits- also on ebay...
This is appealing but I'm worried to buy some "home brew" mod that may change the character. Can anyone suggest a worthwhile mod or have any experience with this.
maybe i should leave it stock...I'm willing to put a little $ into it if new components will really improve the sound.Any advice.
thanks , nico
