It would be nice but, I can't see it happening. Still, could be worth asking...

Really; My. God. Hi Vladimir, davedotco and all that recommended going for the Quads. Spent the weekend wiring up the Quad 606 and 44 and the switching gear, then listening, and listening, and listening. I had expected an improvement but, blimey Charlie. This will all sound pretty...

Yeah, that's a good point, Vladimir; not thought of it like that. I might still have a look at them, but may have to consult the bank balance before doing anything. I'll come back here once I've wired in the Quads. Cheers.

Hi Vladimir; Saw a few pictures of these while looking around at Quad stuff and they do look amazing. I was speaking to another friend about buying a 'new' amp and he said he thought he had a pair of Wharfedale Ditton 44's at his shop (he's a sound engineer/instrument dealer), with 1 damaged...

Hi davedotco; Thanks for confirming this. Although adding another Quad amp to run the second set of speakers sounds nice, I think I'm at risk of getting carried away here. Still hoping to run both sets off the 606, and looking likeI'll go for the QED SS22 2-way switch (and just wait and save up...

Hi davedotco; Just thinking over your suggestion for a separate integrated amp for 2nd set of speakers - as I said, I liked the idea, but guess that means the signal will just pass through the 44 direct to the 'other' amp, without going through the 606. Does this mean that the 2nd speaker set...

Hi again, Vladimir; Thanks for this suggestion, too. As I said to davedotco's idea, I wouldn't have thought of this. The headphone adaptor project looks interesting (I checked out the link) - though it's a while since I've done even basic electronics, I do know someone who could build it. The...

Hi, davedotco; Thanks for that, sounds like a great idea - wouldn't have thought of it. It would certainly mean less interfaces/separate 'boxes', and as you say, not too expensive while guaranteeing a good headphone signal. A much 'tidier' option. I'll let you know how it goes. Cheers.

Hi CnoEvil; Thanks - saw my friend today and that's exactly what he offered, so I'll give that a go. Anyone else with opinions and/or different amp options is also welcome. Any tips on headphone amps to pair with the Quad 606/44 would be great, too. Cheers, guys.

Hi Vladimir; Thanks for replying. So you'd recommend going for the Quad even with the need for additional kit? And, just to be clear, there shouldn't be a noticeable reduction of sound quality with the extra kit? Cheers.

Hi; Newbie with a first post here, and I'm after a bit of advice, please. I've been running a Wharfedale Linton Receiver/Sherwood PM8550 turntable/Eltax Silverstone 200 speakers system (with various CD players) for over 10 years, but my lovely old Wharfedale has given up on 1 channel and smells...
