May have potentially just bought a modified Quad 405 mark 2, that has upgraded caps, burr brown op amps and modern phono/binding posts for a very sensible amount of money as far as quad kit goes. I'm more curious than anything and I'm quite happy I'll sell it on for what I paid if its not for me.
My question is regarding a pre amp. I have a Creek 4330 which is passive in its pre amps section, basically a 40w mosfet amp with an attenuator inside it between the inputs. would the 405 respond well to a passive pre amp, as far as Im aware, I sould be able to leave the creek powered off and it should still function as a pre to the quad through the pre amp outputs. Also, any other things I should know regarding owning and running an current dumping amp like this?
