QUAD valve amp advice

[Noisy noise annoys]

Evening!
I have just dug out my old Quad II and Quad 22 amp and pre amp and cannot remember what is going on.
I intend to get them serviced they have been sat, dormant, for 15 years or so, but what then? Can I run my standard old record deck off them without some sort of DAC (I think this is a stupid question) what about speakers? None of my speakers are really suitable. What about other, more modern inputs, like a streaming unit?

Basically, HELP!

Thanks

Some fella told me about some search engine called google quite a few years back. Not sure if it ever took off like but if you struggle here mate you could give that a go. Long-shot I know.

Has the pre- amp got a phono input, for the turntable ?, why are the speakers unsuitable ? , you can use a streamer through the line level inputs. If you’re in the north-west get Mike Powell to give them a once over http://www.mpavservice.co.uk/

Wish I had thought about that before I came on here looking for football info, current affairs, world football, other clubs transfers, nob 'eds trying look cool etc etc

That is more like it, someone who understands how forums work.

From memory, yes,a phono input, so no need for any sort of DAC. As for the speakers, I have moved over to smaller speakers with subs, cant help but feel the Quad would be better suited to larger floor standers etc.

Thanks

Put them in a bowl of rice above a radiator overnight…. Then switch them off and back on again

Any time I post a "serious" thread, Tubey and Kurt are there, within minutes t suggest sawdust and rice, as if they actually wait for someone to post,some times for days, without sleep

I was going to ask for advice on Occupational Health the other day, as work referred me to them, but I knew not to !
I’m sure you will get some good advice, once the sawdust settles.

There's a vacancy in the Lisbon when they're up and going.

Is your QUAD II a quad eleven or a quad mark 2?
