RE: Quad 909

I understand what you're saying. I have no idea whether or not the RCA input signal goes through any Quadlink-related board components that might audibly degrade the sonics.

I did a bit of online searching--as you apparently did as well--and found that there is little worthwhile info that adequately describes what sonic difference a bypass mod makes. I certainly did not help answer your query either!

I am happy enough with the 909, though, to enjoy it as is and leave it in stock form.

I'll mention, in closing, that I tried several different interconnect cables between my Quad 99 preamp and 909 power amp, and all provided a major improvement versus the Quadlink cable. My favorite cable in this usage is an inexpensive Bluejeans-made Belden 1694A solid-core cable. It provides a very smooth, grain-free sound. I also prefer to use the same cable between the 909 and my Audible Illusions tube preamp.
