Now I need to reconnect the additional RCA outputs.  So, the solder cup of RCA output 1 has both a wire and 100 ohm resistor to the solder cup of output 2?

Thanks, it was a great kick when it came to life.  Now onto the PJCCS board, bigger and better things.  Once up and running, I'd like to upgrade the Quickie and maximize the performance.  Sounded really good on a short listen.

I just have to say that the Q is one of the cleanest sounding units that I have ever owned. Upgrading is a worthwhile cause, that's for sure.

I too have the pcjj,I stuffed the oard but have not had a desire to install it yet. Maybe this weekend. I really like the sound as is and less is better in the circuit in my opinion so thats why the pcjj is sitting in a box. ;D

Are there some modification tips on the forum?  You used Clarity caps?

You may want to read through this thread for modification ideas (incl. Clarity Caps):

The Q is just awesome. I have now retired my highend commercial pre amp and monoblocks...

Install the PJCC - the improvment is not subtle.
