I purchased a QE pacifica some years back, and I love it. I've done quite a bit of work (read: troubleshooting) on it, but it keeps chuggin' along.

I also own a QE AM3b two channel compressor which is a very useful squish monster. Also, a pair of 712 graphics which are the best sounding graphic EQs I've ever heard.

In short, QE's rock. And more people are realizing it every day.

The Pacifica (circa 1978) is designed around the AM-10 op amp which most people seem to think is superior to the AM4 series amp found in the 2082 (circa 1972) series consoles. For a time, I owned much of the 2082 series console from the original MGM Grand hotel in Vegas. It was comprised of MM100 and MM62/71 strips as well as some 4x1 mixer modules. The MM series sounded very good to my ear. I have since parted out that console.

However, I liked QE gear so much I put up a website to help other QE fans connect. It can be found at Http://www.quadeight.net .

I'm looking forward to that article!

BTW Tape Op's Larry Crane is also a former QE owner.
