Here is a link to a thread I made 8 years ago on AudioGon when I lost my sheet with the DIP settings. Someone was kind enough to post them.

I forgot that it also has an MC 47,000 ohm setting--which is nice. That is what is known as "wide open", and many phono pre amps don't have a 47,000 ohm setting for MC carts...just one for MM.
Your Hana is an MC...you may want to try it "wide open" and see how dynamic it can be.
I actually ran my Lyra Titan cart in the MC 47,000 ohm setting and it was great.
I now run it at 200 ohms through the McIntosh phono stage, as the Mc doesn't have a 47,000 option.

Just switched it now that's actually pretty easy, asking what the problem was earlier I'm not sure I unplugged it all and plugged back in and it's working fine now thru all lines. Ordered the gauge will be in Monday so if it's to heavy it won't hurt the needle just the vinyl I guess? I plan on playing all day lol until we go see GNR.

You won't hurt the vinyl, even if it's a bit heavy. That only holds true for back in the '80's when people would tape a penny or nickel to the headshell of the Sears and Roebuck record player...they would have 50x the weight pressing down on the groove!
You will be fine for the next few days.

Speaker placement--the closer to a wall or corner, the more the bass response.

Went back in the room was gonna listen just a little more bed and now the left side isn't working again and it was just a second ago. Everything is where it should be and tight
Posted on 8/5/17 at 12:13 am to davidlsu
It's even throwing it off in the headphones
Posted on 8/5/17 at 12:22 am to davidlsu
From which source?
This is odd.

All sources turntable and Bluetooth and head phines
Posted on 8/5/17 at 12:26 am to davidlsu
Now it's coming in again I don't get it.... I have everything tight... Something on my end or what you think?

Wiggle the cables...sometimes cables are bad.
Is it always the same channel?...always the left or always the right?

Always the left side

If you get bad sound through speakers and phones--that eliminates speaker cables and speakers.
If you get it from the table and Bluetooth, that eliminates a bad source.
That fact that it affects the speakers and the phones the same, tells me it's not the main amplifier output or the headphone amp.
That only leaves the pre-amp section of the Quad.

I've got some Sasha late night scenes playing now sounds alot better at the 47k
Posted on 8/5/17 at 12:40 am to Marco Esquandolas
So what are my options? Do I need to call them tomorrow it's fine now but I hate for this to keep happening What would you do
Posted on 8/5/17 at 12:41 am to Marco Esquandolas
You may need to call MD and get a Return Authorization from them. If possible, so you aren't down for long, see if there is a way you can buy another one tomorrow and have it shipped 2 day, and have them refund your account that same amount when they get your unit back.
ALWAYS KEEP ALL AUDIO BOXES INDEFINITELY--for every piece of gear--even the small accessories--you will need them at some point in ownership.

I know you were psyched to get up and running, but this stuff happens. It seems whenever I pull the trigger on something and want it immediately, shite always goes wrong.
It's electronics--I have had things that were bad from opening the box too. Don't let it get you down. MD is open on Saturday mornings, so call them tomorrow AM and tell them all the different things you have tried and that you have traced it back to the preamp section of the Quad...they should easily replace it.
It could be worse--I've got $35k in shot gear right now and am just beginning the wrangling phase of dealing with the crappy insurance company!

Ok cool I'll do that as soon as it opens. I don't even have it turned up a 1/4 and sounds nice I moved a tad closer and can tell the difference in the bass crazy how much that makes a difference
Posted on 8/5/17 at 12:53 am to Marco Esquandolas
Lol I can only imagine, yeah I'm gonna see if they will let me do that way I have something until then... If it's fine in the morning would you even deal with call or don't even take the chance?
Just crazy to me it's working perfect now

Also, remember that since online purchasing has become the norm for the last 10 years, there is a lot of delicate gear that is being handled by the likes of UPS and FedEx. 20 years ago, this wasn't the case.
The delicate gear was usually shipped via pallet on a freight truck directly to the local dealer, where it was unloaded carefully, as the store owner usually oversaw, and traveled 20 feet to the back of the store.
Upon the sale, you would carefully put it in the trunk of your car and take it home...usually with no damage.
With Internet sales, the gear all need to take a second, long distance trip, but this time not by trucking on a pallet, but by UPS or FedEx--and herein lies the problem...they beat the crap out of things.
So, your gear just might have taken a bump that dislodged a small connection. Small set back for now, but after a few months, you will forget about it.
Hopefully you can be back running by Wednesday or Thursday.
