For sale is my Quad Electroacoustics Ltd 33/303 Pre/Power amp combo.

Manufactured by Quad in Huntingdon in the Seventies this is a lovely quality pre and power amp combination. Noted for its natural sound this classic amplifier has been in my care for approaching 18 years. In that time I had it serviced by a trained Quad engineer. It sounds superb with my Electrostatics (also for sale see other thread) or with a set of decent modern speakers such as Kef, Tannoy or Mordaunt short. Rated at 45W this doesn't sound a lot compared to modern amps but as Quad only ever quoted the distortion free figure as opposed to peak that modern amps do you will find it has the guts to drive all but the most inefficient speakers to volume levels far higher than it should.

Cosmetically its in good condition, audiably its lovely.

Please note it takes its inputs from 5 pin DIN plugs but I will supply 2x 5 pin din to phono cables. Output to speakers is by 4mm banana sockets.

£120 for both

example pictures here, I'll post some of the actual amps tonight
