radiobombstereo monitoring power amp
Published on 02/02/15 at 11:34Excellent stereo power amp from Quad [uk hifi big players], which pioneered power amp design for hifi . This unit has no controls. no volume, no eqs, no input selector, ... just what you need - stereo in [on a mini 5-pin din], and speaker bare-wire terminal pair out, plus a proprietory power lead.
Fast and punchy, this heavy brick of a power amp is a hifi/monitoring legend from the '80s and '90's, and delivers a quality of dynamic to rival any amp circuit of equivalent power. Drives all speaker impedences impecably.
Built to last [only capacitors need swaping out after 20-30 yrs, which is cheap to do]
Superb value for money on ebay. Recommended10
ShibayaPublished on 01/19/07 at 06:452x45W RMS amp. Vintage - 1965/1977.
Solid-state follow-up to the renown Quad 2 tube amp.
I have it connected to my Dynaudios or Kefs, it feeds my near-field monitors.
Exceptional dynamic response for a solid-state amp. The oversized power supply occupies 4/5 of the housing. The specific Quad 33/303 connectors require an adapter.
I use it alone or together with a Quad 33 preamp.
It must be perfect bi-amplified with two Quad 2s.00
sybeePublished on 08/19/08 at 18:10I have a nad c-352 with wharfedale 9.5 speakers, a rotel cd player, everything linked with good cables, and I also have an old quad 33-303 in almost-new condition. While the nad sounds wonderfully for a built-in amp, when I add the quad to the system, the improvement is spectacular. The vocals with the quads have a much more realistic consistency, all mids are more clearly audible, the lows are deeper and more solid, instruments are more transparent. It's truly impressive to see an old unit with such qualities,
even if the quads seem more powerful than the nad (2x45w vs 2x80w for the nad). You can feel the air moving in the room with the low end of the quad, something the nad can't achieve…Read moreI have a nad c-352 with wharfedale 9.5 speakers, a rotel cd player, everything linked with good cables, and I also have an old quad 33-303 in almost-new condition.
