Having read with interest the last couple of threads on the merits (or otherwise) of the old Quad 303’s I was inspired to dig out my old one. What I don’t have however is a suitable pre, as I used to use it with a CDP with a good level, volume controlled output. So […]

I am inviting anyone who has owned the original Quad ESLs, or the ESL 63s, or heard them with known specific amplifiers, to state which speakers, and post your experiences with all or any amplifiers you’ve tried. :yes: I’ll start out. All my experiences are with the original model ESL. I first heard a pair […]
Wonder if the brains trust has any advice for me. Just taken delivery of a lovely Quad 303, restored by Rob at AmpLabs (who’s been a perfect gent throughout) to match the original design but with old components swapped for new. I’m almost completely delighted with the results warmth, intimacy, believability, it really draws […]
So, I gave in to audiophilia nervosa and believed the fantastic reports from Dada on how much better the 909 would be without the ampbus card. So I removed it and ended up with a 2 x 140 W buzzing amp. The buzz is regardless of level and input. It was much more quieter without […]

I would appreciate advice regarding matching an amp or amps to match with quad 63s. They work very well with the mini t, just wondering if theyre is a good match for them either from the quad stable or further afield. Second hand bargains would be nice. MORE
Can anyone tell me how a pair of stacked quads with ribbon horn tweeters would compare with the wilson watt puppies and the yamaha ns1000? The quads are the best speakers I have ever owned. My past speakers include harbeth 30, audio physic avanti, avantgarde duo horns, reynaud offrandes. I understand the Yamaha and the […]

Dear Colin, I’ve ordered a pair of 4-Pin DIN plugs to construct an interconnect for a Quad 33/303 system. Do both the channels need to be individually shielded, or is crosstalk not an issue here, and one could use something like this with just an overall shield? http://www.van-damme.com/14.html Failing that, can you recommend a really […]
