Vor ein paar Wochen hier bei Kleinanzeigen mit einer 303 gekauft und brauche "eigentlich" auch nur diese.
Damit ist diese Vorstufe "über" ... und hätte gerne etwas mehr Platz im Rack.
Die Vorstufe hat vom Vorbesitzer eine Revision spendiert bekommen und das Gehäuse wurde professionell neu lackiert!
Zwar laufen die Taster / Schalter nicht ganz geräuschlos beim Umschalten, normal halt für diese Reihe in diesem Alter. Dafür laufen alle Potis top...
Die Bilder habe ich gerade im laufenden Betrieb gemacht. Zum Verkauf steht NUR die Vorstufe :-)
Die 33 habe ich doppelt, besitze aber nur einen Satz Kabel, Adapter.
D.h. die Vorstufe kommt ohne Kabel. Für Quad Einsteiger ist die eh nix :-)
Mehr was für Fans und Sammler der Marke, und die werden soetwss wohl haben....
Natürlich von Privat und deshalb keine Garantie, Rücknahme
Versichter Versand ist im Preis enthalten.
Excellent condition at €190 makes this a strong deal against your recent Euro comps: it sits well below the €393 median and even under the €188 25th percentile, so it’s priced at the very bottom of the current market. For a classic preamp like this, that’s the kind of number that usually leaves room for service and still keeps the buy sensible.
The appeal here is straightforward: the model has a long-standing reputation for musical, understated presentation and is still sought after by people building vintage systems around Quad gear. In excellent shape, it’s the sort of listing that’s worth moving on if you want a clean, well-loved example; the main upside is getting into a respected classic without paying collector money.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Quad, the venerable British hi-fi brand, traces its origins to 1936 in London, when engineer Peter J. Walker founded S.P. Fidelity Sound Systems, soon renamed the Acoustical Manufacturing Company. Relocating to Huntingdon in 1941 after wartime bombing, the firm shifted from public address gear to domestic audio amid post-war demand for superior sound reproduction. Walker's pioneering ethos—prioritizing "the closest approach to the original sound"—defined Quad from its early QA12 amplifiers, adopted by the BBC, to the iconic Quad I of 1953.
The brand excels in amplifiers and electrostatic loudspeakers, revolutionizing both categories. The Quad II power amplifier of 1953 introduced cathode coupling for vanishingly low distortion, while the 1956 ESL 57 delivered the world's first full-range electrostatic speaker, employing a massless film diaphragm for unparalleled transparency and transient speed. Quad advanced into solid-state with the 1967 303 and transistor designs featuring innovative "Triples" output stages, later expanding to integrated amps like the 99 series, moving-coil speakers, and modern electrostatic models such as the ESL 988 and 989.
Today, under the International Audio Group since 1997, Quad holds a prestigious position in the high-end market, revered by audiophiles for its unyielding pursuit of accuracy over trends. Its heritage components command vintage collector status, yet contemporary offerings maintain a niche boutique appeal among discerning buyers seeking refined, distortion-free reproduction that honors Walker's legacy.
