Leider herrscht Platzmangel und ich muss meine Anlage verkleinern. Dieses Set habe ich vor einem halben Jahr hier gekauft. Der Vorbesitzer hat beide Geräte revidieren lassen und die Gehäuse sind neu lackiert worden.
Phono MM klingt hervorragend.
Die Schalter zeigen die altersüblichen Geräusche (beim Umschalten) dieser Baureihen.
Alle Kabel sind dabei und ein DIN auf RCA für Phono.
Versand ist kein Problem, Abholung und Vorführung ist auch möglich.
Von Privat natürlich auch keine Garantie, Sachmängelhaftung o.ä.
Unknown condition makes the price harder to judge, but €590 lands exactly at the median of seven recent comparable listings. That makes it a fair market price rather than a bargain; it becomes attractive if the set is tested, serviced, and complete, but less compelling if it is unrestored or has faults.
The 33/303 remains a genuinely appealing classic: compact, cool-running, musically smooth, and particularly convincing with efficient or 16-ohm speakers. Its flexible preamp and distinctive presentation are major reasons enthusiasts still seek the pair. At this price, ask for clear evidence of channel balance, quiet operation, working controls and input boards, plus sensible service history. Also check speaker compatibility, since the original 303 is less comfortable with difficult low-impedance loads.
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.
