The good thing regarding Quad gear of this era is that it is made superbly well, and the company still supports the items very well.
The power amps are good, solid, workman-like resources. The actual 303 is a little underpowered nowadays, but excellent for such things as NS10s or even Auratones. Simple and easy , inexpensive in order to support too.
The actual 520 is actually, as has been said, the stand installed 405. Lots of different versions along with balanced as well as out of balance inputs (such as out of balance via XLRs just to be really complicated!). Nice amplifier. Not really Bryston quality, but a lot better than a Sampson....
The actual preamps tend to be less beneficial in their own indigenous form, but could end up being done to make them excellent. The actual 33 is pretty loud by contemporary requirements, but there are numerous Do-it-yourself updates around on the web and from third-party firms that enhance things radically.
The 44 and 34 are more attractive, although more difficult to operate on. Electronic switching is a plus, and the tip EQ manage is amazing. Would this had been accessible as a stand alone unit since it is the perfect tool with regard to rebalancing the tonality of commercial materials with regard to household hearing.
