    Default Fs: Quad fm4 hi-fi tuner.

    *** SOLD ***

    I’m selling my QUAD FM4 HI-FI Tuner, in very good condition and full working order.

    Late model with grey buttons, serviced in March 2011 by Quad.

    It has a few scratches and marks on top of the unit but is in very good used condition.

    It comes with the owner’s manual.

    I’m looking for £100 included next day delivery.

    If you have any questions please ask.

    Many thanks.
    Mauro

    Yes, it's what I use as well.

    Damned fine tuner at a beer-budget price. I don't expect this will hang around for long.

    Good luck with the sale.

    Didn't want to derail the sales thread so haven't commented before, but I do have an observation about the tuner as I have one myself.

    When I was doing some temporary linking of my system I found a distinct loss of bass from the tuner. It turned out I was going into a much lower impedance than before, this was the problem.

    The output capacitors are quite a small value, 0.22uF, this was the reason for the loss of bass into a lower input impedance.
    I changed them to 1uF and the problem was cured.

    I'd forgotten about this but yes I recall Rob Holt mentioning this as a must do mod on these a few years back on pfm. Good tip Alan
