FS: Quad 303

[southall-1998]

Selling my Quad 303 Power amp. Purchased by myself back in May from ebay.

The service work was done by the previous owner. I will include the other bits with the 303.

I've copied & pasted both pics and the previous owners description below.

I'm willing to post, if the buyer is in no rush.

£170 (Collected)

£183 (Posted)

PM if want to purchase.

My recently serviced QUAD 303 is for auction. I have a new project to fund.

It was sympathetically serviced, in late January, to retain that classic Quad 303 sound.
It is in good condition for its age, with just a few light scratches and chipped paint on the fins, as is normal. Please see the pictures.

You can also see it has new electrolytic capacitors, input capacitors and new multi-turn pots, in place of the original types which are poor quality and less reliable. Out of specification resistors were replaced too. The regulator board has had up-rated diodes and resistors fitted for reliability and stability. You will also see the new main reservoir and output capacitors have been installed inside the original capacitor cans to retain their original appearance.
A mains lead and an RCA to DIN lead are included.

A lesson in a sales thread Shane... BRAVO. a nice bit of equipment at a good price as well. :youtheman:

I've said time and time again that I reckon used Quad gear in the right condition, sympathetically serviced and priced right represents amongst the best Hi Fi bang per buck there is. Lovely.

Spot on!

When properly serviced the Quad 303 is exceptional valve and will suit many systems.

I have used one with both solid state and valve preamps, I would say with a decent valve preamp. you will be amazed at what can be achieved!!

Good luck with the sale Shane and as was said earlier, a very nicely presented advert.

Thanks gentlemen. I'm half tempted to keep the amp. I'll give it another few days!

Hi Shane,
Can I just ask, do you know who did the service?
I only ask as there may be people who already have a 303 and fancy biamping, so would need to get the same spec for a second amp.
Yours really does look lovely, I think if I'd not recently had a big splurge on turntable bits, I'd have had this!
