Not so much not widely appreciated, but rather I'd imagine that most folks haven't heard really good ones to comment :)
Not exactly the easiest things to get a demo of ;)
Marco.
no drivers either .. Ive a set of horns in plastic... they are crap built tbh but sound good enough. these in ali cast will with drivers in be the business
what 'is' a bargain?
Not, not a bargain at the buy it now price: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Quad-303-/191817557083
some folk are hopeful
:doh:
303 will never sell for that kind of money!

Perhaps they command a higher price on the continent.Quote:

See the seller's user name.
Also a bit optimistic: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/One-Pair-Q...-/291693696480
I could be wrong, another pair for quite a bit: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Quad-II-Am...-/182043211111
Stupid, stupid, stupid and STUPID PRICES!!
These common Quad II amps are not even rare!
S.
My Quad II's are in far better condition than those two pairs. What I had not realized is that the GEC Marconi KT66's are worth a fair bit by themselves.

My preference, amps all standard, best first:
Quad II (provided suitable speakers used)
Quad 303
Quad 405-2
Quad 405
I still have all these amps

Almost any speakers that don't require a terrific grip of the bass, some, not many bass reflex systems tend to be slightly boomy. My Tannoys are fine, although reflex. LS3/6 has tighter bass on 405-2, but rest of the freq range I prefer 303.Quote:

I have four 303's, can't think why!
me too , sound very good with a valve pre ampQuote:

Just spotted another difference, 520 can be used as a pre for any other power amp, doesn't look like one can do that with the 520B.
It seems that NOS 401 is not rare anymore:D

quite nice this duo, alas pick up in Dumfries
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3220266665...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
When they came out I liked the look of those, couldn't afford them though.
Looking it up, came out in 1975, but in 1976 I found the money for a brand new Quad 405.
Yup, they are quite versitile Alex. Lovely nick too by the pics anyways, but too far to travel I think.Quote:

Nice big amp, stepped attenuator volume control it says on the net. Not sure if I remember this model, Oh dear!
Sony amp: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SONY-TA-26...E/152006228192
I remember when these came out, saw this too at an exhibition.

Won this on a maiden bid..spoke with guy and he said he would pack it for me to send courier :eyebrows:
May need some caps replaced i guess so may try and get ali tait to give it once over.
Never tried that model Grant. It'll be interesting to know what you make of it (just taking a break from painting the landing ceiling :)).
The Leak is more than a ittle reminiscent of the very rare seventies Lustraphone LP100 integrated amp.

Some similarities

The do look good but you know what they say about the Rank era Leak.
I had a Leak receiver once, 2000 series. Went down on one channel. I sent it into the repair shop to be fixed and the repair shop burned down...
Cheery bastard aint you;)
Its paid forcand courier arranged and should be with me on Saturday barring the van crashing and bursting into flames:D
