Cheapo turntable for those in the cold grim north...

Nice looking Quad 33/303/FM3 on Gumtree: https://www.gumtree.com/p/stereo-sys...303/1281524918
Showroom condition. Won't last long, tempted myself.Quote:

Yes, I'm only interested in the power amp really. I'd probably sell the other two components on at some point.Quote:

I'm not keen on the 34 either. The 303 used with a passive, though, is a very beguiling sound IIRC.Quote:

In general Quad gear is very well built, and on the whole quite reliable. I'm a big Quad fan; excluding the speakers, I have 14 items of Quad electronics.
I agree Quad stuff is generally well made and good, but the 303 has woolly bass and the top is muffled.
The 33 has all sorts of rebuilds available.
That series is very old now, and IMO bettered by much other equipment.
I agree. For around the same money. The 306 offers similar power to the 303, but better grip and far superior detail and transparency.
Monster Japanese integrated amp. Pioneer A-717 Mk.II in Bristol. This is a beast!!

A good honest guy to deal with based on my experience
Agreed. Lovely Morch tonearm, me thinks
Couldn't see the Breuer arm - which model is it?Quote:

Bloody hell when did it start being a grand for a second hand tik-tok ?

Pioneer PLC-590. AT tonearm?
Don't see these very often at all. First I've seen on eBay for at least a year I think.
Lovely.

a nice contrast with the luxman,brushed stainless and rio rosewood
You should. It's a stunner and I'd suggest an upgrade too. Can flog the arm to recoup some money in the process.Quote:

I wouldn't pay any more. Just another seventies transmission line speaker. Grille missing from HF2000 tweeter.Quote:

i dont think thats expensive if you factor in the value of the arm,thats got to be worth £200 so £673 for a rare top of the line pioneer seems reasonable to me, and its got a huge vu meter!!!!!:eek:
Well, expensive compared to the last one sold but such is the rarity and the arm as you say being included, it's not that bad.Quote:
