Only 4!
still have a couple upstairs.. old stuff one a 110v jap job... never used.
I haven't counted mine :).
Let me think:
1 pair of Mark Levinson ML-2 Class A monoblocks
1 pair of Quad 510 monobocks
1 pair of Quad 405s, which have been 'monoblocked' and upgraded to Keith Snook level 5, and with improved power supply components
2 Quad 405-2 stereo amps
1 Quad 405-1 stereo amp, upgraded to -2
1 Quad 520f stereo amp
1 Cambridge P50 integrated stereo amp
1 Crown/Amcron D60 stereo power amp
(and an Amptastic Mini-T class D amp)
Lots of Quad gear, I owned a fair bit myself including the 405 then 405-2 finally ending up with a 606. Were the 510 mono blocks more for professional studio use?
Yes - they are an interesting design in having a balanced line transformer input and a transformer output, so by selecting the appropriate tapping, one can match the maximum ouput voltage to the speaker impedance. Furthermore, since the input and outputs are isolated, by using various series/parallel combination on the outputs, up to 8 units can be 'stacked' to source a maximimum of 1000W.
As other Members here will concur, I am a bit of a Quad 'fan': having 6 of their tuners as well as a couple of their preamps.
