so now I am in possession of:

QUAD 33

QUAD 303

QUAD FM3

SYSTEMDEK IIX

LINN BASIK LV X / A&R P77



Annoyingly I seem to have lost one of the arcane power cables that would link the FM3 to the 33. I am guessing one will not be too hard to track down but I shan't be hanging on to it either way really. Other than that everything is present and correct.

I have plumbed in the 33/303 between my CDP/PMCs and it is rather lovely really. I haven't done a big compare to my Brio3, but I am pretty sure it sounds nicer. I certainly like the look of it for a change anyway. Condition is that the 33 has cleaned up okay but it is far from MINT. It all works though on initial testing and I have listened to Dave Brubeck TIME OUT about four times so far and should probably just go to bed....

I actually like it enough that I am thinking about selling all the QUAD on, and getting maybe some other QUAD stuff. Brief googling suggests a 44/405-2 might be fun.


Not sure about the SYSTEMDEK. I think it will also be moved on, though there is a small chip to the glass platter at the centre hole. Other than that it looks to be in fantastic condition. I think it would probably make more sense to sell the arm separately, though I am also wondering whether it is worth trying it out on my TD-150/2. A little googling suggests probably its not worth the effort.

Any thoughts on any of that, oh wise community?

My immediate thought was that you should be sensible, keep your new system and sell all that modern stuff. Musical enjoyment is what it is all about.

dont think it would be much better than the tip tbh. the 150 is a nice deck and the stock arm is decent when fettled...a 3009 mk2 would be a good improvement ...great arm
