    Me too. Compact, solid, purposeful, no bling. True of the 303 too.

    Only one thing to bear in mind with the 306, the input sensitivity is high, so not every pre-amp will be happy with it. But that can be changed by swapping two very easy to reach resistors for about a quid!

    Yes, the 306 is almost competition for my seventeen quid TPA3116 Chinese Class D mini amp!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    There's no comparison soundwise though. The 303 does little wrong, but it's a pipe & slippers softie.

    Just making a passive pre-amp to go with the Quad 306. It will have two switchable inputs and one output. I'm using a 250k log pot, as the Quad has a high input sensitivity, hopefully the volume advance with this will be OK. I've finished cutting out the holes in front & rear panels, now to wire up and assemble.

    I should finished it later. If the pot value suits what I'm doing, I may order a similar value stepped attenuator.

    Bugger, can't find any suitable wire (so far). I'll just use whatever I can find in my workshop for now just to get it working.
