    Having kept an eye on second hand Quad amplifier values (amongst others) for quite a while, it's clear that there is a steady upward trend in asking prices. I anticipate this continuing, so if anybody is contemplating a Quad purchase, I'd suggest this is a good time, otherwise I think you'll be paying a fair bit more soon.

    Price of 303's seems to have about doubled in a few years.

    Mate has a 33/303 and tuner combo. He wanted to sell it a few years ago and value had dropped dramatically. So what they up to now?

    The subject of "burn in" is a bit of a debatable one so i understand the viewpoint.I

    I have heard it happen and have repeated it with the same components. It's also been reported with the same component in other threads by impartial users, without prompting.

    I'm a believer, you're not. No harm done.

    I'd say £350 to £450 for the set depending on condition, but some ask more.

    A well set up 303 can sound very good, yes the output impedance can be a bit high, leading to uncontrolled bass with some speakers, but with the right speakers this is not much of a problem. The midrange of the 303 is excellent.
