They can only go up, especially when treated to a bonafide genuine service by the manufacturer![]()
What is it with the Quads? I'm not knocking anybody's choices, but having heard probably hundreds of the things and used them, I've not been exactly spellbound. I prefer the 405 to the 303 myself, but would rather have a 306 than either.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
The styling, the build quality, the history, the reputation for longevity and reliability, the famous servicing department.
I suppose...
I know some people bang on about the sound quality but they have never struck me as being any different in that department to a few dozen other decent amplifiers.

I don't listen to them ! Good gracious me no... I just collect them
Actually, I did listen to a 34/303 pairing for a bit but moved on as I always do.
A rolling stone gathers no moss...
