After many years and several hundred original Quad II amplifiers passing through here then I think it is time for me to move onwards and acknowledge the joy of brand new machines.
Whilst I will never try to convince anyone which is the 'better' sound production then with certainty I can say these are so much easier when it comes to the rest of any modern system with decent mains, RCA connections as standard, pre-amp freedom of choice and amps running temperatures which do not enable breakfast to be fried on them...
