    There's a Quad 33/303 on my Doorstop

    Hey Mafioso, I'm currently running an iPod / laptop into the radio input on the 33. I got hold of an old DIN to RCA adapter, and bought a 5m 3'5mm to RCA lead. It was the easiest solution for me, as those DIN plugs are a bit beyond my level of expertise. Obviously the iPod doesn't do the...

    Total Meltdown

    Hey Geko, Thanks for the tip. The preamp/amp have been working well for a week or so, so I think that the amp is the more likely culprit. I should probably add (I only did this once, probably won't do it again) that if I let the amp cool down, and then start it all up again, I get two good...

    Who to trust

    Hello. I'm new to the forums and could really do with some good advice. I've just gotten into the game. I picked up a old Dual 1019 and a beautiful little Quad 33/303. I'm borrowing some speakers for now, as I can't afford to buy new ones. My question is about the balance of the sound. I...
