These are probably some of the nicest looking amps I've ever seen.

In the late 1970s I had the 33 preamp, FM3 tuner and the 405 power amp running a Thorens TD-126 and SME 3009 with Signet moving coil and step up transformer driving stacked double Quad ELS loudspeakers. It’s a sound I’ll never forget and yes, kick myself in the ass for ever getting rid of that system.

CORRECTION - The original Quad 33 pre-amp did not have "Tilt" tone control, it had conventional separate bass and treble controls, plus a variable high-cut filter.<br>The tilt control came in with the Quad 44 and Quad 34 preamps in the late 1970's.

Great review. I had the original 33/303 as part of my first “real” set up in the ‘70s with a Linn Sondek LP12 and they really made my IMF TLS80 transmission line speakers dance.

Great review once again, Steve. You do something that not all reviewers do which is context with other pieces and your long experience in Audio.
