The perfect entry into warm, purist hifi is available currently with this combination of a Quad 405 Power Amplifier and matching Quad 44 Preamp.

Recently serviced , recapped and cleaned, the unit also comes with a 3 month warranty. Price includes Delivery via DHL Couriers anywhere in Australia.

Below is some info on both the units:

Description

The Quad 44 has five inputs, Disc, Tape 1 and 2, Radio and Auxiliary, which will terminate correctly virtually every applicable programme source available now and in the foreseeable future.

All five inputs are interchangeable, so that any combination of inputs can be obtained, and options such as moving coil pickup, or microphone inputs can be included.

Quad 44 Preamplifier (Top)

The 44 has tone controls, consisting of Filter, Bass and Tilt which enable the listener to correct for those acoustic problems which are amenable to frequency response shaping.

Used intelligently these controls can improve the results obtained from almost any programme.

Construction and inherent reliability continue in the Quad tradition and reflect care in both design and workmanship.

It is extremely unlikely that the unit will become outdated, since any future developments in programme source or circuit technology can readily be accommodated simply by changing input modules.

Quad 405 Power Amplifier (Bottom)

The Quad 405 is a two channel power amplifier designed for domestic and professional use employing current dumping which eliminates many transistor problems.

The high power output makes it suitable for use with many of today's high quality loudspeakers and provides opportunity for farther loudspeaker engineering development with less emphasis on efficiency.

The external design continues the Quad tradition of practical simplicity which has won prizes and worldwide acclaim on previous models.

A combination of mouldings and extrusions is used to produce a unit which is strong and pleasing both to the eye and the touch.

Not all loudspeakers can safely accept the full output power of the Quad 405, and the amplifier is provided with a power limiter which is fitted internally for use in such cases.

The Quad electrostatic loudspeaker can be used safely with the power limiter in.
