Quad 33 Pre-Amplifier

The Quad 33 pre-amplifier combines classic design with modern functionality. Developed by a team with nearly 200 years of combined experience, it features fully balanced XLR inputs/outputs, a phono stage compatible with both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil cartridges, and ultra-low noise circuitry for exceptional clarity. Controls are intuitive, with a motorised analogue master volume, rotary encoders, and QUAD’s unique Tilt control for subtle tonal fine-tuning. The 33 preserves signal purity while delivering the rich, detailed, and musical sound that has made it a hi-fi icon.

Quad 303 Power Amplifier

The Quad 303 power amplifier is celebrated for its legendary output stage and ultra-low distortion. The modern 303 uses a fully complementary output stage, premium transistors, and a low-noise toroidal transformer for stability and reliability. Compact and cool-running, it delivers dynamic power with rich detail, effortlessly driving domestic speakers while maintaining the musical finesse that has made it a classic for over 50 years.

Wharfedale EVO 5.3 Speakers

The Wharfedale EVO 5.3 speakers bring clarity, depth, and musical nuance to any listening experience. The advanced AMT tweeter ensures low distortion and fast transient response, while internal damping materials and Resoseal™ optimisations create natural vocals and smooth treble. Cabinet design improvements and Wharfedale’s three-directional Slot Loaded Profiled Port system deliver tight, controlled bass, completing a system that sounds far beyond its price point.
