General: The Quad 33 and 303 are the preamplifier and power amplifier in the legendary 3-series of Quad, which has recently been continued. In this 3-series you will also find the 3 integrated amplifier and the 3CDT CD transport. The Quad 3-series consists of newly released equipment whose design and musicality are based on the vintage Quad 3-series from the late 1960s. Almost every audiophile, and especially those who have been in audio for a while, knows the legendary Quad 33 and 303 amplifier set, now in a new form.

Technology: The looks may be retro, with the orange old school display and matte gray front and a combination of gray and orange knobs on the Quad 33 and the vertically oriented housing with cooling fins on the front of the Quad 303, but fortunately the technology inside the amplifiers has been modernized. Of course, you can operate this modern Quad 33 with a remote control. The Quad 33 and Quad 303 also feature both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connections. Additionally, the Quad 33 preamplifier includes a high-quality phono input that can be easily switched between MM and MC. Finally, there is also an excellent current-feedback headphone amplifier in the Quad 33 with a 6.3mm jack connection on the front of the unit. Very versatile for such a compact and convenient device. The Quad 303 is a compact amplifier that can be used both as a stereo amplifier and as a mono power amplifier in bridged mode. On paper, it delivers 2 x 50 watts at 8 ohms and 2 x 70 watts at 4 ohms in stereo mode; in bridged mode, the Quad 303 delivers 140 watts at 8 ohms and 170 watts at 4 ohms. In many situations, a single Quad 303 in stereo mode is already sufficient, but for those with more demanding speakers, or those who like to turn up the volume knob a bit more, it is possible to add a second Quad 303 and use them as mono amplifiers. Aesthetically, it is also a nice setup to have a Quad 33 preamplifier positioned between two 303 power amplifiers. Both the Quad 33 and the Quad 303 feature a powerful and stable linear power supply, which ensures optimal control and authority in the sound.

Tilt Control : Like many classic vintage amplifiers, this Quad 33 also features excellent tone control in the form of Quad's refined 'Tilt Control'. What Tilt Control does is simultaneously lower the level of bass tones while raising the level of midtones and treble, or vice versa. The midpoint for Tilt Control is 700 Hz. According to Quad, Tilt Control provides an effective way to fine-tune the sound to personal preference without the final tone having an artificial coloration. In addition to the Tilt Control knob, you also have the option to boost or cut only the bass with a separate control knob.

Sound : This Quad 33 + 303 set is clearly more modern and uses better and purer components compared to the vintage Quad 33 + 303 that came to market almost 60 years ago. This results in easier playback, more transparency, dynamics and drive. But what is important is that the organic and welcoming sound of the vintage 3-series has been preserved. Voices sound pure and full and immediately grab your attention. Instruments sound rhythmic and pleasant, and the sense of space from live recordings is effectively conveyed to your listening room. Because this Quad 33 + 303 also has more modern sonic characteristics, you can confidently play electronic music, hip-hop, dance or pop on it. If you purchase a second Quad 303 and use them as mono power amplifiers in bridged mode, you not only get more power, but the soundstage also expands as a result, and a pair of Quad 303s plays more easily, powerfully and even more detailed than a single Quad 303 in stereo mode. This newly released Quad 33 + 303 amplifier set has it all: stunning retro looks, high-quality and durable finish, and hugely musical and engaging sound with fantastic value for money. A worthy successor to an amplifier set that already set new standards in technology and musicality at the end of the 1960s.

The Quad 33 + 303 amplifier set is now available for viewing and listening at Ohm-Audio B.V. Both with a single 303 in Stereo mode and two 303s in Bridged Mono mode.
