I THINK THE WIFE’S HAPPY NOW, MY HI-FI COLLECTION OF MANY YEARS IS GETTING SMALLER BY THE DAY. DON’T TELL HER, BUT WITH THE MONEY I’M GETTING FOR IT ON EBAY I’LL BE ABLE TO UPGRADE AGAIN!!!
HOWEVER, THIS AUCTION IS FOR A LEGENDARY QUAD 405 100W PER CHANNEL CURRENT DUMPING STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER, STANDARD AND UNMODIFIED. AN ORIGINAL, EARLY CLASSIC ITEM OF BRITISH HI-FI AT IT’S BEST, BUILT LIKE A TANK TO LAST A LIFETIME. LAST USED WITH A LINN LP12 AND THREE TAPE DECKS, INCLUDING A REVOX REEL TO REEL, A NAKAMICHI AND A SONY DAT RECORDER RUNNING THROUGH A QUAD 44 AND DRIVING TANNOY SPEAKERS IT SOUNDED SUPERB WITH A BIG, SMOOTH AND POWERFUL SOUND. SOME OF THE ABOVE ARE ALSO GOING TO BE LISTED ON EBAY SOON, SO WATCH OUT FOR THEM.
THE 405 IS IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER WITH NO UNWANTED HUM, HISS OR CRACKLING AND NO BANGS OR THUMPS WHEN SWITCHING ON AND OFF. ON A TECHNICAL NOTE, QUAD SPECIFIES THAT THE DC OUTPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE ON A 405 SHOULD BE LESS THAN 7mV PER CHANNEL. WHILST TESTING THE AMPLIFIER LAST WEEK BEFORE LISTING IT ON EBAY, I MEASURED THE DC OFFSET AT 2.3mV ON THE RIGHT CHANNEL AND 3.6mV ON THE LEFT CHANNEL. THESE ARE EXTREMELY LOW FIGURES FOR A 100W PER CHANNEL AMPLIFIER AND SHOW BOTH WHAT A GREAT DESIGN THE QUAD 405 AMPLIFIER IS AND WHAT EXCELLENT CONDITION THE INTERNAL CIRCUITRY OF THIS PARTICULAR AMPLIFIER IS IN.
THE SERIAL NUMBER OF THE POWER AMPLIFIER IS 47941 AND COMES COMPLETE WITH MAINS LEAD, A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL QUAD 405 INSTRUCTION BOOK INCLUDING CIRCUIT DIAGRAMS AND A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL QUAD 405 BROCHURE. THE QUAD ALSO HAS A MAINS VOLTAGE SELECTOR, USER SWITCHABLE BETWEEN 110 - 240V AC.
IT IS FROM A PET-FREE AND NON-SMOKING HOME AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION CONSIDERING IT’S AGE. I’VE SEEN FAR WORSE EXAMPLES ON EBAY RECENTLY. THE QUAD PAINTWORK IS ALL-ORIGINAL AND THERE ARE NO RUSTY SCREWS OR CORRODED SOCKETS, ETC. THE FRONT PANEL AND HEATSINKS AND THE REAR CONNECTION PANEL ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT THERE ARE SOME SCRATCHES AND SCUFF MARKS ON THE TOP COVER AND BOTH ENDS OF THE CASE (THIS IS QUITE COMMON ON QUAD 405’S).
COLLECTION IN PERSON IS PREFERRED BUT I CAN SEND AT YOUR RISK TO MAINLAND UK ON PARCELFORCE 48 FOR £18.00 OR ELSEWHERE BY QUOTATION. I WOULD PREFER CASH ON COLLECTION BUT PAYMENT BY BANK TRANSFER, PERSONAL CHEQUE, POSTAL ORDER/BANKER’S DRAFT OR PAYPAL IS ALSO ACCEPTABLE. I WOULD ALSO BE WILLING TO DELIVER THE QUAD 405 PERSONALLY THROUGHOUT THE YORKSHIRE AREA FOR 45P PER MILE (ROUND TRIP MILEAGE BY SAT-NAV).
