Description
Very few Hi-Fi components are as instantly recognisable as the QUAD 33 and 303, and for that we make no apologies!

Still one of the most popular models in the history of one of the world’s most poignant Hi-Fi brands, the QUAD 33 and 303 are benchmarks in almost every angle of desirable audio equipment – performance, reliability, industrial design, value and musical romance.


QUAD 33 PREAMPLIFIER

Quad 33 preamplifier features a high-performance, low noise MM/MC phono stage, a dedicated headphone amplifier, 3 x RCA and 1 x XLR inputs, XLR out, and Quad’s iconic ’Tilt’ adjustment, all within an iconic chassis that’s home to physical tone controls, input selections, and a delicate LED backlit display.

 

ISOLATION = INTEGRITY

Vastly superior internal components. Greater chassis real estate to improve circuitry architecture (topology). Complete isolation from power supply/high-power circuitry noises. It’s these elements that combine to give you near-perfect soundstage, imaging, detail and dynamics. And it’s Quad 33 that perfectly combines these elements.

 

MUSICAL FINE DINING

Quad’s top chefs took the highest quality produce (a low-noise, custom-specified toroidal transformer; reservoir/smoothing capacitors; ultra-low-noise regulators) and painstakingly arranged the signal path of 5 independent work stations to produce five 5-Star dishes (1 x XLR, 1 x Phono, 3 x RCA) utterly devoid of impurities or cross contamination. Some call it topology. Quad consider it art.

 

TWEAK LIKE A PRO WITH TILT CONTROL

Avoid thin, bright or bloated tonal adjustment with Tilt Control, a tonal attenuation design that tilts the audible frequency range (on a 700Hz axis), subtly adjusting the overall sound balance with ‘warm’ or ‘cool’ hints, and all without altering volume or colouring your sound.

 

YOUR SECRET EQ SUPERPOWER

Via remote or its onboard rotary dials, refined bass adjustment from -6dB to +6dB, Quad’s iconic Tilt Control, and left/right Balance control let you finely tune your system without inadvertently creating forced and inorganic performances.

 

NO NOTES LOST IN TRANSLATION

HiFi separates is a game of whispers. But balanced XLR cables eliminate signal interference, leaving the original audio signal untouched. And Quad 33 is now equipped with fully balanced XLR inputs and outputs, ensuring the integrity of your audio throughout the system chain.
