AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Quad 33 is a legendary and idiosyncratic transistor preamplifier from 1967, designed to work perfectly with the Quad 303 power amplifier. This British icon immediately stands out with its compact, innovative plastic housing in a characteristic olive-green/orange color scheme. The preamplifier offers very advanced tone controls to fine-tune even less-than-perfect vinyl and radio recordings with pinpoint clarity. Thanks to the modular design with plug-in cards, you can easily adjust the input sensitivity for your turntable. Together with the 303, this combination delivers an incomparable warm, musical, and natural vintage sound.

Specifications
• Production Period: 1967 – 1982
• Frequency Response: 30 Hz to 30 kHz (±0.5 dB)
• Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): 0.02%
• Signal to Noise Ratio: 70 dB (Phono MM), 85 dB (Line)
• Input Sensitivity: 2 mV (Phono MM), 100 mV (Radio/Aux), 100 mV (Tape)
• Tone Controls: Bass, Treble, and advanced switchable Low-Pass HF Filters (5 kHz, 7 kHz, 10 kHz)
• Dimensions (W x H x D): 260 x 92 x 165 mm

The Quad performs perfectly.
