Description from the seller
Quad FM Tuner (Classic British Hi-Fi)
Elevate your vintage audio system with this beautifully preserved Quad FM Tuner, one of the finest examples of British broadcast-quality engineering from the golden age of hi-fi. Originally introduced by Quad in 1961 and refined through the 1960s, the Quad FM quickly earned a reputation for exceptional low-noise performance and superb musicality—qualities that remain highly sought after by collectors today.
This unit delivers true high-fidelity FM reception, designed to partner perfectly with classic Quad valve and solid-state amplifiers. Its minimalist front panel, precision-machined controls, and unmistakable industrial styling reflect Quad’s philosophy of “the closest approach to the original sound.”
Key Specifications & Highlights
Production period: 1961–1970
Tuning range: 88–108 MHz (FM band)
Sensitivity: Approx. 2 µV for 26 dB quieting
Signal-to-noise ratio: Typically better than 60 dB
Distortion: Less than 0.3% at 1 kHz
Outputs: Fixed and variable audio outputs for flexible system matching
Design: All-discrete circuitry with wideband IF stages for exceptional clarity
Aesthetics: Classic Quad fascia with warm backlit dial and smooth analog tuning action
Why This Tuner Stands Out
Whether you're a Quad collector, a vintage audio enthusiast, or simply seeking a tuner with musical warmth that modern digital units struggle to match, the Quad FM offers a level of craftsmanship and sonic purity that has stood the test of time. Its stable tuning, low distortion, and iconic design make it not only a functional component but a piece of hi-fi history.
