I had met Ross Walker in the 1980 C. E. S., Las Vegas.
As I recall, he was good looking and had Blonde hair.

Oh thanks for your sharing and edification

Ordinaryman is not ordinary at all... ^.^

Please keep sharing to benefit all QUADite!

I have no idea that QUAD has invented modules cards since QUAD 1 valve preamp. Was it swappable?

-------------------------------------------

Yes. they are fully swappable.

For Quad 22, each adaptor has its own matching pickup and tape input sensitivity. You buy the right pickup and tape adaptor for your cartridge and tape recorder.

For Quad 33, pickup sensitivity is matched by using different sides of the PCB (there are 4 usable sides for a PCB) and tape sensitivity is matched by putting a screw into the proper place on the PCB.

If your quotation is correct, I have no doubt to cast my vote on "QUality Amplifier Domestic"

-------------------------------------------------

"Naturally, all they need to do is to change from QAP Quality Amplifier Professional to QUAD QUality Amplifier Deomestic. If you go back to QAP 12 and QA 12/P, you'll find they never used the word "Unit"."

This is my original idea, not a quotation.

Thanks for your sharing and I am looking forward to seeing you further sharing at QUAD Amp Club.

george1977,

You are welcome. I will become busy and may need to pull out from the R33 playground soon.

The story starts with their post-war public address amplifiers QAP 12 (Quality Amplifier Professional 12 watts) and QA12/P (Quality Amplifier 12 watts with Preamplifier).

When they found people like to use their QAP and QA amplifiers at home, they moved into the domestic market and started the model QUAD. Naturally, all they need to do is to change from QAP Quality Amplifier Professional to QUAD QUality Amplifier Deomestic. If you go back to QAP 12 and QA 12/P, you'll find they never used the word "Unit".

John Gibert used QUAD "QUality Amplifier Deomestic" when he talked about Quad factory in Gramophone 1972.

If your quotation is correct, I have no doubt to cast my vote on "QUality Amplifier Domestic", yup Ken Kessler wrote "Quadlity Unit Amplifier Domestic" for many years.

Please keep sharing in order to edify more people about QUAD, I want more people to know how good QUAD it was and is...

Thanks for your sharing and I am looking forward to seeing you further sharing at QUAD Amp Club.

Your collection of pictures and articles are fascinating and I have no idea that QUAD has invented modules cards since QUAD 1 valve preamp. Was it swappable?

Surely QUAD amp IMHO can be 長插電源 if it was used at day-in-day-out radio broadcasting and continuous takes-after-takes recording or week-after-week mixing!

Playing it by the book or not is up to the discretion of user. owner manual is just a kind reminder for safety protection sake (also a defence for QUAD factory against the tortuous liability by virtue of user abuse or misuse) but not a invulnerable and binding bible.

As jcml said, do whatever if you think fit!

-----------------------------------------------

You guys are right. I'm not a purist neither.

Just use your Quad amp in the way that makes you happy but make sure you know what you're doing.

Beware of some engineers as they may talk like an artist. They might say:

After you've bought my painting, don't hang it on the wall upside down or add a sun at the top right hand corner...... (just joking)....

QUAD (Quality Unit Amplifier Domestic)

-------------------------------------------------

Just for sharing.....


As mentioned by John Atkinson in 2003, QUAD may stand for either "Quality Unit Amplifier Domestic" or "QUality Amplifier Domestic".

It seems that the mainstream nowadays inclines to "Quality Unit Amplifier Domestic". Ken Kessler, the writer of of the official Quad Book, is one of the proponents.

However, I myself vote for "QUality Amplifier Domestic".

The story starts with their post-war public address amplifiers QAP 12 (Quality Amplifier Professional 12 watts) and QA12/P (Quality Amplifier 12 watts with Preamplifier).

When they found people like to use their QAP and QA amplifiers at home, they moved into the domestic market and started the model QUAD. Naturally, all they need to do is to change from QAP Quality Amplifier Professional to QUAD QUality Amplifier Deomestic. If you go back to QAP 12 and QA 12/P, you'll find they never used the word "Unit".

John Gibert used QUAD "QUality Amplifier Deomestic" when he talked about Quad factory in Gramophone 1972.

No one knows....... Only the late Peter Walker himself knows......

it shows how to plug in the 插卡......

then when they introduced 33 preamp..... they have 5 插卡, one for phono amp, two for line amp, one for phono adaptor and one for tape adaptor.

Both phono and tape adaptor 插卡 are plug through the "windows" at the rear panel....

george1977,

Just for sharing rather than clarifying something.

QUAD 44前級發表。這是第一部使用插卡模組輸入構成的前級擴大機..... I would have to say Quad engineers are really brilliant....Quad might have started this 插卡 concept (though just for phono and tape input adaptor) back in 1950s when they produced Quad 1 valve preamp.....

If you wanna know how handsome Ross Walker is in the 1970s.......

BTW, please don't laugh at my naive questions......

You could find a lot of nice guys from Quad back then.

Here you can see kind advices from Quad..... 20 years ago......
