I certainly had a 'main' problem with the Quad amps I received, they were all broken fresh out of the box!

Radiorog, Really sorry to hear about your experience, the technical faults you describe sound similar to what I experienced.

If your going to purchase a new Quad amplifier please post your findings here.

If someone is accusing me of being a racist I have the right to defend myself, and will do so regardless of wether someone is saying it to me in the flesh or on an Internet forum. I can't stand racist people and the thought of someone labeling me that makes me sick. I love my Asian girlfriend...

Norman you have tried your best to be sarcastic and argumentative from the start of my post and it's just too much, really. So now I'm a racist because I purchased some amps that didn't work and tried to warn others? My view of Quad has nothing to do with xenophobia, it has everything to do with...

I agree Vladimir, it's just i felt that i was accused of being racist, which is really hurtful, and i felt like i had to defend myself. I felt it best to do that by providing a solid article to substantiate the things i said. Further to that i've tried to share my concerns with with the current...

To substantiate my claims previously mentioned by me about the ethical standards in China i am providing a link to a brief article written by distinguished journalist Lijia Zhang. Most of my previously mentioned points are covered in this one article...

The 909 towards the last few years of it's production was put together in China and it was still a great amp. Unfortunately the level of quality control seems to have come down over time. Personally I think any hi-fi brand coming out of China faces the same fete, potentially. Anyone who has been...

Thankyou Paul. Quad has had numerous production issues with the QSP, and I think it's a real shame. Andy, when Quad went to China, cheaper caps were used in the 909 which was the first step in the wrong direction. Following that, there have been numerous issues with the QSP amps being faulty. I...

Firstly i probably have more Chinese freinds (from different Asian countires) than you do fingers on both hands, i can speak mandarin and cantonese and my girlfreind is from Taiwan. As for my previous comments about ethics in China, you can ask any Chinese from HK, Singapore, Malaysia ect what...

Anyhow I had a rotten experience with Quad and I'm completely turned off the brand, it has been bastardized by Chinese.

Spiny I didn't quite catch the meaning of the first paragraph of your most recent post (the one talking about substantiations).

Perhaps your better informed on that than I am then, but my gut tells me to take what the reviewers say with a pinch of salt. I think most of us have read average or even bad reviews about a product we thought was great (and vise versa). I recall a time when Oppo DVD and blu ray players weren't...

That Quad 606 amp should be fine, or just about any other Quad amp made before 2012, however i would be very hesitant to purchase any current model Quad amp, as they are not the same company they used to be (at least with the amps). I recently purchased 3 Quad QSP amps new and they were all...

So you always believe 100% everything you read? I suppose if you read an article saying man never went to the moon you would believe that too right?
