QUAD Platinum Stereo amplifier. Excellent condition. Top of the line. Great tone, deep soundstage, powerful bass. Very satisfying sound!Excerpts from Review: https://andreweverard.com/2014/01/21/670/
"The Platinum is a deeply impressive power amp...it has excellent grip and control, ensuring speakers connected to it sound taut and focused, and play rhythms cleanly and crisply without any sense of smear or lack of dynamics."
"The Stereo power amp feels like it has limitless reserves of power, and most speakers will start showing signs of reaching their mechanical limits before the amp is getting anywhere near running out of puff, which I assume it will do eventually – I chickened it when the levels were still going up, out of respect for my hearing."
"This is a Quad ... amplifier capable of serious snarl and grunt, and able to play the grittiest of tracks without misting them over with a mask of refinement, and a Quad amp able to drive as hard as most of us would ever want, and for as long as we could desire, while still seeming to be well within its limits."
"What’s really deceptive about the Quad combination is that it makes everything it does seem so easy: recordings are opened up and made compelling, and yet require very little effort from the listener. Yes, the Quads will do the ‘lean forward’ thing, rewarding close attention with superb insight into a good recording, but they’re just as impressive in ‘lean back’ listening mode, when you relax into the music – any music – and just let them do their thing."
