Quad Elite Stereo Power Amplifier
The Quad Elite Stereo power amplifier has been carefully revised to ensure it retains its predecessors’ acclaimed musicality, whilst delivering enhanced punch and drive, alongside greater finesse and resolution. New ultra-low-noise transformers are used, and all power supply components have been specially selected following extensive listening tests. Delivering 2x80W, the Elite Stereo offers instantaneous overload recovery and full protection against over-driving without resorting to output line fuses or relays, which degrade the quality of the audio signal. It also delivers more sonic presence and impact than its predecessor, whenever the music requires it.
The Quad Elite Stereo power amplifier has been developed employing the strongest design features derived from its 99 series predecessor, but exhibiting updated internal audiophile-class components, highly specified transformers, multi-layer circuit boards and the latest, most advanced software available.
The Quad Elite Stereo power amplifier is encased within a sleek new modern aluminium casework design in deep grey with a matte black front panel which maintains Quad's bold but stylishly elegant aesthetic. Constructed using superior class cast alloy which ensures that quality is according to Quad's standards and in turn guarantees a valuable investment that will last a lifetime whilst garnering much merit over years of use. The Quad Elite Series includes the Elite CD-S CD player, Elite CD-P CD playerpre-amplifier, Elite Stereo power amplifier, Elite Mono power amplifier, Elite FM tuner and Elite Pre pre-amplifier.
