Disappointed. A Quad 3 amplifier review with a difference. Performance, usability, aesthetics and sound are important but our tech goes inside for a look at the electronics. Don't miss the Tidal Playlist of test tracks that may surprise you.

Close-up view of a high-quality speaker system — A full review Inside and Outside. Functionality. Sound.

The Quad 3 Integrated amplifier had issues that surprised our host. Functionality and sound - was it better than Naim? At the top end of the bottom of the market, is it worth the money or is it just nostalgia? We cover everything in our comprehensive review.

Inside - cast front panel and heavy toroidal!

Also in this episode - The Guest revelations that shocked us as we look back on our 1st year.

QUOTE

Reviewing the Quad 3 - "Okay.. not a fan. There's nothing about the ergonomics of this amp that I like, at all but the Preamp was immediately a delight, the bass gained a little bit of.. depth and it was.. more fun and had a bit more oomph than the Naim.". - Andrew Hutchison
