FOR ITS DAY, the QUAD system was really good.

For its day. By today's standards not so much, but then they did not
have what we had for a reference.

You can not judge something made nearly 60 years ago by strictly
modern standards.

With only refurbishment and cleaning up a vintage QUAD tube system
is, well, vintage. If you want vintage, then there you go. If not, buy
a new one.

The Quad equipment was made to work as a system with proprietary
cables. This was good because it allowed the units to be switched
remotely.

Don't booger them up with IEC and RCA connectors. Leave them alone or
build a new one from scratch.
