Quad Elite Integrated Amplifier Black
The Elite Integrated is an offspring of Quad’s ‘closest approach to the original sound’ philosophy and combines all the virtues possessed by the Elite Pre and Stereo power amplifier in one single chassis. A selection of input and output connections and functions are available in the Elite Integrated complemented by a QuadlinkTM terminal located at the rear of the unit that serves as a communication link and provides balanced signal transmission from the Elite CDS CD player and/or the Elite FM Tuner - an indulgence for audiophiles demanding simplicity in operation.

About brand
Quad
The history of Quad is one of technical achievement in the field of sound reproduction. It is a story that began with the Quad 1 amplifier, which brought the benefits of 15 years knowledge and experience in professional audio and industrial products to the task of making the most accurate domestic audio amplifier of its age.A few years later, in 1953, the product which set the standard for amplifiers was the Quad II Power Amplifier, the time of Queen Elizabeth’s Coronation and the year in which Mount Everest was finally conquered. This amplifier pioneered the principle of cathode coupling through the output transformer to reduce harmonic distortion to almost negligible levels. Such was its clear superiority that this model remained in production for 18 years. Three years later, in 1956, Quad demonstrated the first true full-range electrostatic loudspeaker. This remarkable product (known later as the ESL 57) used a virtually mass-less plastic film as a moving diaphragm between two charged plates. Compared with moving coil loudspeakers, the ESL 57 was free of unwanted colourations and distortions. This landmark product remained in production, virtually unchanged, for 28 years.
