Crimson amps they were all the rage for a period.
Together with the sticker for preset. Cool!

My old Magnum Dynalab MD102T , with Mrs Houdini .
I got Mrs Houdini in early December 2012, I let her out the cat basket and she hid behind the curtain.
I came down the following morning and she had disappeared, I didn’t se her for two weeks until she slowly appeared one evening .
The Dynalab I still have but it needs a service and new valves. R3HD is a very acceptable service so in no hurry to replace
This is the first time I saw her after two weeks hiding under the cooker

How many Tuners do you own?
Yes, The pre amp was battery powered.
I still have quite a few, although many are boxed up these days. I’m very happy with the NAT03 in the main system so I don’t tend to rotate in some of the collection as much as I used to.

I only ever had 2 tuners, both Meridian 104s. Sold the first one when I lived in an FM blackspot and got the current one a few years later for less than I sold the original. I don’t have an aerial since moving but can’t bring myself to part with it.
I have never seen any QUAD unit painted black before. Was that a user modification?
(To my eyes, much smarter than QUAD’s usual drab khaki, as in the other photo.)

A picture of my QUAD FM4 with matching 34 and 306 all bought in 1992. This system is now used infrequently as a second system. I don’t tend to listen to FM radio much these days as Radio 2 is now aimed at a different demographic.
The FM4 had a good reputation when it was current particularly if it was linked to a good quality aerial.

Excellent, beautiful stuff, and welcome back.
In regular use … well at least once a week.
RS on the roof but it’s lost a couple of elements to pidgeons.

Mine is used everyday, for much of the day.

The Quad 34, 44, 306, 405 and FM4 were all available in grey as an alternative to brown for the last few years of their life. I think the 77 series was black. The 99 series was all grey. And Quad does use black now. I have a Quad “Artera Stereo” power amplifier which is black. (This is Quad’s top current dumping amplifier at present.)

It still does sound good. I have a grey FM4 boxed up in the loft as I managed to get a second NAT05 XS for almost no money, so use that on my office system instead of the FM4, which needs a new display.
