Stereo Power Amp - Boxed
In its original shipping carton, here is a lovely Quad 405-2 stereo power amplifier. Tested for around 2 hours with its matching pre-amp and working perfectly, with no issues whatsoever. Physical condition is absolutely wonderful (see close-up pictures).
In March 1987 this 405 was modified to Mk2 version - including changing the 4-Pin DIN socket to 2 x Gold RCA sockets (see pictures 14 and 15). One year later, in March 1988, it was sent to Quad in Huntingdon to be checked and serviced (see picture 13).
The only thing which should be mentioned is one of the speaker output sockets has some physical damage to its plastic sleeve (see picture 16). This has absolutely zero effect on performance - and you’re not going to see it in normal use.
If you’re thinking of buying a 405 or 405-2 you should ask the owner to remove the cover so you can inspect the big smoothing capacitors. These are often seen in poor condition, with bulging tops, or about to erupt like a volcano. A 405 in this condition will still appear to work - but not for long..!
100 watts RMS per channel of current dumping audio joy.
Multi user switchable mains volts, so this will operate in any country.
This comes in its original shipping carton, with its original user manual, a pair of RCA (phono) signal input cables and IEC mains cable.
