That is dedication! Why didn't they copy a later model Quad II?
What were the problems?

People here have criticised Chinese transformers.
They (maybe not the same ones) have said that original Quad OPTs were
amongst the best.
So can we get Chinese transformers from the same factory that Quad does?


That would involve a major assumption - that the modern OPTs are of
the same quality as those used in the original Quad amps.
