more cash at it. Also, I want a bit more power.

Oh, the irony! QUAD gave up valve monoblocks when they went to
solid-state, first with the 303 and then the 405.

Sadly, that was a "cashing-in" exercise when QUAD were on their uppers.
It would *never* have happened in Peter Walker's days.

Now he *was* an engineer.
