Using a new transport, our own proprietary loading mechanism, control software and the most advanced decoding with the emphasis on reading data correctly, the CD-S produces a sensational performance without fuss. Mains powered and offered with standard RCA connectors or with a ‘bus-link’ to be connected through a Quad 99 pre-amplifier, the CD-S is as versatile as it is practical. When used with the ‘bus-link’ system, the CD player is operated through the system remote control (supplied with the pre-amplifier) and dovetails into the system. Power triggers, system commands and balanced audio signals are all communicated through the bus system. The CD-S uses Crystal 24bit/96kHz DACs for a high resolution, detailed soundstage.

The Quad CD-P shares only the casework with its brother, the CD-S. A clean sheet design, the CD-P confirms the relevance of CD as a state-of-the-art format in the 21st century. With a level of detail and accuracy to this standard, many industry onlookers have questioned the need for the new ‘high-resolution’ formats at all. Although we always look with interest at new technologies, the compromise to CD performance is not justified by the limited amount of well recorded high-resolution software available. Rather, the ability to reproduce CD to the very highest standards possible is our absolute priority.

In many countries FM radio still has the potential to provide the highest fidelity programme quality. The Quad 99 FM Tuner has been designed to make the best use of that potential. The UK has gained a worldwide reputation for the high quality music broadcasts transmitted by the BBC, and as a result, manufacturers such as Quad have considerable experience in designing tuners that receive and reproduce music realistically. The Quad 99 FM Tuner incorporates that experience in full.

The 99 FM Tuner and integrated 99 CD Player are both connected to the rest of the system via our ‘Quad Link’ bus system, which combines complete system control with balanced line audio transmission. Not only does this make the entire system remarkably easy to control, but provides the cleanest audio signal possible.

State of the art performance combined with unique operating features sets the Quad 99 pre-amplifier apart from competing products. The combination of universal phono-socket connectors and Quad Link inputs gives the ability to connect an almost unlimited number of sources, each with optimal matching. All inputs, including those for moving-coil and moving-magnet cartridges, have adjustable sensitivity. This flexibility also extends to the wide range of precise tone control adjustments that can be made. In addition to the usual high-frequency filter, there are adjustments for the bass response, and the unique Quad ‘Tilt’ control which skews the entire frequency response to give a preferred tonal balance.

The 99 pre-amplifier is packed with technical innovation including noiseless solid state signal switching and digitally addressed analogue volume and balance controls. These track both left and right channels with a previously unattainable accuracy of better than 0.1dB

Quad power amplifiers have always been amongst the finest in the world. Over the years, they have earned a reputation for being ‘straight wires with gain’, because they neither add nor take anything away from the original music signal. The 99 stereo power amplifier maintains this tradition. It uses a dual complementary feedback circuit with exceptional stability margins to achieve exemplary performance and an output of over 80 watts per channel. Overload recovery is instantaneous and the amplifier is fully protected against over-driving or misuse, without resorting to output line fuses or relays, which degrade the quality of the signal fed to the loudspeakers. The 99 stereo power amplifier can be safely used to drive most types of loudspeaker, both Quad’s own electrostatic models and conventional models made by both Quad and other manufacturers.

Powerful amplifiers can more faithfully reproduce the dynamics of the music, enabling the user to have a wider choice in the selection of loudspeakers, particularly when less efficient models are being considered.

Power is something that this 99 mono power amplifier has in abundance. Into a nominal 8 ohm load it delivers well over 150 Watts and a breathtaking 220 Watts into a 4 ohm load. In all other respects, this amplifier is close to the 99 stereo power amplifier and shares its technology and topology as well as its excellent standards of performance.

The 909 Stereo power amplifier incorporates Quad’s patented current dumping technology and is one of the finest audio amplifiers available today. The current dumping technique eliminates many of the problems associated with transistor amplifiers giving a consistent and predictable performance without a need for the fine tuning adjustments on the production line. In current dumping amplifiers there is a very high quality low power output amplifier and a very high power output amplifier whose performance is not critical. This high power output amplifier controls the loudspeaker at all times and provides the current or ‘muscle’ to generate the sound. The low power output amplifier is arranged to generate a signal that compensates for errors between the input signal and the signal fed to the loudspeakers. The result is that the quality and accuracy of the output signal depends only upon the performance of the low power amplifier. In the 909 this low power output amplifier has been engineered to the highest standards. The problems of crossover distortion; quiescent current adjustment; thermal tracking and transistor matching all disappear. If such a thing as a perfect amplifier were to exist, then the 909 would be very close to that perfection.
