Original Quads (57) - the perfect amp


I am feeding my 57s with a Quad 303 and love the musicality of the pair. What’s an upgrade with more detail, air, instrument separation, yet same musicality?

Berning EA-230? Pass Labs Aleph 3? Others?

Futterman OTL- best I’ve owned or heard

Heathkit UA2s, Eico HF14 or other 6BQ5 amp with good iron 

EL34, 6L6 or 7591 tube amp (see above) like ST70, Eico HF87, MC225 or Klimt Kent and 8B if you’re well heeled

Scott 222s, Fisher X100s and other vintage integrateds can be wonderful, too

I prefer tubes, clearly, and feedback is necessary in my experience— I’ve had several pairs over the past 30 years-:)
