"I don't know of anyone ever saying that the Quad Eight signal path was better. If it was, I would think that the Q8 consoles would be refurbed and sold as APIs are. They barely sell on Ebay in parts. They were good when the company was new, but quickly became not desirable."
Any Ebay listings for vintage 70's quad eight consoles or channel strips parted from them over the past year have not made it to the end of the auction time.
All were purchased privately offline and in some cases above the sellers initial buy it now prices.
I know as I bought one of the Q8 consoles and never even got close to buying some parted out channel strips that lasted on a recent Ebay listing for less than 24 hours. Someone just up and bought them all above the sellers listed price.
All I can tell you is my 70's Q8 Pacifica is still plenty good...!
Anyone wanna sell me some spare channel strips? |
