The famous 44 added an easy-to-handle RCA terminal to the back terminal of the quad control amplifier. There is a perfect balance between the freshness of the English QUAD's small preamp and the richness of its characteristics. If you pair it with the same English-made speakers, you can enjoy a calm, high-quality sound. Personally, I recommend the combination with QUAD405 (Fujisawa Koshi)
