Any Opinions on the Quad Artera Solus


Hey Everyone,

I just came across this all in one unit from Quad, the Artera Solus.

Seems like a decent unit and so was curious if anyone has any experience or opinion on it?

A few of the reviews I read were quite positive.

Thanks

I've since moved on from the Quad,couldn't handle the labor intensive & dangerous biasing procedure.The DAC was IMO superb,musical,defined & never brittle.Quad electronics always seem to be voiced justtttt right..
freediver, you suggested that I consider the Quad Vena ii in a post earlier this week.  In this post you state that you've moved on from Quad for reasons that I don't understand.  What do you mean by "labor intensive & dangerous biasing procedure"?  Should I not consider the Vena?
No friend,that was a tube amp...It required internal biasing when changing power tubes.You had to turn it upside down,open the bottom plate,power up the amp,use a multi meter & small screwdriver to adjust the input voltage..NOT a good idea for someone with bad eyesight & shaky hands hahahah...
The Vena II is a Solid State amplifier so you never have to do anything except plug it in & enjoy..
