Info wanted: Quadraflex Reference 450R receiver

[Hafizullah]

There is a Quadraflex Reference 450R in excellent cosmetic condition for sale at a local thrift shop. Anyone know about this unit? Is it worth snagging if everything works?

thanks, in advance.

I had one and used it in my second system for about a year. Sold by Pacific Stereo I believe. There is not much information out there about them and no way to find service manuals. I'm sure AK member PacificStereo while chime in here.

If you replaced it with something you liked better, what is it that you like better in the replacement?

I replaced it with a Pioneer SX-780. The only reason I replaced it was because the 780 matched the Pioneer PL-530 TT I am using. The Quadraflex was more than capable, sounded great and had a good tuner and phono stage.
