HiFi Heroes: Peter Walker of QUAD

HiFi Heroes: Peter Walker of QUAD

This is the first in an occasional series of podcasts devoted to some of my Hi-Fi heroes. This podcast is dedicated to Peter Walker, founder of QUAD. These days, QUAD is owned by the International Audio Group and many of its products form part of the current fashion for retro products.

However, during the first fifty years of its life, under the ownership of Peter Walker it was arguably the most innovative of British HiFi companies.

Peter Walker was a keen musician as well as engineer, and he favoured classical music, so we have chosen Handel’s Water Music to accompany this podcast, performed by The Jean-Francois Paillard Chamber Orchestra, in a recording from 1961, available from the Internet Archive under a Usage Attribution-NonCommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 Creative Commons Licence.
