6C33-B vs everything else.

I can vouch for my good friend Dennis' (Badboss429 - wish you didn't sell that Boss 429!) enthusiasm over the Quicksilver 6C33B monos.

We got together last Saturday so that he could get my impressions of them, I have to say they won me over. Enough power to do the job, terrific bass weight / extension / fullness, a great treble, and for him, the most important characteristic, a sweet, musical midband. To my ears, they offered the unique combination of what we seek in the EL34 tubes - midrange, with what the larger tubes provide - bass, with seemingly no tradeoffs. The blend of just enough richness, body, and liquidity with clarity and openness is a rare find. Not really sure of another amplifier at $5800 that bests them. You may have preference for a different flavor, but that would be just that, different, not better.

We're getting together soon to listen to them side by side with my Jadis and AtmaSphere amps - definitely a murderer's row of amplification. I'm sure it'll be another fun day.

By the way, AtmaSphere is not an OTL guy, he is THE OTL guy - Ralph Karsten, owner of AtmaSphere.

Thanks for the kind words Joe, I can always count on you to accurately describe the things you here(far better than me and most I may add).
Please note that I am not a Quicksilver dealer, just an enthusiastic owner of Mike's products for 21 years.

I guess you never know who your chatting with here. I think that is the neat thing about Agon. We are all on the same page ( literally )

I myself am just a guy the loves audio at the lest possible price, with the maximun possible quality. I got annoyed with the computers that are sold on the store shelf. None had what I wanted and din't want. So I finally got the courage to build my own. Most likely some day I will do the same with most of my audio gear. But for now I am inclined ot buy my gear.

Those Quikie Triodes are still making my mouth water though!
