How Long Should a First Watt SIT3 Last ?


I'm fairly certain my Quicksilver Monos are kaput. Im thinking maybe I don't want to mess with the troubles and uncertainties of  tubes. Im considering getting a used SIT3, but how long should they Last considering the internals are no long available if I encounter a problem?

Thank you,

mike got back to me, he said he thinks its a failed fuse.  that makes no sense at all to me for several reasons but Im not the pro and the fused looked fine.

 

He wants the old ones back and he will send me new ones.

 

hmmmmmmm

Tony, you list on your system page that the Heresy pair are IV. Why I said IV. 👍

Quicksilver amplifiers are designed to last a lifetime. They have simple circuits and use quality components. My QS Mini Mite mono blocks are 18 years old and still going strong. Bought them new from Mike Sanders in 2006. If you still enjoy the sound of your QS tube amplifiers I’d call Mike and arrange to have them serviced.

Getting them back to their original performance might be less expensive then you think. Best of luck 👍
