Anyone else heard the Quicksilver Triode Amps?


I hate to be the one to spill secrets, but has anyone else heard the Quicksilver Audio Triode monoblocks? My wife bought me a pair for my fast approaching 40th birthday, and we just can't stop laughing at how freaking incredible these things are. I can't tell you how many systems we've listened to, in high-end audio stores and in the homes of many generous and well audio-endowed audiophiles. We've taken quite a few products home for audition as well, and frankly, I'm just blown away. They are not even on the Quicksilver web site!

The Quickie Triodes are a 50W 6C33C powered triode that produce more body and palpability than I have ever heard. They make our CD player sound like we just upgraded it. I've certainly not heard everything on the market, that's for sure. However, I have heard some very pricey offerings from Lamm, Shindo, CJ, Audio Note, and others...and it's not even close. I know that sounds wacky, and maybe it is, but these things make the music sound downright edible. $5800/pr at retail, and they ought to be right there on the Quicksilver home page. Has anyone else heard them? Back to the music. Yikes!

They are a well kept secret. I have heard them several times(prototype) and they are probably the best amps Quicksilver has ever made.
Boa2, Great to hear your find with these amps. I felt the same when taking home a Manley Stingray and hearing the musicality, texture, and palpability I never heard in any other system I have owned, including some pricey seperates. Something about running Triode of about 25-50W/Ch. tubes that sounds so right. Enjoy!!
Honestly, the shortcomings of our Klipsch La Scala speakers are vastly 'corrected' by these amps. They fill the room with a layered, natural sound that is extraordinary. Even the bass is much tighter and has a thickness to it that I've never heard before, which is saying a lot for the La Scala's.

Thanks for the comments. Interesting that you have heard them, Tubeking. And Kehut, enjoy that Stingray. That is quite an amp!
