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!
What in the world does it matter what caps are in the TRIODES.... Nobody on this site would be able to understand the difference anyway. You leave that decision up to the experts...like Mike Sanders. Just sit down and listen to the music for god sake. Jordi
What tubes should one us in their TRIODES??? HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I have the answer to that very very question???? Anyone want to know the answer. I can make that TRIODE sound like mike and honey with just one specific change????? Jordi
How long should one let a TRIODE on until maximum effect is achieved??? What is the best IC to use to run to this pair of amps???? HUMMMMMMMMMM I know the answer to that one also??? Jordi
