((((The QS has the classic tube sound. The Rogue sounds more modern.))))
 Are you sure you listened to both recently ?????

Quicksilver 2015 latest version 12AT7 more alive then prior efforts also drives lower imp loads.

 Rogue 12 Au7 more classic tube sound with nice fullness.
 As Ceder grove mentioned
 Bring them both home, test 'em out, and pick the winner.

Notice the Output Impedance is 100 ohms,
Line Stage Preamp

New for 2015, the latest version of the Quicksilver Line Stage offers a simplified switching and signal path. With almost 10 times the output current capability of the previous Line Stage it will drive any amplifier input impedance and interconnect cable with ease. The new Linestage embodies the Quicksilver philosophy "simplicity is the essence of good engineering".

Price $995. add $45 for home theater pass-through
