Yes, it appears on the QS website, specs show both Linestage and Remote control preamps list "inverted", 180+ degrees polarity on output. Some interesting feedback on it and what to do or try, fwiw. Video/Youtube: Paul at PS Audio did a quick video on the topic for a write-in question. The link may get filtered out, but I'll post it here both ways, and with spaces, cut & paste and pull back together, try it. https://youtu.be/HJKshrTGPtI or h t t ps: / / y o u tu.be / H J K s h r T G P t I |
OK, now I am confused more then ever. Have 3 preamps on hand: QS LS, passive Prometheus TVC and Simaudio P5 (dual chassis). QS was the least favorite of the 3: no weight, very lean, dry sound. The TVC gave me some weight, transparency. Simaudio was the best, it owned the M120s, full rich sound, very spacious. Now what? I was hoping QS would be the ticket. Stock tubes, I do not think the amp was ever opened. Do I take a chance with NOS? Anybody had good results wuth QS power using a SS pre? Gents, please weight in! |
