Quicksilver Preamps?


I'm STRONGLY debating buying either the remote or std. version. How good are these preamps? Are they competetive and truly high end? I've seen pictures with the covers off and they're extremely minimalist / simple, almost too much so?  (I'm thinking power supply)

I had one on loan years ago, ans I thought that the sound was what some would consider classic tube in that the timbre and textures were good, and it was not at all harsh, but I thought that it was a bit lacking in drive and the big architecture of some other preamplifiers. Agree with pmm, not the best, but good value.
Some of the purist QS fans like the non-remote version claiming it sounds better.  Have friends with both and they like them.  Put really good caps in it and some nice tubes and decent interconnects and you'll enjoy it for many years. When you are done, someone will take it off your hands willingly.  
I have the non-remote version and tube changes have been fun to play with. I will mod it when the warranty period is over and may not feel a need to change it until everything else changes around it. I love it.
Well I for one love my "mid-fi" Quicksilver Full Function. Upgraded Mullard MC1 long plates and metal base 5AR4. It's all good.
Quicksilver is not Mid Fi at all!!!! 
They play nice with most gear too. Preamps are so tough to “A” / “B”, it’s not like hooking up two sources and toggling back and forth.   Call Johnny at Audio Connection in NJ...
