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)

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...
I agree. Note I put it in quotes. Directed at the poster who called Quicksilver mid-fi. Might have been another thread. Sorry for the misunderstanding. 
I WASNT ranting at you....  just the Mid Fi reference in general.     I understand...  Quicksilver is definitely underrated.   So good for the money.. .Im sitting here listening to my Mid Monos and asking myself "why am I buying a new Amp? 

I'm having a 300b amp built but will be keeping the QS for sure.   They will do duty in a second system.   If Mike built a low powered SET   I would have bought it.  He did actually,  several years ago and they are quite rare.
I'd like to A/B my Quicksilver against a "truly hi fi" preamp someday. I don't doubt it can be bettered, but I've not had the chance to see whether it would be bettered by 50% or 10% or 1%, etc. To my ears of course, which are the only ones I've had the privilege of using.
Over the years I’ve owned many preamps and the Quicksilver has bested all of them!!
