Vintage tube sound from a modern amp

iddio- she can share my room anytime!

I couldn't even get Decware to pick up the phone or answer an e-mail.   Three year plus wait?   I definitely made a wise decision buying this amp .   I would love to put this thing head to head with their 300b....    

Quicksilver amps are wired point to point, but they aren't as pretty as Toolbox. Aric Audio amps are wired point to point. Aric will customize to the specs desired also.

Not to dump on anyones product in particular but please beware tube amplifiers which have the tube sockets soldered directly to a circuit board. It is not a reliable construction over the long term especially for those who enjoy tube rolling. Heat and the mechanical action of pulling and pushing on tubes as you change them can crack solder joints and circuit board traces.

There are some very high cost amps with this construction and I am always surprised they choose this method. I would always prefer a product with tube sockets mounted to the chassis and then flying leads to a circuit board or even better true point to point wiring.

My Toolshed replaced a pair of Quicksilver Mid Monos.... the best value in audio at $2200 a pair !!! Huge value proposition with these amps. Yeah they are ugly, but they are all about bang for the buck.

I had them seven years, they were / are awesome for a 40 watt amp.... super reliable. Sound exceptional.  Still on the fence whether to keep or sell. They are built like tanks, I’m sure I would get a lot of milage out of them in a second system.
