Tube suggestion for Quicksilver Mid Mono Blocks

Look at my system , it lists the QS amp that I am using. BTW, just because you had a tube failure in 3 days doesn’t mean that you should write off the EL34 tube to use with the Mid Mono amps!

Those Mono amps are discontinued. Most of the QS amps are discontinued. It looks like Mike is winding down. The pickins' are real slim if you take a gander at the QS site!

I think you are right Yogi.   I think the materials shortage also discontinued some QS a little early.

Funny, I was just thinking that today. Who will take QSs place?

I havent given up on e34....just JJ.

I purchased a new set of GL KT-77’s for my Had Inspire. At about 50 hours one let go damaging the amp. The exploding capacitor made quite a pop. It took me about 2 hours and 10 Q-Tips to clean out the mess. Dennis replaced the cap and the connector strip that broke from the explosion. I’m not a Quick Silver owner yet but I’m looking hard at the KT’s. Check with Hilde45 as he has a pair and experiments a lot. I have tried about a dozen power tubes in my amp. I have NOS GEC and SED and Tungsol , I like them all. I’ve run modern GL, JJ, EH , Psvane and Tungsol. My extensive testing and spending left me with this conclusion. Get the best NOS input and driver tubes you can afford and run modern power tubes. I prefer the Tungsol KT -150, and KT - 120’s. I had the similar results with reproduction Dynaco MK III’s. Regards , Mike. 

Great question. I love my KT77 for my QS Mono 60's but got rid of my KT 150's. Now I'm looking for KT66 as well.
