| Preamp Output Completely Different with Tube Amplifier versus Solid State Amplifier Exactly. I have a First Watt M2 that also has 15db of gain. My tube preamp is dead quiet with that but exhibits noise with my 1V sensitivity tube monoblocs. | |
| How many of us are truly satisfied with their systems? Completely, entirely happy with my systems (3) consisting of Quicksilver, FirstWatt, Spendor, Dynaudio, and Audible Illusions...zero desire to change for 5 years and running after 35 years of system building. | |
| Tune-In Stations With Great Sound Radio Venice is THE best sounding classical feed on TuneIn. I listen to it each day for hours, as I work from home. It also has by far the finest playlist of any classical stream, again by a huge margin. | |
| Best audio prank ideas Sneak in during the night and swap left and right interconnects... Tee hee heee! | |
| What is Moving From Solid State to Quicksilver Mid Monos Like? Hi Fastcat, My DNA-125 was all stock, and yes, I agree that that amp in stock or modded form is an all around better option that Mid Monos. Though I did not have that amp for long, I did enjoy it, but the higher power QSs sound more like music to... | |
| What is Moving From Solid State to Quicksilver Mid Monos Like? Fastcat95, In a huge coincidence, I am the third person in this thread to also move from a DNA-125 to Mid Monos. I also used Frieds (A3s) with my Mid Monos as well as Spendor 1/2s, and sadly these amps (paired with the QS linestage and using real... | |
| Borresen X3 measurements Does every great measuring speaker sound good? No. Do the majority of great measuring speakers sound good? YES! Do the majority of crappy measuring speakers sound crappy? That would also be a YES! | |
| Who remembers California Audio Labs? Great sound, but plagued by numerous quality control issues. After my fourth unit, I was done. | |
| An audio component you just can't let go Spendor 1/2...Just when I've thought I had them beat, I realized, "Really, who do you think you're kidding?" Will put them in my will. | |
| AR VT80SE compated to Ref 75SE amp discussion Jimbones, As a big Quicksilver fan and owner here, I strongly recommend you consider the KT Monos. I have recently purchased a pair, and I can say that they are FANTASTIC sounding amps...musical, engaging, great bass, zero fatigue, and shockingly... | |
| KR Audio KT88 Vacuum Tubes Anyone who pays that amount is an idiot...period. | |
| Which preamp for Quicksilver mono amps? I use the 6922 version QS preamp with my Mono 120s, and it's a great match. I also use an Audible Illusions M3B but have to use line attenuators to knock back the gain. This combo also sounds awesome. | |
| JBL's Marketing Blunder.. Tempest in a teapot here...Nothing wrong with this ad. | |

| Is My Tube Amp Unfixable? Help Needed Hi All, Just an update here...had QS replace input stage and you guessed it, still noisy. Threw amp away...$2500 down the drain. |
