| How many people wish they could maintain and/or service/modify their own tube equipment? I will do maintenance such as replacing tubes, bias adj. and simple repairs like a switch, lamp, bias resistor, etc... but if I can't easily troubleshoot I will send it to a pro or ideally where it was madeFortunately I have excellent soldering sk... | |
| Tube amplifier bias current question... I agree , I always watch it for a few minutes setting it just below target. Let it warm up for 15 min while always keeping an eye on it for a run away tube , adj , then check again . Then check an hour later. ... I'm not OCD or anything.... | |
| Streaming Music through my home stereo Enjoy.... I have a Vault 2i and love it. It totally changed the way I listen to music... Enjoy !!! | |
| Help choosing a Preamp. Any info would be appreciated. Look at Quicksilver's preamps... price / performance ratio of their gear is off the chart | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? The new Quicksilver Audio Headphone Amp..... built just like their amps... Ridiculously good for the money. Sound quality and build quality is off the chart. An incredible value at $998. | |
| Need under $1500 preamp for my system Can't go wrong with anything from those guys....enjoy !!! | |
| Vault 2i, etc. I have been thinking the same thing as my library grows. I have a Toshiba 2TB connected to it now but I think that prices on SSD are lower I think it's about time . | |
| TOTL Headphone Amps Yes , it drives my 25 Ohm Klipsch no problem..... drives the Grados fine also. This amp has balls !!! The Neve is a fine amp but it is not in the same league. The RNHP 's roots are in the studio, so it is clean, adds nothing... it's ... | |
| Different Tubes and general purpose? My amps can take many different output tubes.... that said , it sounds completely different based on the output tube. The input tube also changes the character of the amps. It was voiced using EL34 and even the different brands have their ow... | |
| If I have good local shops available, should I restrict my purchasing? Audio Visual Therapy are great guys to deal with. Just bought my son a pair of Audeze headphones there, I always look to them first. | |
| Anyone else grateful that they got hooked on this crazy addiction I agree with Engindr1960 and Coach.... best return on investment I've found ... I enjoy listening several times a day... every day.My Ex never got it... my girlfriend does... she loves music . She has diverse musical taste and we like a lot o... | |
| Anyone else grateful that they got hooked on this crazy addiction For sure !!!! I've been in this hobby, for lack of a better word for 40 years.... my first "real" piece of gear was a Sansui AU9900 integrated amp. Many components and many years later and I'm still hooked.For me music is the ultimate get away ... | |
| Quicksilver Mid Mono Tube Rolling Also , there are several build revisions of the amp..... the older ones without dual bias pots for each tube can not use KT90 or KT120 like the later ones can. So be aware of that.... aside from that any EL34 or 6L6 will work for the outputs, ... | |
| Quicksilver Mid Mono Tube Rolling Make sure you turn the bias fully counter clockwise before turning the amps back on if you change the output tubes. Then after it warms up a minute or two slowly adj bias and check 15 minutes after that and then a few times during the first hou... | |
| Quicksilver Mid Mono Tube Rolling Great amps you have acquired!!! I have had great luck with both Gold Lion KT 88 and KT 66 but am currently running JJ EL34 which I like a lot. I re tuned about six months ago with all JJ and the amp sounded fantastic but the input tubes got ... |
