Quicksilver (Non-Remote) Linestage & Croft Micro 25 Basic Preamps


Can anyone comment on the sound quality and any issues (excessive gain, noise, etc.) with either of these preamps? I'd be using it line level only of course (2V output DAC source) and SS amps

(non-remtote) Quicksilver linestage owner here. I think the quality is very good. I noticed that there is a bit of crosstalk between channels. For instance, I can faintly hear my streamer and turntable playing on other inputs when I switch the selector dial. But since you only ever listen to one source at a time, it has not presented an issue for me.

As for the sound, it adds a bit of tube warmth and richness without ever sounding syrupy.
