Quicksilver Preamps?


I'm STRONGLY debating buying either the remote or std. version. How good are these preamps? Are they competetive and truly high end? I've seen pictures with the covers off and they're extremely minimalist / simple, almost too much so?  (I'm thinking power supply)

They drive the tubes so they last about a year before microphonics and what not starts.

id like to add to the OP’s inquiry from Previous  owners and what they moved up to.
I bought it largely on Yogiboy’s posts. I have not compared it to anything other than the Schiit SYS it replaced. It was a small step up from the SYS but I’m starting to think my previous speakers didn’t translate upstream gear changes. So I think maybe that’s why I wasn’t as impressed as I wanted to be when I got it.

I can think of a few line stages I’d like to demo and compare but that’s not money I can part with these days. So I typically research what people perceive to be the best 12AT7 tubes and then see if I can get a pair and see.
