I have put thousands of hours on my QS Remote Linestage and can say that it is a superb-sounding preamp. There were 2 versions of this pre, a 12AX7 and 6922, and opinions differ on their sound. I have the 6922 version and have found it to be nothing but enjoyable... revealing enough of sources, but not what I would call a soundstaging champ like the AI M3A I once demoed. The construction quality is superb as well, with zero transformer hum and a neat parts layout. The new version is not remote, btw, and uses a 12AT7 pair. I am listening to Dead Can Dance Live now, and it sounds awesome.
Quicksilver Remote Control Line stage. Need feedback from current or past owners
I need feedback and comments about a product: "Quicksilver Remote Control Line Stage". Quicksilver is a small electronics company in San Marcos, California. I cannot find many reviews on this line stage, except the Audioreview blog which are customer testimonials that are generallyold and possibly unreliable.
A audio writer named Paiul Seydor wrote a review of the unit in TAS in 2002. He generally raved about its sound However the pre-amp was updated in 2012, and there are no reviews or mention of whether those upgrades improved the overall sound quality. So any information on the this pre-amp will be appreciated. Thanks, Jim
