any help would be appreciated.

He must be pretty old now. He might have decided to pack it in. If he did he should have announced it on his website though.

I like my quicksilver.glad to see it was just an update. I have them on my  voice of theater.enjoy the music

Bias setting for Quicksilver V four amp see below:

''Recommended bias is 40 ma and maximum bias for each tube type is as follows: EL34 40ma KT77 40ma 6550 50ma KT88 55ma KT150 60ma''

Speaking of Quicksilver, specifically the V4s.  Has anyone tried swapping out the supplies KT-88s with Golden Lion KT-77s?  Buying 8 is not super expensive but I’d like to hear from others that might have tried this.  I’ve been told the KT-77s are a little down on power but make up with it with a much more musical presentation, midrange to die for one dealer told me.  Anyone have any experience they want to share.  I’ve gone the KT-150s but still prefer the KT-88s to those for a more balanced presentation.  Cheers
