Tube suggestion for Quicksilver Mid Mono Blocks


After switching from KT88's to E34's (with which I had a mishap), I installed GL KT77's and they are doing quite well.

 

I just posted 2 sets of KT88's for sale on Audiogon (A matched quad GL, and a matched JJ quad).

Im thinking of getting a set of GL KT66's for rolling.

Anyone have comments on the differences between the KT77's and the KT66's, and what happened to the 6L6? And maybe a comparison between the 6L6 and the KT66.

 

Thanks

Coming from an Inspire amp myself to Quicksilver Mono 120s for a little more drive, the key I found, and  a few colleagues, with the larger higher power monos, was ensuring to pair up with a really good tube preamplifier. While the QS Linestage is a good match for the lower power Mid-Monos amps, I found the higher power 60/120 Monos come to life more with a really good 6SN7 preamp. Imo, it’s the extra it takes for QS amps to give the Inspire a run for the money. Keep us posted if you try the new KT Monos! 👍
