What is Moving From Solid State to Quicksilver Mid Monos Like?


Hello to all!

I currently have a McCormack DNA125 modified / upgraded in a manor similar to what McCormack does.  It is fine sounding, but I have a curiosity (itch?) about what

I would experience if I moved to a pair of the current Quicksilver mid mono amplifiers.  Can anyone out there who has made a move from good SS equipment

to the mid monos tell me what they gained that made them happier with the sound?

Thanks in advance!

I went from a DNA 125 to a pair of Quicksilver Mid Monos.  The McCormack was a great amp , it was my first solid state in years.  Prior to that I had several decent tube amps.  

I have used the Mid monos with PSB Platinum M2 , Revel 106, Heresy, Forte, Sonus Faber Concerto  and a few others.  

Mine were built in 13, I bought them when they were 1.5 years old.   They have seen continuous duty up until fall of 22 when I bought a 300b.  I'll rotate my amps occasionally,  

I have them in my system now and they sound great with fresh EL34.  I also have late 50s RCA 12ax7 input  and JJ 6922 drivers in them 

They can use almost any el34 and 6l6 variant.   KT88, 77,66,    and others.   Can "sound" how ever you like.   

Hard to beat new for the  money  , steal used.
