I did just the opposite (e.g. went from quicksilver monos to SS) and have never looked back. Besides the constant repairs needed for the “quickie’s”, the sound from my McIntosh / Threshold / Ayre amps were superior in comparison. While I would consider a tube line stage again, I would never again consider having a tube amplifier. That said, from what I hear, current tube amps are much more stable.
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!
