| Upgrading Quicksilver preamp or amp caps -- warranty impact? @decooney Thanks for relaying that. While I'm not a DIY person, this is not major surgery and if it brings the amp up to 2x or 3x the level, well, wow! I’ll go check out those other forums. The caps listed on Mike’s website clearly are not the kin... | |
| Upgrading Quicksilver preamp or amp caps -- warranty impact? @russ69 I missed that. They seem to all be fairly low price. I'm thinking of better caps, such as Mundorf. | |
| Upgrading Quicksilver preamp or amp caps -- warranty impact? @tvad I have a thick skin, plus, I know you're a nice guy.@hedwig I got this suggestion from another QS owner who got some more expert opinions about the level of caps in the units and he and 5 other QS folks upgraded and had great results.

To move between d... | |

Not knowing you, here are a few takes:One is that you have to stay on the Merry Go Round because you seek Nirvana and since you’ve never been to Nirvana, you can’t kn... | |

However, one audio dealer which a lot of people respect is Gig Harbor audio and they're very nice people who carr... | |
| Put that in your pipe(s) and smoke it +1 djones51's point about the general point of this forum being respected.One other things is relevant to his point, too -- it's really of value to our ability to get along as people to have a space where we keep politics *out*. I really would pre... | |
| change amps or speakers @yogiboy -- I think I need a one ohm tap installed on me! | |
| change amps or speakers @yogiboy -- what are the salient differences between older and newer 60s? | |
| Put that in your pipe(s) and smoke it +1 djones51. The "free speech" business is an attempt to cut the OP's original topic short, which attempts to raise the question of norms or best practices. In the OP's view, stifling discussion with the "report" button doesn't allow for a suffici... |
