| Best amp for Vandersteen Quattro? Quicksilver V-4, bulletproof easy to use, reasonable to retube and they sound great too! I am using them currently with 3A sigs & 2Wq's the four piece Quatro equivalent and they are great! | |
| Have you noticed that... I think this hobby is about whatever you want it to be about! | |
| Tube tester recommendations Thank you for your responses. I recently purchased an Aesthetix Calypso and Quicksilver V-4's to replace my Pass X2.5 and X150 that were mated with a Raysonic 168. My tube list has grown from 6922,6DJ8, to; 12FQ7, 12BH7 or 12FQ7, KT-88 and 12AX7WB... | |
