Up for sale is a Quicksilver Headphone Amplifier. I got this unit in a trade last month. However, it doesn't quite fit in my setup, so I have to let this one go.
This amp is very well regarded, lots of positive reviews around. It also has the benefit of being transformer coupled, making it usable with a wider range of headphones (output impedance is only 2.2 ohms).
This unit is in great condition. There is a very small scuff on the bottom right corner of the faceplate. Also, the volume knob / potentiometer is slightly angled upward: this has no effect on the operation of the volume knob (smooth the whole way). Otherwise, it is impeccable. See photos.
Do note that this tube amplifier is sensitive to noise. When I use this amp in my PC setup, I can get a bit of noise pickup on the volume knob (dependant on desk placement, and proximity to my router). When paired alone with my CD player in another room, it is clean as a whistle with every headphone I tried. This amp definitely benefits from being in a dedicated listening station away from noisy electronics.
The amp will come with six tubes in total:
- Stock tubes: two Mullard 12AX7, and two JJ EL84;
- Pair of 5751 double mica black plate RCA tubes (purchased by the previous owner).
Considering the size, weight and value of this amp, I will prioritize local buyers. However, I do have the original box and packaging, so I can ship if necessary (buyer pays shipping).
Please let me know if you have any other questions!
