QUICKSILVER PHONO PREAMP
Quicksilver believes that simplicity is the best approach to accurate sound reproduction. This
has added signficance in phono preamplification because the mission of a phono preamp is herculean.
It must accurately capture miniscule output voltage signals generated by a phono cartridge, processs
them via its RIAA network and magnify them many thousands of times so that the line stage can amplify
the signals accordingly. There should be no signal loss or variance while all of these are occuring
within the phono preamp; otherwise, there will be missing or inaccurate musical detail. The resulting
output should be extremely faithful to the record grooves. For simplicity, the all-tube Quicksilver
Phono Preamp uses only two triode tube sections per channel for a gain of 44db at 1 kHz.
The Quicksilver Phono Preamp allows the sound, body and magic of music to flow through the
audio chain. The phono preamp becomes the music's medium not its master. It plays music as close to
the recorded grooves, without parcelling or highlighting parts. Listening with the Quicksilver Phono
Preamp frees the mind from wandering into analysis. It allows music to connect and meld. Music
listening becomes close and personal, as it should be. With the Quicksilver Phono Preamp, its so
easy to enjoy music. That is the Quicksilver difference.
