Well made and has a huge following. But Quicksilver gear sounds like grandpa's old tube amp. So this is how you NOT knock something? Makes sense when you consider the source.......

Disappointing. VTL cust service is not so good. Dont work well with distributors i hear. Not many carry vtl. Higher end preamp, series III woefully overpriced at $30k.
