QUICKSILVER PHONO STAGE PREAMPLIFIER

The new Quicksilver Phono Preamp offers high gain, low distortion, low output impedance and both active and passive RIAA equalization. Input impedance and capacitance are internally switchable and the power supply includes 2 chokes and five stages of filtering. The circuit is all tube, no transistors. Gain is 47db at 1 KHz; 67 db when used with the Quicksilver Moving Coil Step-up Transformer.

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 minuscule 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 occurring within the phono preamp; otherwise, there will be missing or inaccurate musical detail. The resulting output should be extremely faithful to the record grooves.

Detailed sound!

Was a bit sceptical about ordering this stylus, but glad to be wrong. A very pleasant sounding replacement. Sound is insanely close to the original, which I still have. Very happy with this purchase. Thank you

Stylus for Sanyo 280 turntable

Great stylus, came fast.

Not much to say other than it arrived quickly and worked well.

Great product & service

A complete novice, I knew I needed a new stylus for an older Fischer component system. Unsure about what would fit and how to accomplish, I contacted LP Tunes. They answered my query within a day. I sent photos of existing cartridge, recommendations and installation instructions were given, I ordered and it arrived in a timely way. I was able to install the stylus myself and great sound has been restored. Thanks for the prompt response, knowledgeable advice and installation instructions!
