RE: Quicksilver Silver 88s

Thanks Abe,

My Manleys were used and came with 6CA7EH tubes. From an exchange with the good folks at Manley it seems early versions were delivered with EL-34s, but after some reliability problems they switched to the ElectroHarmonix 6CA7. I'm not certain but current production may have changed back to EL-34s again?

Anyway, pleased to see your positive remark about the EH.

Over the years I owned a Dyna ST-70, Marantz 8B, and Music Reference RM-9 so I had basic familiarity with the EL-34 sonics. But these Snappers are more extended in bass and treble than I remember those earlier examples, while maintaining that pleasing mid-range.
