Like many of you, I have owned a BUTTLOAD of equipment over the past 40 years. Some of it I wish I had, and some I was better off getting rid of. I am older now, and know better than to let go of something like the Quickie. The last time I owned anything comparable to it was when I had a Superphon pre-amp made by Stan warren of PS Audio. It was simple and sweet. At least a friend mine owns her now.
