Thanks for the reply. I could not get myself to spend that kind of money on an amp, so i decided to purchase a 300b Willsenton. Been doing some modding/hotrodding to it with a change in the power supply, changed out some caps for better Mundorf's and now thinking about new OPT, maybe Hashimotos. For a 1500 dollar 300b, it sounds very nice. I really enjoy the tinkering with these tube amps.
