Antique Sound Lab: Problems with ASL reliability?


Has anyone had any reliability problems with ASL gear? I am considering getting an ASL Hurrican DT200 and wanted to know if I should be weary of ASL's track record.

Sonically I love the Antique Sound equipment. One problem that I run across though is that their equipment is hard to work on because of a poor component layout design. For example, I have the MG-SI15DT and had to replace a defective bias. To get the board up I had to remove the front faceplate, remove the volume pot and selector switch, remove the bias meter, and remove the triode/pentode switch. If the layout had been more carefully thought out all someone would have had to do is remove 5 screws to be able to pull the board up.
