I've owned Oval 9's in the past. A few years ago they were the hot wires. I say pick up a pair of the AU24's. Look for the best price--If they offer no help; you should be able to turn them for the same price'cept for maybe 10/15 in shipping.-- Another inexpensive sug.--If you have nada for conditioning; you might look for the Custom Power Block for a couple of hundred.The cord is fixed which saves a bit.---Again even this can be turned for whatever you paid.--- I think these are great things to try with a pseudo /kinda; money back thing. Least I forget-- have you done any tube changes??
