Jolida amp repair in and around San Francisco

Hello Folks

I recently purchased a Jolida JD-202 second hand from a friend. The amp sounded fantastic for about a week - but then around yesterday, it started making some "popping" noises. The popping more or less stopped today but the amp sounds like it has lost a LOT of it's bass. It sounds a fair bit "thinner" and flatter (the drums all sound like leather gloves being slapped against a woodblock rather than a wood stick being hit on taut leather) and appears to have lost a lot of it's audio power too (I need to turn the volume up higher to get the same sound through the loudspeakers).

I was thinking of taking it to a repair center to see if any of the tubes needed fixing- but I wasn't sure I knew any good tube amp repair folks in the city. I like in the Mission District in the city and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations they could make.

Thanks so much!
