| What is your favorite tube type? I've run a lot of different KT88 and 6550 in two different amps.They are all different but honestly not by a lot. Not enough to be worth changing tubes just for the sake of changing tubes the way a lot of guys do. That said, my favorite for its de... | |

| Did I buy a broken amp? YouTube has an in-depth documentary on the importance of the volume control. Its only a few minutes and well worth the time. Search for Spinal Tap ours goes to eleven. | |

Plga is loaded with cash from his five 100k head cattle ranches but short on time, none of the good stuff is here in Argen... | |
| Do I have my power cords in the right spot? None of them should be anywhere at all except by listening. When the first one goes in, where does it go? Where it sounds best.
