    FINALLY, onwardjames gets his tube amp!!!

    James the same thing happened to me . New in 82. Klipsch LaScalas. and 2 Mac 2120 SS amps. My band pa and DJ set up. Loud but harsh. Plugged in a DGSE1. Boom night and day difference. My mom came over once a year for Mothers Day. First thing she said "that is the best your stereo ever sounded."
