I am still considering purchasing a Mk II or Mk III to replace my Mk I. I have asked about these versions before, but I have more specific questions at present, so I hope you'll indulge another inquiry. I am not asking the general, which amp is better kind of questions here. I would like to know specifically how bass and treble performance differs amongst these three. Does bass get tighter, crisper and cleaner, more like that of a good quality high powered solid state amp. with the Mk II or Mk III? Differences between these two in that area? I am very sensitive to etched, overly crisp treble, which is one reason I tend to prefer tube amps in the first place, and I'd like to know what happens to the treble in the Mk II and Mk III. Many thanks, George

Don't think the power transformer changed, but it has been more than a decade ago. Looking at pics on ARCDB, it doesn't seem to be the case. Yes, bass was tighter and crisper on my Acoustats.
