I did take my amp to Joe for repair - not modification - on your recommendation. And I didn't like the result.

I am in fact running Genalex reissue KT88s in my DA60 and they are driven very well indeed.

But the inaccuracy of your criticism of my amp illustrates my point. People offering modifications will often find a way of criticising a design. That criticism is the first part of the sales process for the mod. In my view that must cast some doubt over the validity of the criticism, as there is at least some chance that it is levelled to simply make a dollar, rather than because it has any validity.

Now there is nothing wrong with people selling stuff. I simply suggested that people would be well served to exercise caution when deciding whether to upgrade or not.
