Hi JQuark

The MGS1 15DT goes for about $750 new, but can be had for about $500 on Audiogon. You can check out Antique Sound Labs at

I listen to mostly jazz, accoustical guitar, female vocals, and listen to music at modest levels. I have no problem getting good and sweet volume from the 5 watt p/c tube amp.

The ASL has a pentode mode with 15 watts p/c, but I much prefer the sound in triode mode.

Good luck.

Enjoy the Music. Trust your ears. Laugh at Folks Who Claim to Know it All.
