Thanks Mike, I appreciate the input immensely. He has the 6L6 tubes in it right now, but is changing back to the 6V6 for me, using some JJ's he has on the shelf for it. I do plan on sourcing some Jan Phillips for it eventually. It sounds good, but from my research on it, I should be able to taylor the amp to my tastes with a few simple mods. It's got a Weber signature 50 watter in there, which is a plus, however it's one of their lower priced models (if that matters). After reading on Ted's site, going back to the 6V6's should clean up some of the treble (this amp is BRIGHT).
I have been reading up on caps too, I might replace a few in the preamp section with some oil filled ones...but just like you mentioned there is some debate on that one!
