should both need modification also?
the only mod will recommend is to try Russian or American tubes for the 6N1P buffers...
for the Dared, a better quality volume pot will go a long way...
come to think of it, why will you buy something so that you can tinker with it?
to me buy it if you like how it sounds or if you can afford it....
5k is not so expensive....
even with tube rolling, i have seen many here who ended up buying and selling tubes,
is that what they really want....?
then after a while sold their amps, aba, swerte naman nung nakabile....
still there are those who after installing boutique caps in their amps ended up selling their gears,
and at a loss at that.....
