What are my options regarding the ASL MG-Head. If I was to buy new, where should I buy it from, I live in southern California. Is the new MG Head Mk2 available and if so for how much?
Please forgive my ignorance, I'm a newbie and trying hard to get up to speed with you guys.

These guys are one of the main importers of ASL products. Depending upon how much oney you're willing to spend, the options are:
MG Head Mk II
LH-01
MG Head OTL32
TwinHead

Each is more expensive, and should be better sounding. No one has, to my knowledge, received a MkII or OTL32 yet, so it's up in the air. It was at the CES this year, and many, like tuberoller, commented on how good it sounded.

Hope this helps.

MG-Head Mark II is available and a Head-fi member has it already.

Thanks for the feedback.
Does anyone know of a Southern California dealer.
Thanks,

Try Upscale Audio, they are located in Upland, CA.

Kevin Deal is great to work with too.

be careful with divergent, I am in the process of having a hell of a time just finding out if they got my amp (no email reply in 6 days) so I don't know if I'd be too keen on ordering a new one from them, because if you have to have it serviced like I'm having to go through you'll be in the same boat I am.......

Just spoke to Kevin from Upscale Audio, helpful chap. He is going to find out how long it would take to get one. He quoted me $330 or thereabouts for the Mk2. Seems like dealing with someone local at this price is the way to go. Thanks JMT and others.

How about a dealer further north in the San Francisco Bay Area (south bay would be best)? No need to post another thread to answer the same question.

You won't be dissapointed with Upscale Audio. I bought a MG Head from Kevin a while back.

Maybe this is closer? I got mine here (over the phone). They carry close to a full line of ASL. I'd say that the MG Head is a product that would be good to buy from a nearby dealer you trust if possible vs. direct from Divergent (Why? 1. ability to audition your unit before buying, 2. Help with any quality issues that might pop up).

I had a doa tube, which they promptly replaced. Overall, I'm pleased with the amp. Enjoy.
