What?!? You ASKED before you tried out a potentially destructive mod? That’s just crazy!
ROFL. Some people just don't know how to do it wrong!

Personally, I really appreciate your active engagement here. Thank you!
So there’s still hope for my 63-year-old ears!

Appears Monoprice just jacked the price on this amp by 15%! Now around $800.
I don’t suppose you’d be able to get the eBay discount, either?Oh no! Now that's over $1000 before tax/shipping etc in Canada.. guess Lyr it is

Saw thatWith all trade issues happening today it may take a while for prices to settle down. My all stainless steel air fryer without any Teflon nonstick coating for birds safety has double in price two weeks after I brought it and I wanted another.
I got chewed out on another forum when someone was saying that the Liquid Platinum was too dry. I was not sure what that means but was trained that a dry signal is direct or equipment is without any effects added like a distortion pedal or EQ like a straight connection from a guitar. First time I heard dry as a tone of sorts.
Saw that

Actually, the next post after your ... reprimand ... gave a succinct and useful definition. Works for me -- consistent with I found/posted below.

Personally, I don’t get this:
Difference Between Wet and Dry Signals or Sounds
from most of the usage of ‘wet’ in posts here — or over there. Certainly doesn’t seem like any specific tonality.
Yes, you hear tube amp aficionados talking about 'syrupy' amps. Doesn't sound appealing to me, but you wouldn't expect that, given the headphones I gravitate towards.What they are actually saying is that the Platinum is accurate to the original sound as given to it by the source. Saying it is too Dry makes this a negative when MHO opinion is that it is a positive.
BTW, Siemens NOS E88CCs are sitting in my PO Box -- I was too lazy to come into town over the weekend to pick them up. They'll pop into the LP this evening, completing my initial set of tubes (Stock EH, Genalex Gold Lions, Amperex PQ 6922, Siemens). I figure I'll get a good sense of what's possible and what I'm looking for out of tube rolling. At least I'll be able to talk somewhat knowledgeably about how different tubes work with different cans. Sure didn't want to spring for more expensive tubes before learning A LOT more.
Current damages: $600 amp, $68 GLs, $83 Amperex, $101 Siemens -- so $852 total. Turns out that 15% eBay discount can really add up
