I'm looking for a "do-it-all" amp for my Caldera (with Chord Qutest as source) and VO. Reading through almost all the posts, it seems like an EL34/KT88 TC (A&S Mogwai or Cayin HA-6) might be a good fit given the endless tube-rolling permutations.
Has anyone compared the two? It looks like I can get slightly more variation with the HA-6 with SET and Ultralinear modes and the latter seems good for me as I'm not a fan of syrupy, old-school valve sound. Is the price difference worth it or I can just spend the money on more tubes.
On another note, I've gone from stock pads -> suede -> stock -> suede and now back to stock again
