Hola Buckingham,
I bought a stock 99 last week for a KILLER price....$1270. delivered to my door! The upgrade to the Magnum version may come later. From what I've read about the 66 and 99, I also think the 6sn7 tube will smooth things out. We will see. On my stock 66's power supply, I noticed a plastic cover on one end opposite side of where the cord comes out. Is this the place to fill with sand? What kind of sand do you use....only silica sand, which resists moisture? How much sand do I use in the power supply? Sorry about all the questions, but I'd like to know. Just recently, I've also upgraded my amp. The new amp compared to my previous amp, brought out more of the signal and sometimes I feel that it should be more smooth sounding. Hopefully, the 6sn7 tube in the 99 will do it for me.
