Antique Sound Lab Amps


Has anyone heard any antique sound lab amps, or dealt with Audio Oasis in Canada.

Dark--I don't that many hours yet on my Twins, but I am quite pleased with them as is. Has anyone dealt with Brooklyn Audio? They quoted me a great price on the MGSi15--However, they do not have the standard model in stock. Evidently, there is an upgraded model with a Pentode/Triode switch, and an external bias adjustment--which costs $100 more. I have never purchased anything from a Canadian dealer--Are there Duty or Custom charges to pay? Thanks!
Well, I received an e-mail from Divergent, advising me of the closest dealer to me in Grand Rapids, MI--and I just ordered a MGSi15 (standard model) from Holm Audio in Chicago. I have purchased items from Holm in the past, and they have been good people to deal with. They also gave me 10% off the list price. If anyone is interested, ask for Albert--and tell him that Bob from Grand Rapids, referred you. FWIW--I didn't ask if it was still in effect, but they used to have a trade up policy--That may be useful to you Dark, if you are still unsure of which model you want.
Wow, Pretender, you move quickly! If you think that your speakers sound impressive now, wait until 200+ hours. A whole different level of performance and it doesn't stop there. Dekay suggested that I first try a Doc Bottlehead Foreplay tube pre-amp for $99 ($180 w/ full upgrades) w/ my Rotel amp and see how that sounds. If the Foreplay is 2/3 as good as people say, then I can live with my Rotel for a while longer while I save some dollars for dual monoblocks. Eventually, I'd move the Foreplay to a better looking chasis. Seems like a cheap way to get some good tube sound!
