Hi David, The conversion went ok. I told him that you David "tube rush" refered me to him. When I was talking to him, he seemed distant at times. I then mentioned that I have been shopping around for either a 66 or 99 and trying to find the best deal. He asked the best deal I've received and then I told him. He just said that there was no way he could swing a deal because the Rogue equipment is in big demand. My best offer so far for the 99 Magnum lsr was $1849. and is apparently a 3 month old demo unit w/ nos tubes. Wow, what a deal $150. off full retail! Seems like you got a killer deal because you help with his business and are a friend.I appreciate the help though,thanks. I've since received a e-mail from a gentlemen that will sell his 3 month old 66 lsr for $850.. Sounded like a good deal to me. What do you think? Later on, what can I expect from a Magnum version of the 66 compared to the stock form? The dilema I've been in is, how much of a change for the better would the Rogue 66 be in my system? I see it this way, when I receive the 66 and if it works well, I've saved spending another 1k. that could be spent elsewhere! And if it doesn't work well, sell the 66 and look into a 99.
