AES - AE3 Linestage

I know that there are numerous upgrades that people have made to the original AE-3 linestage. What about the MkII version? Would any of the upgrades done in either the original or DJH versions cary over to the MkII?

For example look for Philco Admiral and numerous others. Make sure the base has the Sylvania factory code 312 a date code usually follows. Some GTAs are the style I think so highly of. You just have to find a reference pair to learn the architecture. Triangle plates are the wrong ones to buy. It's really a boxy rectangle with a straight spine with the rivets making the T. Wrong maybe too strong. In a way none are really bad. I think that's what gives this pre and others by Cary the e.g. SLP-05 there magic.

They are short bottles with the flashing extending down the side of the tube. The plates are similar in shape to those in my Sylvania VT-231's - I'd describe them as having more of a "T-shape" than being triangular. They are also mounted parallel to one another, rather than being offset like the plates in the Sylvania GTB's.
