    I've heard good things about Doge, I have no personal experience with them though.

    Looks good, I would change the tubes probably.

    Yep, and folks also rave about Bose, Emo and Monster and I don't send money there either.

    Just pointed a link to some info, that's all. Not endorsing or diss'ing said product. I will add you'd be nuts to send $3K to China for those amps. You could do better here in the states for that kind of money.

    LOL

    Doge

    I think it's pronounced Doe Jay, since it's "high end".
