This is a great site. Thanks for all the great info.
I just bought a 212HD-150 and can't find any info about it. It's my first MM amp. I really liked it when I played it in the store but since I have used it with my band I have had a hard time getting a rich warm sound out of it at loud voulume. The sound is real flat, dry and sharp. I need more overtones. It has Sylvania 6L6's in it. I'm not knoledgable about hybrid amps.
Could I try different power tubes?
What tubes would you suggest for a loud, clean, deep sound?
Do I have to bias it if I replace with a matched quad set?
Am I trying to get blood from a turnip?
It's in mint condition. I payed $425 for it. Do you think this was a fair price?
Any advice you can give me would help.
Thank you.
