Call me "Joe Sixpac"

John,

Thanks for the posts on the Sixpacs. I kicked off the new year with a pair of Sixpacs and a AE-3 DJH and absolutely love them all.

I upgraded the capacitors to Jensen at the time of purchase, and have been completely satisfied with the stock tubes (although your discussion with Dennis has put tube rolling even furhter back in my mind).

The only reservations I have about the AES hardware is purely superficial: I don't care for the myriad of fonts and font sizes on the faceplates, the blue LED on the AE-3 DJH should be replaced with a red LED as on the Sixpacs, the speaker binding posts need to be upgraded, and since the bias pot is hyper-sensitive, a large knob should be included. I’ve been e-mailing the techies at AES, and all of my concerns can be easily remedied with a little dedicated project time.
