[Amps] Best Alpha amp

[John Simmons]

I'm looking to buy a used manual tune amp. RF Concepts is selling 89s at 
a reasonable price. What do you think of this model? Tube replacement is 
always a question with cost and availability in the future difficult to 
predict. I'd prefer to stay with a more recent model and something that 
fits the desktop. I've also compared it to the (about the same price) 
new AL82, which is obviously not in the same league.
