I found a Warwick Tubepath 10.1 on ebay last year auctioned off thru a pawn shop. The street price is over 2k and I won the bid for $800. It was noisy and spitting all over. Went and got some new tubes (Sovtek El84 and GT's 12ax7). The amp quieted down but soon went noisy again. I was getting ready to sell it. Then Bass Player did a review on this amp, gave it a glowing review, as they usually do. Their reviews are mostly useless, but its one way we get an idea of whats out there. Being German made and engineered, I knew it had to be a decent to great amp. I found a source for tubes. thetubestore.com and they reviewed a selection of preamp and power tubes. I ordered a set of Tung Sol 12ax7's and a few TAD El84's. Let them burn in for a day and wow. Now I must say, the Warwick is sounding fantastic. I'm beginning to prefer it to my Mesa Mpulse 600.
I'm glad I spent the time and a few $$ to experiment. I would have sold the Tubepath, and never would have experienced the greatness of it.
I thank the tube store for their recommendations.
Jimi
