I love mine too, fitted it with Tung-Sol tubes and a Sica/Jensen
replacement speaker. I paid € 169,- for my Champion 600.

Was there much difference in the sound with the upgrades?

StratOBlues,

With the new tubes and speaker there was less hum and noise.
More clean headroom and a tighter and better bass response.
I think good tubes are especially important.
Overall it sounded better to my ears.

I too am a big believer in hanging onto tubes that work "just in case". I'll definately try a tube upgrade then explore changing out the speaker. It's a real fun little amp for when the big one is just too much.
