The Paramours are a great product for the money, but they are a "budget" entry level amp whose parts have been speced to satisfy a relatively low price point. In my mind this raises a question about how much money one would want to spend upgrading Paramours versus starting over with a more upscale product like the Paraglow or a Welborne DRD 2A3 amp. Each upgrade to the Paramours is only an incremental expense, but you could increment yourself to something that ultimately costs more than it's worth. I did the Bottlehead iron and caps upgrade, which is well worth the price, and upgraded to a Sovtek 2A3 (you really should have a backup pair of power tubes anyway). Beyond this I believe I would try to find a buyer for the Paramours and replace them with a Paraglow or a DRD.
