these things definitely seem to be the real deal. i feel i am the most lucky person on my side of the solar system, as i recently purchased an xls 500 head for 35 dollars at a Watertown, NY pawnshop that was going out of business. on a different note, what dose anyone recommend for replacement output tubes, as i am sure these are getting old...i feel extremely lucky to have this beast as my first tube amp.

New Tung-Sol 6550s or old Sylvania 6CA7s.

Let me know if you are ever interested in selling yours. Keep in mind that there is a very small market for them and most are looking for the XLS 1000. I would give you a fair payment. I just have a big curiosity about the 500 that won't be satisfied until I get one. I have already passed on two of the 1000s.

yeah, best bet is the tung sol el 34's. i have the t.s 6550's in my vl 1002 and they are breath taking! can't mess up a classic, try too ask lee. from the mastermind is always the best bet.
