The problem is that a link to "ampage.org" triggered a malware warning because THAT site had infected people. Also - the last time Google reviewed the site was 10/2 which means those links could have been removed by now and the warning would still be in place.
This isn't exactly true. The warning is saying that people have visited THIS site and had software that was hosted on "ampage.org" installed without consent. Every time I've gotten this warning from Google, it's been a real threat and some small number of people really did get infected.

I resisted. I just kept looking at the bridge until I convinced myself it looked too cheap and would need replacing to be usable. Let me know if I was right or wrong

Re the Aria Mosrite clone, I have played the very similar Wilson Bros model - and Ultimately i found that the guitar had real difficulty staying in tune due to a combo of strat style floating trem, and a 3+3 headstock - (which I consider a very poor combo on any guitar ) as the D & G strings always go sharp as they get stuck in the Nut - anytime you touch the whammy bar.

So budget locking tuners and Graph-Tech Nut

I will post an impression on the Aria. But hello music can be quite slow in shipping. As far as floating bridges go, I like them. I cannot tell
if the Aria has a floating bridge or not.

Update: I just got a quick reply from Aria support. The dim 380 does have a floating bridge.

So if that was a serious question - the little 5w Defender would be really good for home use. I think you would need to mic it for any kind of a gig.

Back to the Aria - I have never played one, but I have to say the Customer Service was great. I got a quick reply by email on the floating trem question, and a full page reply on my tuning question. I was impressed with that.

Aren't all the single-tube EL84 amps going to be about the same? Having been through a Valve Jr, Blackheart, Crate v5, and the Defender, I'd say yes. Of those, only the Crate has a outlier (...in a bad direction). In the end, it's probably driven by speaker efficiency more than anything.

What kind of speakers are in these? I did see these Carbon tolexed cabs in Guitar Center the other day and it looked and even felt really nice in person. I forget what the price was there in GC, but I think it was either $279 or $299 I was still thinking it "looked" nice at that price even, but that was without hearing it though.
