For a while when I was young dumb and broke, I was only on STG, BP and CL etc etc. At some point I became less young, less dumb and less broke and decided to look up some AMPs and was hesitant on the YMMV and potential aunty aged providers but tbh it worked out fine. At some point I wanted better service and found sites like this TER and USA and did my research before spending "big bucks". Now that I'm informed I still go to AMPs, but in Philly we don't have the same kinda amps you guys have in NYC. It isn't the variety option packed spas such as NYAF for example with diff levels of service and extras. Philly has been upping its game lately and there are some really good providers around, I think going forward I'll be going to Agencies and what not. IDK that higher standard level of service is just really nice and sometimes unbeatable. But still got love for some of my amp favs. TBH take the plunge man, great thing about this is its not like once you go you can never turn back.. Everyone's different. What matters is if you can justify spending X amount for XYZ type service. As long as you are satisfied it doesn't matter in the end where or what type of place youre going. Only you can decide. Best of luck sir.
