What about the Kinki Studio Choco integrated? Haven’t yet heard it myself, but it’s often reviewed to have a SET amp richness and nuance while still maintaining authority and clarity. Extremely well built for the price - great QC:
Affordable SS that sound like Tubes
I was a 100% vinyl guy for many years. Due to maintenance cost and aggravation I switched to DSD after a lot of research and I have no regrets.
I am looking for suggestions on affordable SS that sounds as good as Tubes.
Here's the rub. My Mid Monos were less than $2,000 brand new and they sound incredible. As does my Pre that costed me less than $1,000.
Integrated suggestions are welcomed.
And I would like to hear from people that had fine tube equipment and switched to fine SS equipment.
And please, no mention of "Tubes have Higher Distortion." LOL
