I've owned 2 on the list, the Cary adn teh Glow. The Cary is head and shoulders better but is about 2-3X your budget. The Glow is a very nice product and of course has the benefit of the USB DAC.
attractive modest power tube amp??
OK, the WAF is pretty high on this purchase. I have a bedroom system with: Apple iMAC running iTunes + Marantz 2250 rcvr + Energy RC-minis (+ subwoofer)
This is for internet radio and playing iTunes, digital tunes. The Marantz is ok but I have my heart set on a tube int. Music .. classical, jazz, mild rock ... not very loud. I had a Shanling MC-30 (3w/ch) and want a little more power. I am thinking 8w/ch+ should work.
My budget is < $800
Since this is our 2nd system I don't want to spend max-bucks on premium gear. I'd like to get an attractive tube amp with good sound and >= 8w/ch. Kits are welcome.
I've been looking at Elekits TU-879.
Any other good kit ideas?
Also a pre-made amp would be fine. Some I am looking at ...
