best integrated tube amp for under 1000 new /used

HI GUYS..FINALLY GOT THE 202A MODDED AMP FROM UNDERWALLY....delighted so far..and i am told things will improve after burn in..thanks for all the suggestions..thequietman

Kevin at Upscale Audio has them. I have been talking to him about them. He says the price is going up with the next shipment he gets, to $1595 and $1695. They are $1495 and $1595 (phono)right now.

Regards,

hi guys..I saw a few amp kits on the web but I am not capapble of assembling them. Also I think it is hard to beat a real audition with your own speakers. Great review on the unison unico..does anyone know where to audition or contact a seller/distributor?
Thanks

There is no "best."
Sometime you can find a used Audiomat Arpege in that price range. It would be near to lower side of the power I would want. Very musical amp though.

Also look at the Ella from Diyhifi as a kit.http://www.diyhifisupply.com/diy_kits/the_ella.html

The Ella works nicely with the "Django" TVC available at the same place.

I've made a couple of them for relation. They do not need a pre. I pair them with a diy version of a Caroline Audio single driver speaker. [url]http://www.carolinaaudio.com/[/url]. Or you can use something less expensive.

Sincerely
I remain,

I don't know how much an Unison Unico(Version i)will cost but it certainly worth your waiting if it has not touched the American soil. This guy has got bass of a SS and the tube smoothness. I don't think it will break your bank also.
Do check out.

Hey quiet what amp kits have you seen and where? Also check out ecoustics.com for professional and consumer reviews.
