Can this be good first tube amplifier?

I found many people who had never used tube amplifier before but interested in trying it out for warm tube sound.

This one looks nice and appears to be good value.

After tube rolling input 12AT7 tubes, it may sound fine.

If you have the budget - definitely the Line Magnetic would be my choice.

I have the LM219ia, but my second choice is the LM518ia, or the newer LM845ia. I prefer the sound of 845 and 300b tubes in these models.

With the right speakers (efficient), such as the Proac D2’s, the sound is hard to beat.

See all the superb reviews of these.
