Desktop Tubes


Not sure where to post this.

I’m feeling restless and want to redo my desktop setup. What do you recommend in the way of tubes and speakers? I’m thinking of the elusive audiophile bargain (so likely used). I’m intrigued by the Tecon “55,” Miniwatt, Glow Amp One or Jolida FX10. Would be happy with a well regarded kit or modding. At the moment I need an amp to plug my iPod into but I like the future flexibility of a built-in DAC. I have spare speakers so I just need thoughts on what people recommend to go with the amp – again I wouldn’t mind a project building something.

The Maverick looks really interesting but I'm looking for an amp to drive speakers. The Jolida is certainly a possibility. Are there any reviews comparing it to the Tecon 55 or Glow One? My take on reading the reviews on the Glow One is that it really should be better than it is.

Has anyone tried the Tecon "55?" And any other speakers anyone really likes at a price somewhat at the same level as the amp?
