Entry Level Tube Integrated Amps


I’d like to dip my toe into the tube world. Does anyone have experience, or have listened to, an LSA-70T or a Willsenton R300 tube integrated amp? Thanks in advance for your opinion(s)!

The Dynaco Stereo 70.

I built one from a kit when I was 14 years old. I used it for 12 years before switching to a pair of Dyna MK IIIs, then a larger Hafler. I cannot say the latter two were improvements. I now use a pair of NYAL Futtermans OTL3s.

The simple design has stood the test of time. There are now many excellent mods of it available for $800 - $2,000 range.

imho one of the all time classics - David Hafler was brilliant - and still a good amp esp for the money.

However.

It’s not integrated. The Dyna PAS preamp has also been souped up by current engineers/hobbyists. Pair them together for a classic look and sound.
