Good beginner tube amp suggestions

thanks folks. i'll get to researching these suggestions today!

fun stuff!

i listen to a lot of classic rock and roll, 50s-60s jazz, and r+b. this system is in my finished basement with low ceilings. i also try not to listen to loud, but sometimes you just have to!

thanks

i just want to say thanks for all the recommendations folks! its been very helpful. perhaps it would be even more helpful if i say that i like warm and lush. are these attributes that can be attributed to the amp?

so i am overwhelmed with the response this thread has gotten. this is a very helpful dialog. i think my jolida source fell through and it was totally in my price range. basically i would rather spend less than 1000 and 500 would be great. i'm thinking used is the way to go as long as i do my homework on the seller. i like the idea of getting the tubes to give the lush sound. if i get an integrated am i spending more? would i need one even though i have the Bellari? should i keep the Bellari no matter what? i've noticed most amps do not have headphone jacks. am i even close to learning anything?

thanks folks!
