Don't make the mistake I made with a Jolida 302B in my first venture into tube land. There are better tubed integrateds out there. What I would purchase instead is a Rogue Cronus or CJ CAV50 (previously owned of course). These are much better choices for about the same amount of money.
Integrated Tube Amplifier for First Timer?
Hi gang,
Been researching, and need some final direction...Speakers are high efficiency coaxial horns....
Looking to put a toe in the water before I make a bigger investment, so which do you believe would give the best impression of tubes on a budget (under $1,500 new):
Jolida 302RC
Cayin T-50 or equivalent (There's seems to be a number of amplifers that use this Spark chassis under varying name brands)
Other similar?
I would like to keep the power at 30/wpc minimum (large room, listening tastes and habits)...
Thanks!
