My first tube amp! HELP PLEASE!


Hello to everyone in audioland! Well I have decided to get into tubes after being into audio for about 7 years. I want to start with an integrated amp to make things very simple. My price range is 700-1000. So give me some good leads! New or used, classic or modern. It dosen't matter just guide me toward bang for the buck. Thanks

What will work best will be highly dependent on your loudspeakers. You may also need to change your speaker cables to something more revealing. My first all tube amps were a pair of used Quicksilvers. If these are in your price range, they are worth auditioning. Older ones are biased high and could require frequent output tube changes. They are a little sluggish in the bass and a little rolled on top, but when properly interfaced, their midrange has few peers.
