Thank you everyone Great info !
Need help ! Looking for a low cost integrated tube amp for my office
Looking to upgrade my office system
Music playing through my computer to an Audio engine D1 DAC
At present an old NAD receiver playing to four Vienna acoustics Haydn Grand book shelf speakers and a velodyne sub
Thought I would try my first experience with a tube integrated amp
Any suggestions ?

If your NAD has “pre in” jacks, I’d get a Schiit Freya+ preamp and get my tube experience that way and upgrade amp later if you want. Or a used Freya and Vidar would be a nice pairing for not much $. For an integrated you’re probably best off with a hybrid like a used Rogue Sphinx, Peachtree, etc. Best of luck. |
If low cost is what you are looking for Steve Guttenberg did a review of this inexpensive tube amp https://youtu.be/vCk12xzivp8 |
Using a tube amp with 2 pairs of 4 ohm speakers is not an option! Specifications

I'm using a Mystere IA-11 integrated amp w/ 40 wpc. It is meticulously built by sister company Primaluna and is on sale at Up Scale Audio. It uses high quality parts and even a ladder resistor volume control instead of a potentiometer. Sound is clean and articulate w/ tight bass, tubey midrange, and extended highs. http://www.mystere-eu.com/usermanuals/mystere_manual_ia11.pdf |
