New or used tube amp for $1,200


I'm considering Jolida 502p but was wondering if a used amp would be a better choice. I see that PrimaLuna and others (all used) are in this price range. I know nothing about tubes and noticed PrimaLuna is auto biasing. Is that useful? The rest of the system: JM Labs Daline 3.1, Jolida 5t preamp, Moon 100d Dac and Airport Express. Thanks very much for any advice.

At that price point you can get a NEW great sounding amp from Jim Nicholls at JWN amps. All his amps are autobiasing and accept virtually and type power tube. I seriously doubt you'll do any better used
Jim backs all his work with a liftime warranty and provides incredible value for the money, here's a review of one of his amps from Lynn olson at Positive Feedback Online http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue58/jwn.htm his amps play with the big boys
Don't know what happened, here's the link
