When I decided I wanted to get my feet wet with a tube integrated I was looking for the best bang for my buck. I went with a Jolida Fusion 6802 on close out from Walter. I like it a lot but that’s coming from a guy that had only had receivers in the past running a pair of Canton Karat 930 bookshelf speakers from ‘93.
Without question tubes are for me. Within the 2 years I’ve had the Jolida, I’ve gotten a hold of a set of PSB Imagine T speakers(not the best but better than the Cantons), MHDT Orchid DAC (For CD Transport) and still waiting for my Decware phono stage. After I receive the Phono Stage, a much better pair of speakers will be next. I then will evaluate where I go with the amp.
I guess what I’m saying is it’s been a learning experience and may be one for you. So don’t hesitate to buy a Prima Luna and enjoy the journey.
