Good suggestions above. I'd strongly consider the Audio Note Kit 300b SET with the upgraded double C core output transformers. You can have it built by Digital Pete if you don't want to build it yourself. Roxy54 has this amplifier and says its excellent sounding. His was built by Pete. The VAC REN 30/30 is a very good amp but is push pull. It will be a bit different from a SET presentation. Not saying better or worse but a different sound presentation. Just depends on what you're looking for. In your price range you have many good choices.
