About 5 years ago I bought the big Prima Luna Evo 400 integrated amplifier. Within a week I upgraded all the tubes to KT120's and Mullard 12AU7 for the preamp section. Very glad I bought this unit and tubes back then since everything has gone up in price dramatically. I am very happy with sound and durability of this amp. Highly recommend this brand .
Recommendation Tube Integrated
At this juncture (nearly 2024) what are folks' best recommendagtion for a tube integrated amp. Constraints would be $10K (preferrably $5K or less), at least 35 watts per channel. New or used. Goal would be smooth, creamy sound. My current system, which I would consider very good solid state sound, can still be a little ...hard.... to my sensitive ears at times, and I'm thinking a tube option would be nice. Thanks.
