Tube amp for falcon ls35a gold badge

to @charles1dad ’s point, looks like op is looking at lower end ’value’ tube amps (which can sound quite nice, so no value judgement on that)

if this is the course needed, i would strongly suggest buying a jolida/black ice from wally or from a reputable us-based retailer - it is a china sourced amp but at least wally will stand behind it

issue with direct-buy chi-fi tube amps of course is the lack of stateside service and followup if needed, and the fact that this is not a 5 pound dac that can be easily reshipped in a little box to address any issues arising

...that willsenton r8 bought on ebay is a wonderful, screaming deal... until something isn't right and you need help... :)

Maybe throw Leben into the mix as well, and one other I would recommend and have listened to, but will probably get pooh-poohed, is the hybrid Croft Acoustics phono integrated. FWIW...

I heard a leak 230 with the ls35a at Axpona and it was fantastic. I think it’s SS. 
I have the Q7 which is a slightly bigger cabinet and I use the Rogue Cm2. Really like the combination but using kt120s. Will try the el 34. 
 

I had primaluna prologue 2 and loved it. The dialog series has too many tubes and is costly to replace but I hear great things about them and Raven audio.

all the best with your search. I’m interested in what you learn. My taste in music is very similar to yours.
