Tube amps under $7500


Ready to experiment with combinations never before (or not recently) tried. Step one requires a tube amp. Now looking at Prima Luna EVO 400 which sells for 5K. Any other tube amps I should consider in this price/feature range? Must come in silver with balanced input. For pairing experimentally with various tube and SS preamps. Efficient 4 ohm Legacy speakers (and the room/setup) are the constants.

My experiences with Tube Amp's both Pre and Power is that they are bettered in their  End Sound when seated upon a Isolated Plinth.

After numerous trials with materials as a Base Board and Footers, the one which to date has made the biggest impression at Tidying up the Sonic being produced, is a Phenolic Resin Impregnated Densified Wood Board, with Audio Technica AT 616 Footers.

A board ss the one suggested is not too difficult to acquire. I am also confident Footers can be found to be equivalent in performance to the 616.

I strongly suggest a support for the Tube Amp is given consideration.
