So for a compact yet good sounding tube integrated under $1000, I wonder what people would recommend. The ones I’ve heard and liked are Jolida FX10 and GLOW audio Amp 1. The GLOW sounded as good as anything I thought at Capital Audio Fest a couple years back and is all hand wired which appeals to me. I heard the Jolida a year or two prior at CAF and was impressed with how well it did with a pair of small Nola Boxer monitors. Visually its kinda like a poor man's VAC Phi Beta which is quite the piece of eye candy.
Tube Integrated Amp - Help Please
Recently sold my hybrid Rogue Integrated and am now looking for a used tube integrated. I'm using Verity Audio Tamino X2 speakers - 89db (and told by Verity that these speakers are easy to drive and do well with Tube amplification). I listen to different genres but I love the soulful sound of a female jazz singer and classical music featuring the cello (looking for a warm midrange I suppose). I have a small room 15x14 (ugh) and listen at fairly moderate levels. Other gear includes a Hegel HD25dac and a Clearaudio Concept TT (Dynavector 10x5 cartridge). I'll probably buy a separate phono stage so the new Integrated amp does not have to include phono.
My ear gravitates toward a lush warm sound, nice extended highs and tight bass. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My budget is $4000 and under. Thanks
Considering Rogers EHF-100 MK2 (no local dealers) or Line Magnetic (dealer is about an hour away). If keeping things a little cheaper on the budget, I thought the Sound Antique AQ1001 Mark II DT or the Rogue Cronus Magnum may fit the bill.
