I am a big fan of the new Jolida gear. I have an old Jolida tube DAC and it is as good as the new Schiit DAC to which I compared it. Jolida's work on high end gear has trickled down to their lower-end gear. Musical Paradise has a well-reviewed tube integrated amp for not much money.
Tube integrated amp under $1000
Getting close to taking a plunge on a small tube integrated amp preferably under $1000. Open for suggestions. Small size and WAF matters. The two leading contenders I have actually heard are Glow Audio Amp 1 and Jolida fx10.
Only knock I know of against either is Jolida runs hot and can shorten lifespan. How has that turned out for owners?
Will run 90db small monitors initially and needs a headphone Jack as well. Ability to drive lower impedance headphones like Sennheiser Momentum without noise or hum desired.
