Tube integrated amps

HI,

Don't know anything about tube integrated amps but want to learn.

Where are some good resources?

Want to give one a try in a second system that has Dynaudio 1.3SE speakers. Don't want to spend more than 2300 used or 4K new.

You might want to consider the Manley StringRay, as it is a great little tube integrated. I have one in my second system and it's great!. If you vinyl you will need a phono amp, I'm trying the MF XLPs and it sounds pretty good.

I am using an EAR 859 integrated amp. They occasionally appear on the used market for approximately 2K.

I'm going to guess that the Dynaudio 1.3SE are at least 89db effecient, and if so Melody I2A3 got a great write up by Ebaan at 6moons, enough so that I'll eventually give that a try myself.

If you like a sound that is fast, transparent, w/ excellent PRAT, tone & timbre than the Audo Zone AMP 1 gaincard is excellent choice...- but only 1 input.

A lot of nice integrated's in that price range, good luck.
