Is there any way to get into tubes for super cheap


I have now been bitten by the bug. I will slowly build a system for music and theater, but have been hearing all kinds of praise for the tube world.
To be honest I have never in my life heard a tube system and until recently thought that onkyo and carver were the best in audio.
What is a good way to get started with a tube system?
What pieces are needed to really be able to make a good judgement?
I have no TT and usually listen to cds, Is there any hope for me?
I think I would like to do this pretty much all vintage, for me that is 10 years or older.
I don't think that cheap can be overstated in this case.

Antique Sound Labs has the successor components to the old wave amps. Now, there up to 20 wpc as monoblocks with an accompanying pre-amp. The total cost for all three chassis is under around $700, I think.
Try this gentleman:

Built to order, under $1000. Saw some of his work at the GPAF, I'm going to order one of the Akido 2A3's soon.

Plus, he and his wife are very cool!

I bought a Conrad Johnson PV-5 with an ARC VT-60,after being away from tubes for 20 years and I'm glad I did.
I'm never turning back again,and I'm back into spinning LP's once more.Once u taste it your hooked!
Pathos or AES also very reasonable, and Wright Sound. Even audio experience. AES should give you a triode sound, where as Jolida's are class A/B minimax in their more reasonable incarnations.
