Two tube amps for your consideration please


I am looking at two tube amps for purchase that will be for music only. Pre-pro will be a Denon 988 AVR with a Sony CD 200 CD changer in then pre out to tube amp. I have dedicated 1 of the channels on the AVR for this.
Speakers are B&W 805s.
For consideration is:
Jolida 502a 350.00
Yaqin VK-2100 300.00
Your thoughts are appreciated.
Signal path will be the CD via optical to the AVR (to take advantage of the superior Burr Brown DACs in the AVR) then pre-out to the tube amp then to the speakers.
Thanks

I'd give some consideration to Darkmoebius's suggestion about the Rogu Atlas amp. I have the Rogue Cronus integrated amp as the backbone of my system, and it is indeed a wonderful amplifier. The Atlas shares the same guts as the Cronus, and it has been very well reviewed (do a Google Search) by several audio journals.

Thanks Folks I will look into the Atlas. I never heard of it before but that meens nothing:)
I just did a Google search for “DIY audio amplifiers”, Did some other’s as well but most of these links appeared in the first search.

There was or is a maker of finish it or built up as much as you wish that was popular and presented a great value … although I can no longer recall the whole name… I believe it began with “Van…” as in German, Swiss, austrian, etc. They are a USA enterprise though.

Sorry I can’t be of more help.

So try these if you aim to get the most out of your investment budget…. Or wait a while longer, save some more and do better then.
