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

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.

luck.
Also consider the Jolida 801A. About the same cost and can use 6550's or KT-88's. It also has great upgrade potential.
I'd ask myself, what am I really trying to get out of this tube power amp? I don't believe that with the line up of hardware that you currently have, that surrounding any tube amp at the price point that you are comfortable with is gonna do much for you. I'd start with your cd player and pick up a Rotel 990 or 991, ....$400 bucks tops, then a good old solid state power amp, B&K 442 comes to mind, $450..... and then finally a Luxman C1000 or C 1010 Pre....... $400. When you hook up a system such as this you will get warmth and detail that you have never thought possible for the price point of 12 maybe 13 hundred bucks. It will be interesting to hear the progression of sound as you grow that system. Use the rest of your items for that surround sound system.
Any one of these items is gonna help you a lot. I'm all for tube power amps but buy one when the bucks are more plentiful.
