First time tube integrated buy
I'll make you a deal on a pristine Vincent SV-500. Tubes in the preamp. Solid State in the output. The best of both worlds. It has plenty of power for what you're looking for. (I'm only selling it because I upgraded to the top of the line Vincent.... 
Mid-fi integrated tube amp advice
I have a Vincent SV-500 that I'd do a good deal for you if you have any interest. I just upgraded to a larger Vincent. I would put the SV-500 against any integrated costing two to three times its cost. There are tubes in the preamp section and I h... 
Vincent SV-236MK
Well, I answered my own question. I purchased the SV-237MK! The SV-237MK is an improvement in bass & bloom, and the remote volume control has been corrected. I have to say that even though I love the new amp, it just shows how good the SV-500 ...

Does anyone have experience with the Vincent SV-500 integrated? I absolutely love mine, but I've just come down with upgradeitis. I'm considering the SV-237MK. I don't need the extra power, but I thinking newer-more expensive..."It must be better....

Just curious, does anyone else have the experience of saying to yourself, "just one more song" and before you know it, an hour has passed by? I always find it hard to put my DIs to sleep. :o)

My two cents gentlemen,My DIs are FIVE INCHES from the front wall! Is it ideal? No, but I am very happy with the sound I'm getting. The base is not flabby, or boomy, at all. In fact, I sometimes wish I had a little more bass (Usually from poor rec... 
Tube Amp Pricing
Thanks for the responses guys. It has been enlightening. Competition being what it is, I kind of figured pricing was where it should be.

Since we are talking about amps, I have to chime in; I just installed a hybrid tube integrated amp (Victor SV-500). I had been using a flagship Denon receiver (AVR-5700). I believed that a $3000 receiver that got rave reviews for sound would be en...

Thanks for the post Bullitt. Entertaining for sure. (And just another confirmation that I made the correct decision purchasing my DIs...not that I needed confirmation.)
