Inexpensive Tube Amps
wolf.  My budget is for a Honda Civic and you keep trying to sell me on a Acura.  The fact that you've never even heard this amp lends less credibility to your suggestions which are too expensive for me at this time.  At one time I probably could ... 
Inexpensive Tube Amps
I was quite clear about what I wanted.  Why people are pushing me off in another direction is a problem.  Yes, a problem especially if they are trying to get me to spend money I don't have to spend right now.  If I wanted to get opinions about oth... 
Morrow IC's
213runnin.  I've learned to own more than one kind of IC's for this very reason.  What sounds good with one component may not work as well with another.   I will be ordering another pair of Morrow IC's later in the year once I determine which pair...

I should mention that the TubeCube7 drives my Mirage OM 10 towers just fine.  Six ohm and 91 db sensitivity. I gets more than loud enough to hear in 30 feet away or two rooms away from the living room. The 8 ohm Castles don't work well with it.  T...

Fortunately I have a good repair shop in the area.  Already have used them for a couple of things.  At some point I may spend a bit more on a tube amp if the Yamaha A500 bites the dust.  But will worry about that if the time comes.

I appreciate the additional and more supportive feedback on this subject.  Simply put I have a finite amount of dollars to work with and a budget to stick to.  I've got so many other projects that consume money and time and also other things to bu... 
New cd player needed
Procured a onkyo d'x 702 circa 1991.  Need a dac for it.  What units that cost less than $250 will sound good? 
Morrow IC's
lee maze.  sorry for the late reply.  Been very busy with numerous things and tied up with a few more diseased minds like fsonicsmith on a separate thread about cheap tube amps from China.The Morrow cable is far better than the Nevergreen from AQ.... 
Inexpensive Tube Amps
addyson.  You are delusional.  I wanted feedback from people that had experience with the units mentioned.  Here is the OP:Anyone have any experience with the following?  I want to try one just to see how the sound compares to my Yamaha and Denon ... 
Inexpensive Tube Amps
Tubegroover. My initial query was straight and to the point. I wanted to know about the three amps that I linked to. I don’t see any other request for additional information about any other amps.Over the years I've found this board to have some kn... 
Inexpensive Tube Amps
What I think most of you fail to grasp is that I have a limited budget for this.  If I had wanted to hear about alternatives then I would have asked specifically for advice or information about other brands or models.  I already did preliminary re... 
Inexpensive Tube Amps
kalali. Thanks. Yeah, I am leaning towards what you suggested. The tubes are excellent from what I’ve read and they are easy to roll if necessary. My A3 did drive my OM 10’s very well. They are 6 ohm and 91 db sensitivity. The Castle Conway 3’s we... 
Inexpensive Tube Amps
tubegroover.  Most likely I will buy from Amazon.  Or perhaps the Paradise model which is also a North American based company.Again, those prices would be considerably higher if the products were manufactured here.  Since the companies in China ar... 
Inexpensive Tube Amps
addyson815.  I thought the point behind forums such as this was to exchange ideas and gain information?  Precisely why I posted.  Boards like this would not exist if everyone just went out and tried a component without asking other people for some... 
Inexpensive Tube Amps
Thanks.  I am fortunate that I can even consider buying a new amp this year what with all the other projects that I have to spend money on.  Yes, I can save for something and that may happen if I determine I would be better off spending more.  But...
