Budget Tube Amp (newbie)

For a new unit within the budget look at the Muzishare X7 its an integrated , made in the same factory as line magnetic. Can get the upgraded cap version for 1100$ roughly listed on amazon and ebay. 

Pre owned I'd look at a Rogue Cronus magnum less tubes to replace than some of the other units out there. 

Read thru this thread and didn't see this anywhere so I thought I'd add my 2c. Old tube amps like the Dynaco generally sound more "syrupy" and warm than good modern tube power amps

If properly refurbished this is not the case.

@shutupuface, Here's a ST70 from Bob Latino  of VTA. It is an updated/upgraded all new ST-70 with an Attenuator  so it doesn't need a preamp if you only have one source The attenuator is an option. I have this amp. It replaced a very highly praised SS amp. I used it for years with a SS preamp and it sounded great. Using it with my new CJ CT5 is even better. He also sells a 60wpc at a higher price but still a bargain. You can get these fully assembled or kit form.
