After many years' listening to solid states amps, I want to try my first tube integrated amp. It seems Primaluna is the way to go. What else you would recommend except for Primaluna? How much improvement would I expect from a tube integrated? Thanks.
Best way is the Cayin line. Prim and Cayin are in fact made by the same company. check out the full cayin line a cayinusa. Buy used, on 'gon' and get a great value. I have two of their integrates and a pre too. Very satisfied.
If you like or are willing to try vintage gear there is a McIntosh MA230 for sale on Agon for $750 obo and it has a MM phono board as well. It produces 30 watts which would make your 88 to 90db sensitive speakers boogie. You can buy a new cabinet from Audio Classics for about $200. I'd buy it if I had the extra $.
