Inexpensive Tube Amps

Ming Da  afforable tube amps

will62 I think the Eastern Electric Minimax Integrated may be exactly what your looking for. High build quality, excellent sound from a well respected manufacturer reasonably priced at $550.00 from Bill at Morningstar audio. Good luck.

Hi Will,

My friend ordered one of these:

He used it to drive my old speakers which were not particularly efficient.

I was AMAZED at how good it sounded with the stock tubes - and it was plenty loud. It was not far off my Cary...

Point to point wired, and, from the looks of it internally, well done.

As I took the stereo, I am planning on getting one of these for my Ex.

I am also going to do some DIY full range speakers to go with it.

Only drawback I could find with it is its single input.

Good luck!

PS - Same amp on Amazon...

In that price range, I would look for a lghtly used Sophia Electric Baby push-pull integrated, rated at 10wpc and runs in class A. Sounds glorious driving my back-horn loaded single driver speakers. 

So I've been following this thread, not much I can add but good info.  So here is my input and saw this" APPJ "  tube amp on Massdrop for $280..  don't know much about it...
