Value Integrated Tube Amps

Rogue Cronus Magnum II used = $1.5k done.

Seems I can find a used something <$2K

Sure you can, but it won’t sound nearly as good.  BTW, Chronus Magnum II is a great suggestion. 

For just a bit more ($2,895) and new, the Cronus Magnum 3 looks like a sweet upgrade from the 2. The CM3 can operate in Triode mode, using an external switch selects between ultra linear (100WPC) and triode (60WPC) operation on the fly.  Plus the CM3 has a new phono section that can accommodate low output cartridges - adjustable loading and selectable gain (44 dB or 58 dB). I haven't heard it yet but it seems like a lot of value at this price point for an integrated.
