If your friend can find one, I highly recommend a Cayin A-88T, first generation (not MK II or MK III). An audio person I trust told me that if I ever found one, to grab it. I found one in mint condition for $900. It's a tank and I love the sound. One downside, it's a bit difficult to to bias the tubes.
Integrated tube amp under $1000 / $2000
Recently a friend asked me which tube amp he could get used for $1000, I replied that maybe for $2000 he could get something decent but honestly I have no idea what to answer. As a matter of fact I told him for a 1000 he might better get SS than tubes. I have Atmasphere MA-1s myself.
Can anyone provide some constructive advice of decent tube amps with acceptable quality for $1k (or up to $2k) to drive Klipsch speakers, trying to find out the exact model, I think he has Cornwalls.
Thank you in advance.
