Budget Tube Amp (newbie)

So if I  understand you correctly, are you  saying that the RM10 is much better than the Cronus Magnum?Thanks, alot for your imput!
Best regards,
Rob

In the tube friendly setups I've had without a doubt.  I found the Cronus ballsy but unrefined and not quite 20/20 vision in comparison.  Perhaps for the Advents the Cronus would be the ticket - it's a tricky sport good luck out there   

Never heard the RM10 but really enjoy el84's! 35 is a lot of watts to ask of those little tubes - really cool! 

The RM10 gets rave reviews, but it is a power amp so you will need a preamp. A passive may work, but if not you’ll need to add an active preamp. In both scenarios you’ll also need to audition and purchase interconnects.
For your first foray into tubes, I suggest you go for an integrated. As far as unrefined sound goes, that can usually be treated by rolling in different tubes.

Have you looked at a used PrimaLuna? They present the warmth that you liked from the Dynaco.

Second for good value with Jolida/Black Ice. I have Jolida separates and they sound great and were an excellent value. I also have an older Jolida integrated amp but it needs some relatively expensive repairs so it sits in my basement.
