True Black ice gear has the New Fosgste designed circuit and tube bias adjustment meters noticably better and not much more $$
Budget Tube Amp (newbie)
I'm new to tube amps. I need some advice as to a good budget tube amp with good bass that will push my large Advent speakers. Please keep in mind that I don't know anything about tube amps and don't want to pull the trigger until I can get some advice. I'm new to the Forum. Many thanks from an old guy.
Best regards,
Rob

For a new unit within the budget look at the Muzishare X7 its an integrated , made in the same factory as line magnetic. Can get the upgraded cap version for 1100$ roughly listed on amazon and ebay. Pre owned I'd look at a Rogue Cronus magnum less tubes to replace than some of the other units out there. |
@shutupuface, Here's a ST70 from Bob Latino of VTA. It is an updated/upgraded all new ST-70 with an Attenuator so it doesn't need a preamp if you only have one source The attenuator is an option. I have this amp. It replaced a very highly praised SS amp. I used it for years with a SS preamp and it sounded great. Using it with my new CJ CT5 is even better. He also sells a 60wpc at a higher price but still a bargain. You can get these fully assembled or kit form. http://www.tubes4hifi.com/bob.htm#ST70 |
