Quality tube amp below $1k?

I am already the owner of a jolida 302b. A much loved used model, but old. I am in the market for something comparable for about the same price. Jolida.net has a 303 model which is not a major sonic improvement over the 302BRC for $799 shipped. That seems like a great deal. Am I correct? Or are there alternatives in that price range? I shop now and then on here and rarely see anything similar to that but perhaps I'm overlooking something. Thoughts?

Are you considering new only, or is used OK. There is a ton of great stuff available for under $1K.

Can you be more specific re: your requirements: power amp only or integrated? Integrated phoino stage or no? PP or SET? Power rating? Remote?

Integrated. Tube. I listen to rock mostly. I'm open to used for sure. Thanks.

What is everyone's opinion of Dared? The 130 is in my price range. 20 WPC less than what I've currently got.

check out Grant Fidelity A-328 amp. And they are having a Christmas sale right now!

I thought the Dared amps I've owned were very good for the money. The 2A3 SET that puts out 8W could power 90 dB/W speakers respectably.
