Best tube integrated under 1500 new or used

I am using a MingDa 300B-4T and it is actually pretty good. I guess with mod such as power supply, coupling cap and other upgrades then it will sound even better. The one I have is 100% stock.

What other tube integrate amps you think offer great values for under 1500 usd new or used?

For a couple hundred more the Rogue Audio Cronus is a very fine amp made in the USA. It beats anything made in China.

I have no clue.

I just wanted to revive this thread that has been dead for a few years. Lots of things have happened in this area since 2006 I think.

I've owned the PrimaLuna's, the Cayin's, and far and away the best integrated going for my money is the Yaqin MS300B integrated. Breathtaking 300B tube performance at a cost that doesn't break the bank, and it will even drive an electrostat to more than satisfying levels in a moderate sized room with 9 watts. Trust me, I'd not have believed it possible either until I sampled it on my former CLS's. Very nice integrated and a giant killer for sure.
