Good beginner tube amp suggestions

currently i have a music hall 2.1 with grado gold cartridge run through a bellari vp129 through an nakamichi amp. i am using old paradigm mini monitors. i'd liek to upgrade, but i am a student with a limited income. i know there is something out there i can at least shoot for. suggestions much appreciated!

I would look at that dynaco st70 rebuilt by Ray Vincent price looks good and the work performed looks quite nice as well.

also check out Mingda M7R or something like that
it cost around $700 .Nice piece for the money.
Ohh ya ,it is an integrated amp. It could work for you.
I 2nd or 3th Prima Luna , Rogue and Jolida as a good beginer's choice.

anything from Cayin, new or used. Great sound, value and resale value.

i just want to say thanks for all the recommendations folks! its been very helpful. perhaps it would be even more helpful if i say that i like warm and lush. are these attributes that can be attributed to the amp?
