I want to try tubes, need suggestions


I want to go integrated if possible. Heard good things about Cary and Rogue from the perspective of value for money. Price range is 2K. Suggestion for what to look for?

did you compare the Stingray and the Soro?

I am just curious what you thought about the differences.

I owned both too and always presumed the Soro was better but I owned them about 2 years apart - not at the same time.

also fwiw the Stingray is very nice and robust as well..

sorry to hi jack the thread...
If you go with the Rogue suggest going with the Magnum upgrade gives you better parts, moves the amp to 90 wpc -and comes with KT90 tubes and NOS preamp tubes - you can still use EL34s if you like - the power supply and a few other things are better - biasing is a snap.

It depends on what speakers you will be using the amp with. Don't rush into buying unless you have nailed down the speakers.
