There are other tube based amps around that will give you the quality for less. One of such is Almarro 318B, which you can hit used, if you quick enough, for a nice price. Just check some info online about their products. I have an Ausie friend who owns one and he is very impressed, however I never tried any of Almarro amps myself, so, take it like it is. Also, from trusty source, I heard a lot of good things about Almarro 205 model, but if you get that quality as from 318B, dont think so, however for that money that they are selling used, you just dont risk much, cos Almarro amps re-sell easy as you can put them on.
You should be aware of the fact that tubes getting hot and there for amps need extra space.
What ever you will choose it still be kind of risky, cos you cant try them before purchase, thats why reading the feedbacks from users are much important, but like I said, Cary and Almarro arent just brands, these are one of the best in the industry.
