Goodtube integrated


Looking to try a tube integrated in my system in $2k or so range. Sony5400es, Ohm Walsh 100s3, CA 740cdp,anti cables. Thinking Rogue, Cayin, primaluna? BTW live in HI so all will be unheard before buying. Listen to jazz,rock,acoustic guitars lots of female vocalists like Krall, Rondsdtadt, Billie Holiday, Joni Mitchell etc.

"That's got to be extremely frustrating and is something that would never happen with the likes of Rogue, Cary or Manley."

Maybe not Rogue or Manley, but I heard Cary changed hands (or something similar) and its not the company it once was.
Zd542 - Dennis Had is no longer in charge of Cary but my service experience since he left has been excellent. What has been your direct experience with the company?
Have PrimaLuna and Cayin tube gear. Can recommend both very highly.

Manley gear is very highly rated, as is Rogue.

Never had issues with my Cayin A88T integrated. Bought it used four years ago and still going strong.

PrimaLuna may be the best bang for your buck.
I would highly recommend the PrimaLuna line - I use a Dialogue 2 myself. I prefer it with EL34's rather than the KT88s.
Rogue Audio Cronus ... after five and a half years, mine sounds better than ever. It is truly a wonderful amplifier, and the company is a pleasure to deal with. When you call Rogue at their Pennsylvania headquarters, chances are that Mark O'Brien himself will answer the phone, and give you all the answers and good advice that you need.
