In Reply to: RE: Is there such a thing as a value priced 300B Integrated ? posted by AbeCollins on December 19, 2014 at 21:31:25
One 300B tube in SET - say 4-10W, with most mfrs in the 8-9W range. Different operating points and OPTs will give you different power out-distortion trade-offs. Double the power out for parallel SET.
There are not too many integrated 300B SET amps out there. Look at Triode Corp. from Japan. There are many chinese amps in your price range, but I can't add (or contradict) anything that hasn't already been said.
If you want good value in a 300B PP amp (22W), look at the Audiogon URL below and ask RGA what he knows. He's in China, now< and may have some good suggestions about amps made there that will fit your budget.
Observe, before you think. Think before you open your yap. Act on the basis of experience.

Commonsenseaudio.com sells an integrated 300B amp for $1550. I've never heard or seen one in person, so this is just a suggestion, not an endorsement.
Aren't transistors alien technology?
Yes, speak with David Dicks over at Commonsense Audio. I was interested in that amp and spoke to him about it a couple of times. I have no idea how good it really is, but if it's as good as he says it is, it's the bargain of the millennium.You might also look at this thread that I started over on Audiogon. Lots of good info on SET amps in general there...
I eventually decided to build an Audio Note Kit 1. It's not a "bargain" amp in the sense of being cheap, but I'm enjoying building it and it's supposed to sound pretty glorious. I'm blogging the build process at http://www.stevefolberg.com , if you're interested.

It was the thought that counts. Thanks!
