RE: seeking first tube amplifier advice

Posted by Eli Duttman on October 12, 2020 at 02:04:31:
1st, get your "vinyl" listening going again, quickly. Jim Hagerman's Bugle3 will, while sounding good, affordably do that for you and it will be synergistic with a tubed "integrated" amp you then acquire, at relative leisure.

The intersection of tubed desires and budget realities is DIY. There are any number of DIY possibilities available that will leave cash on the table to buy music "software". All you need in the way of instrumentation to construct the "El Cheapo" I'm associated with is a digital multi-meter (DMM). Plenty of "hand holding" is available here at AA, on the Tube DIY "board" and elsewhere on the WWW.
