I have a primaluna PL2. First tube amp purchase and bought unheard. Love it. You can use a a nubmer of different output tubes and pick the sound you like. I started out with KT88. liked it but wanted warmer growly sound so dropped in EL34's/ preamp tubes also make a big difference.

Solid build.

Also have a Vista Audio I84, a EL 84 amp got for a song. Nice very nice not as solid as the Primaluna but sweet sound.

There are many good int amps-Rogue, Mystere (a primaluna sister), CR Developments Kalypso,cayin have good reps.
