Re: I wanna tube! Please advise

Hello,
If you want the tube sound and are on a budget you should get a vintage Eico integrated amp with a tube rectifier. Most newer products in your price range use solid state rectifiers and nothing is ever overbuilt. With the Eico you will have quality OPT's, tubes and a nice chassis.

To sum it up. Don't bother with newer "budget" kits. You will not get that tube sound you are interested in. I've been there already. The expensive stuff is good, but its expensive :-) Otherwise, DIY and make a SET combo, but you said you are short on extra time. I'd get the Eico!

Good Luck,
-Mark
