Hello!! Looking to get into the tube area of life.
So, I was going to jump in and build a Tu-8600s, then I thought about a few different builds.
So, I’m looking for suggestions for tube amps that are inexpensive, and have decent sound. Something I can tube roll, and if I get board or it warrants it, I would have no problem upgrading the caps, resistors, transformers, really anything.
Id like a little project basically. But again, something that’s not starting at 1800 for the parts with no tubes. I would be into someone’s project they did not finish of anyone has one..
Was looking on EBay and Amazon for inexpensive units, and they are filled. I bow down to all of you, or any of you whom have more knowledge and can point to some directions.
I don’t have a Pre-amp other then my Denon AVR which had a pre amp mode. I would be looking to purchase a Dac/preamp combo as well (maybe gustard x16 if it has pre amp ability have to look) again very open to suggestions to get me a cheep and cheerful tube amp!!
Must be cheerful!
