I'm looking to purchase a tube amp after about four year or so hiatus. My budget is small about $450-$500, so I need to go the used route, and I've narrowed my choices down to three. Jolida 202a. Cayin TA-30, and Vista i84. I'm familiar with the sound of the 202a, but I've never head the Cayin of Vista. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.

The amp will be used for serious listening and for swapping in and out with my SS amp.

Dont know much about the Cayin even though they have some great reviews but I never actually got a chance to listen to a Cayin but with the Jolida brand you CAN'T go wrong.  I have the 1000RC model and I am extremely please and happy with but thats just me.
