Budget Tube Integrated amp?


I am looking for a budget first timer tube integrated amp. Could anyone give me some advice on which amp should I choose? So far I have several choices, they are: Antique Sound Labs AQ 1003, Jolida SJ 502A and Golden Tube SI 50. They are all runs about $800-$1000. I am using a ProAc Studio 100 with a NAD cd player. Any comments would help a lot. Thanks.

I have the Jolida 302 (which I believe to be a bit more musical than the 502) and am very pleased with it. For the money, it is hard to match the sound. A good tube upgrade from the facory Chinese tubes make a dramatic improvement as well. Hope this helps.
