Can someone suggest a lush tube integrated under $3000 used


My main system it’s solid state preamp and amp. I’ll through in a tube preamp on occasions. Somedays I just miss the lush involving syrupy tube sound with small jazz and blues recordings. I know highs may be rolled off,  not a lot of slam but can be so involving you lose track of time. This amp will be matched with some Joseph Audio first gen Pulsar, LSA 2 statement tower with ribbon tweeter and some Tiny Dancers. 

I’ve heard good things of the Cary, Ayon, maybe an old Conrad Johnson cav 50, I just don’t have much experience with integrated amps. My speakers aren’t the most efficient.

Used Rogue Cronus Magnum II can be had around 18k$.

Altec A7 was drivne by  Rogue Cronus Magnum II fitted with Telefuken 12ax7 and Amperex 12Au7 which will cost 400-500 more for Nos tubes.

You judge the sound yourself.
