Getting started w/ tube equipment


I am interested in tubed components and, knowing nothing about them, am wondering what a good place to start is.

Some reference material that might explain advantages/disadvantages to integrated or separate.

What to look for to match components and perhaps some suggestions for a good place to start (brand, model, etc.)

I recognize this is highly subjective based on individual style and preference, rooms, etc. but i need to start somewhere...

Thanks.

A U.S. built integrated - Rogue Audio Cronus - base model using EL34s 55wpc, or Magnum model ($400 more) 90wpc - using KT 90s - easy to bias, musical, well built, excellent customer service. Also, with socket savers you can use KT 88s or KT120s
Set for 8 ohm speakers but you can switch a wire to convert to 4ohm.
