Help with a first tube amp Please

I am looking to buy an amp.I have never heard a tube amp but I keep reading all the rave.Right now I have a Mac1900,Sansui Tu and Au 7900 and a couple Luxman recievers, all powering speakers as Sansui SP 1200, H H Scott from 1964 and ADS and a pair of newly purchased Magnepan mg2 for 75.00, that was a deal. I have a budget of up to 1000.00 tops.I don't think I want a Ying Yang amp from Ebay and I can't buy a vintage MC 275 either.I wiould like to buy an integrated amp to start with.Well thanks for your help from Rochester,Mn.

Please, first listen to a couple of tube amps before you make an investment. Folks rave about sushi, but nobody knows if they like it until they try it. Likewise, after you’ve experienced the unique contribution to the reproduction of music that tubes can offer, then the advice of others will be worthwhile. At the least, I recommend that you listen to one modern and one vintage tube amp. Good luck.
