Is 60 amp electrical service enough for high end tube system


Just purchased a new home that has a 60 amp electrical service. Do I need to upgrade to 100 or 200 amp service? How much will this upgrade cost if done by a licensed electrician. I will be running a 200 watt per channel tube amp. Any and all opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I am sure the service is enough for the stereo, but is it enough for the stove and dryer. A lot of electric stoves have 40 - 50 amp circuits and would be a major drain on your service. A good starting point to determine if the service is up to snuff is to determine if the lights dim when turning on various electrical loads. In an old house just printing a page on my laser printer made the lights flicker. I had to get that problem fixed!
