No Budget Amp?


I am an audiophile, but I have almost no money to throw around. What is a good peice of used gear that can hold me over untill I get enough money for somthing nice. I am running it with analysis plus cables, a Njoe Tjoeb 4000 cdp and a foreplay pre. I am not sure on speakers, but going without music is unacceptable, so I have to get somthing now.

Thanks

If you would like to try tubes, the jolida 102b is even a bargain new at $750.00. Used, you can find one for around 500ish. If you just want an amp, how about the Antique Sound Lab WAVE monos? Aren't they just $300 a pair? I know it's all relative, but, for me, the best "budget" amp I've heard is a Rogue 88. They go for about 750 here on the 'gon for the non-magnum version.

BUT, Unsound is right: if you have 86db speakers, tube gear'll be a little outta your range.
