I started with the Primaluna PL2. Moved to a Decware Mini Torii using the same speakers (Ref 3A de Capos). Can't play as loud but loud enough and a very sweet sound. It's a single ended pentode design.
SET amps
What tubes are a good balance of great intimate sound and budget? Any suggestions for amp kits and builders? $1500 budget Or so. Any options?

There is an audiophile who keeps a blog called Glow in the Dark Audio. He has written reviews of many different affordable set amps. You might want to check it out. http://www.glowinthedarkaudio.com/amps.html |
Make sure you have speakers of sufficient efficiency! If you really want to get the most out of your amp, the speaker should be sufficiently efficient such that the amp is never pushed past 20-25% of full power. This will allow the distortion of the amp to be very low; the source of their 'inner detail'. |
