SUGGEST A TUBE AMP?

For under a grand I would suggest a Conrad-Johnson MV 52. Usually goes for around $800. Try to get the 52 over the 50. The 52 has all polypropalene caps in the power supply.

BTW, I'm a long term S30 owner. If you can get one for around a thousand dollars, go for it, though I'd be a little cautious about why it's priced that low. Typically. it goes for $1800-2500 used.

There is a Conrad Johnson MV-55 (asking $1200) that will give plenty of that magic mids, if that's what your looking for. I don't know anything about the seller.[http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstube&1316552835]

That Atmasphere moved quick. I think this was it. [http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstube&1317421755&/Atma-sphere-S30-Stereo-power-a]
