I am looking for opinions/suggestions on tube integrated amplifers(either SE or P/P). My budget is probably US$1-2k (used). It will be used as the amp for a second system to drive efficient speakers or inefficient headphones (though headphone jack not necessary).
I have heard the EAR 859 and liked it quite a bit (though would be happy changing the pot - has anyone done that?). I have heard various Unison Research integrateds and thought they were a bit "soft". I have VTLs in my main system and am happy with the sound.
My suggestion would be a Jolida 302B. It's US $900 NEW, and very musical. I've listened to it and I've been so impressed that it just might find its way in my 2nd system.
