Valve/Tube Newbie


Hello All,
Greetings from a relative newbie.
Am looking for suggestions for valve[tube] pre/power amp separates to upgrade my [mainly] vinyl system [Thorens/SME Deck, Spendor S8 Speakers].

Pre-amp clearly will need a phono stage, and a couple of line stages also needed for other sources.
Not fussed about remote control.
Ideally looking for designs of both pre/post with the valves exposed/visible.
Budget is around £5-6K- any suggestions gratefully received..

What solid state amp has tubes to expose ? The OP wants a tube amp with exposed/visible tubes. If I'm missing something please let me know !
Facten, excuse me but did you read his post? Why would he want solid state when he is looking for tube gear. I think you should go back and RE-READ his post ! BTW,I've owned those Spendors and they don't need more than 50 watts.
