Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k


I wanted to see if there were any group suggestions for an integrated tube amp or tube / solid-state combo under 10k or, even better, under 6k. Still looking for my final purchase in this part of my system.  Thanks everyone.

Before dropping your Prima Luna I suggest that you try some tube rolling. For example  vintage British tubes will dramatically change the PL.

Any suggestions of the specific tubes that you might think would make a positive difference?

I know we all post about what we have used. My tube background isn't that extensive but I've had the Rogers 65v-2, I still own the LTA Z40+ integrated and now I also own the Don Sachs Valhalla. The Valhalla is about 33 watts and is really really nice. This is made now by someone Don taught to make it and has a decent warranty. If it interests you at all, I can link up the site that describes it and put you in touch with the guy who makes them now. 

I thoroughly enjoy my Cary Audio SLI-100 with Klipsch Forte IV’s, Innuos Zen Mk3 and Merason Frerot DAC.

Thanks for sharing that.  The Valhalla looks intriguing and I'm bookmarking the site.  It could be a key one for me up ahead as I slowly move to make some decisions on equipment additions in the coming year. 👍
