Suggest a tube integrated for me . .


I am looking to spend around $1,200 - $1,500 on a new or used integrated tube amp. Any suggestions. Hybrid or strait tube. Thanks.

I am happy with the ASL AQ1001DT with stock tubes. I will upgrade the input tubes later on. But for the price it gives the best attributes to solid state and tubes.
How big is your room? What kind of music do you listen to? Do you need a phono stage built in? Is a remote a must have?
My listenig room is 22 x 16. I listen to a wide varitey of music, blues, jazz, R n R. I have a pair of Paradigm studio 60 speakers. No phono stage required.
Audio Research and Conrad Johnson both make great low powered integrated amps. Add a powered sub.

I am using a Prima Luna Prologue Two integrated tube amp ($1345 list) in a 15 X 10 X 8.5 room with Omega Super 3 high efficiency monitors (95 db sensitivity). I am also using a Prima Luna Prologue Five power amp ($1295) in a 25 X 15 X 8.5 room with Acoustic Research 302 large bookshelf/floorstanders (85db sensitivity).

I hadn't owned a tube amp in 34 years (had a Philco tube amp in high school) and I am very impressed with how musical sounding the Prima Lunas are. Plenty of power, excellent sound range, and just plain enjoyable.

They are sold by Upscale Audio .
