Recommendation for higher power tube amp
Sorry, but why You need 50-100 W, that You never use, and pay too much money?....Better variant is - speakers with 94 and more sensitivity and quality SE with 4-8 W /that is better than PP with sharp and metal sounding, caused by switching signal ...

What separate tube phono stage do you use ?
E88CC or Russian 6Ф12П. I dont like 12AX7, because it has sharp and metal sound like for guitar amps /people senses it like detail, but its not true/.6Ф12П is penthod /for first stage/ and triod for second /with big current and big mu, like 12AX7/.
