vintage tube guys ? Arkay amp?

[juniper8 1]

I am interested in hearing tube amplification and I found this simple little amp. Would this be a good start?

It's a mono amp. For what do you intend to use it?

I just wanted to hear a tube amp and see if it suits my taste. If I can only use one speaker I think it would be fine?

O.K. but don't let that amp be a guide for choosing tube over solid state. A "good" tube amp will be much more impressive.

That makes sense! I figured that if this provides 10% of the 'tube sound" at least I can get some type of understanding as to the differences? If this amp is so bad and won't provide even that maybe I should pass? I have been to Cortland, love the "Townies"!

If you live close by and want to listen to some tube amps, let me know. I'm around most of the time.

I have moved to the midwest, but I appreciate the invite!
