NOSValves Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Great bang for the buck and very affordable way to dive into tubes without the hassle and expense of sourcing a nice vintage amplifier and having it serviced or servicing it yourself. But one has to realize with all this entry level off shore made gear you are getting exactly what you pay for.... It sounds decent but can never get you all the way there in tubes.....not even close.

SonicSeeker Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 I really dont have a clue when it comes to tubes. I am going to be driving a pair of belle's and do not want to have my first experience with tubes to be half a__ed. What do you recommend, mind you I cant spend alot.

finallygotmyheresies Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I bought my first tube amp from Dave Harris and it was a Dared VP-20. Getting a used Dared amp allowed me to experience tube amps for relatively little cost and risk. I added the Dared SL2000 preamp later. All pieces were very solid looked nice as well. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few questions 1) What type of music will you be listening too? 2) How large is the room? 3) How loud do you think you would listen maximum. Like lower background, conversation level, mildly loud and blast concert levels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicSeeker Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Just sent you a pm. I like to here detail at low listining levels but when the family is out I tend to listen to things a little bit cranked up. Room Size 12' x 16' with cathedral ceilings and open to kichen dining room. Type of music everything...... I love well done music of most any genre.

cyto Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I have been using a Yaqin MS-20L integrated amp with Heresy IIs for about 2 years and am very happy with it. I have not heard the Dared so i could not compare. The Dared does look nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I think if you look around you can find some great deals. What is your budget, If he still has it Gothover had a Dynaco st-35 for sale at a great price. Maybe contact him, it was kit he assembled with new parts so it was like new(I think).

derrickdj1 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I use the Yaqin VK 2100 integrated which has tubes in the preamp section and SS in the rear. It definetly has a different sound than my other SS amps at moderate to louder volume. I like the sound and find the Yaqin amps a great buy. I may venture into a full tube amp from Yaqin base on looks, performance and price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
