"Good tube Integrated Amps"


What are some very good tube integrated amps to consider under $4000

I’ve had a "factory upgraded" Jolida 502p for years and am so impressed with its quiet and powerful presentation of tube slam and refinement I that I don’t hesitate to recommend this stuff…that 3502 looks cool, and hey, it’s still much less expensive than any comparable amp from anybody else. There are very few new reviews of Jolida amps, and simply zero ads in appropriate magazines…not sure if there’s a connection there, but modern Jolida (the MD guys) gear deserves some props for design and execution. Having personally compared my amp (a few times in my own listening space) to similar amps costing much more money from frequently reviewed manufacturers, I’ve felt the Jolida is simply better sounding, or at least every bit as musical as the much more precious stuff.
+1 Jolida! I've always liked their gear. My FX10 was such fun in a desktop office system. Always punched above its weight to be cliched about it. Very inexpensive, yet truly good sound and design. I always thought Jolida (MD) should have upgraded that model slightly, charged a few hundred more bucks for an extra input, better volume control...many folks would wonder...why pay more??? Their other models are stellar. I don't own those but have heard them in enough different folks systems to know how good they are.

I'll second wolf_garcia's and other's comments about the Maryland-based Jolida.  Had a Jolida 502B for a decade.  My intro to tubes.  Good value for the money.  The factory upgrade for it was another high value bargain.  It responded readily to tube rolling.  It's well within your budget.  I liked the fact that biasing was manual (and easy to do, I might add).  Only reason I stopped using it was I needed more power for some lower efficiency speakers. Good luck in your search.  
I listened to a couple Primaluna integrateds and was searching for a used one and came across a Manley Labs Stingray II. I preferred the sound and ended up buying it about a month ago. So far I am very pleased with the sound - rich, warm with some nice low end punch. As a bonus, the American made amp features a unique industrial design that is pretty showstopping. All my friends, even those who don't give a hoot about stereo gear, have commented on it. 

Bottom line, there are a lot of great options under your price point. You'll have fun discovering the options. Good luck!
