Inexpensive Tube Amps
I wanted to update everyone on the Tube Cube7 amp performance.Swapped out the tubes for the new edition of the Mallards (Mullard) for both the Power (EL84/6BQ5) and Pre amp (12AX7/ECC83). Also switched speaker cables from the AQ Type 4 to KnuKonce...

Lloyd.  My 6 Ohm Mirage OM 10's are fine with this amp.  5 wpc and with a sensitivity of 91 db I get more than enough sound to hear it 30 feet away even with the volume knob around 11 AM.  In the same room or an adjacent room and I can leave it at...

Thanks wtf.  Yes, it really is a very good amp.  Wish I had more to spend but I don't.  Maybe in the future.  For now this one works just fine for me and with the preamp I have, I am able to use any of the components that I have with it.  At some ...

pawlowski.  Glad to hear you get it.  I've literally got to spend thousands for so many new things right now that have been neglected for years and that includes my stereo system.  Aside from my speakers most of the other gear needed to be upgrade...

wolf.  My budget is for a Honda Civic and you keep trying to sell me on a Acura.  The fact that you've never even heard this amp lends less credibility to your suggestions which are too expensive for me at this time.  At one time I probably could ...

I was quite clear about what I wanted.  Why people are pushing me off in another direction is a problem.  Yes, a problem especially if they are trying to get me to spend money I don't have to spend right now.  If I wanted to get opinions about oth... 
Morrow IC's
213runnin.  I've learned to own more than one kind of IC's for this very reason.  What sounds good with one component may not work as well with another.   I will be ordering another pair of Morrow IC's later in the year once I determine which pair...

I should mention that the TubeCube7 drives my Mirage OM 10 towers just fine.  Six ohm and 91 db sensitivity. I gets more than loud enough to hear in 30 feet away or two rooms away from the living room. The 8 ohm Castles don't work well with it.  T...

Fortunately I have a good repair shop in the area.  Already have used them for a couple of things.  At some point I may spend a bit more on a tube amp if the Yamaha A500 bites the dust.  But will worry about that if the time comes.

I appreciate the additional and more supportive feedback on this subject.  Simply put I have a finite amount of dollars to work with and a budget to stick to.  I've got so many other projects that consume money and time and also other things to bu... 
New cd player needed
Procured a onkyo d'x 702 circa 1991.  Need a dac for it.  What units that cost less than $250 will sound good? 
Morrow IC's
lee maze.  sorry for the late reply.  Been very busy with numerous things and tied up with a few more diseased minds like fsonicsmith on a separate thread about cheap tube amps from China.The Morrow cable is far better than the Nevergreen from AQ....

addyson.  You are delusional.  I wanted feedback from people that had experience with the units mentioned.  Here is the OP:Anyone have any experience with the following?  I want to try one just to see how the sound compares to my Yamaha and Denon ... 
Inexpensive Tube Amps
Tubegroover. My initial query was straight and to the point. I wanted to know about the three amps that I linked to. I don’t see any other request for additional information about any other amps.Over the years I've found this board to have some kn...

What I think most of you fail to grasp is that I have a limited budget for this.  If I had wanted to hear about alternatives then I would have asked specifically for advice or information about other brands or models.  I already did preliminary re...
