What Tube amp for Biginner?

[Jon_Malaysia]

hi all,

I'm new to tube amp. I planing to get my 1st tube amp very soon.

I saw a few China made Tube Integrated amp. are they any good?

Will I get anything good with budget around RM3000?

Yes
There lots of them that can be had at Rm3000. Perhaps something of the diy nature which often has the best bang per buck.

if you need to know more about malaysian offerings write me a mail. I can help. Perhaps A 300b at that range is possible

Hi Jon, and welcome (I noticed this is your first post) 🙂

Are you asking about an amp which you intend to assemble yourself (i.e. DIY), or something to buy and use straight away?

For anyone else, 3000 Ringgit is around US$790.

Hi Jon,

Since you are in this forum, I assume that you r also considering DIY options. You can lurk around at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/diyers/ for some malaysian made tube kits and advise.

Hi Jon,

Here I enclose the schematic of my first tube amp (my second one is going to be a 300B). It uses a KT88 in triode mode, ECC83 in SRPP configuration as driver, and a Hammond 1627SE output transformer. This components are not difficult to find.

If you are interested in this one, I will give you further information.

Good luck
