Ok, Guys. I'm thinking about breaking down and trying finally build a 2ch rig with my 2nd pair of LSi9's
I would like to go tube's (Two of them) But have thought about getting the sunfire Classic Vacuum Tube Control Center and a Sunfire Signature Stereo Amplifier Series II. Id like to have some help with this build.
I also need a turn table but don't want to drop a grand or more. this is just something entry level. I want to do this on some kinda budget. The equipment I'm going to buy used a piece at a time. I'm not ruling out tube amps and pre.
So any of you guys that could help that would be great.
More less I want something I can play all my Mother and Fathers old vinyl on and still sound good!
I have my sunfire amp that I have now hooked up on the current side of the amp to mimic a tube amp but I would like to know what real tube's sound like.

    I'd take a look at one of the Jolida tube integrateds. They should have enough juice to drive some LSi's. I'm seriously thinking of doing the same for my big SDA's. Even the big 100W x 2 Jolida can be had for less than $2k, so you could certainly save some money over the Sunfire equipment and put that towards the TT or other source(s).

    Ohhh... man, totally check out the Jolidas... There is one monster, all tubed, AND a remote. I couldn't live without a remote. My feet don't reach that far... gotta stay in the sweet spot, yanno?

    Yeah, I'm thinking of the JC-1000RC, I think. Even Underwood has them modded for just a little over that $2k threshold.

    OK, I found a JC-1000RC With the MF 2yr. warranty the guy wants $1600 for it but I'm going to try and get it for $1100. But what about a turntable?
