What seems to be the general consensus on the best budget tube amp? I’ve only owned solid state (Q1 Mark II, Nano iDSD BL) and want to delve into the gentle warmth of tube world.

What is your budget?
How about the Bravo Ocean?

I’d say sub 300 range.

Currently have T5 gen 2 and Westone UM PRO10. Thinking of getting AFC sometime soon, maybe another pair of IEM's.

That darkvoice is supposedly great according to Zeos from youtube but does run super hot. Schiit Valhalla should be in the price range.

I really enjoy the Valhalla 2. Good with high impedance headphones
