So I am really new to tube amps. I read the sticky about them here, and I kind of understand how the work. However, I am now stuck in the "where now?" position.
I am looking for something that I do not really have to mess with. I would be very happy with something that would work and sound good right out of the box. No matter how fun selecting the *right* tube might be, as a beginner, I would like to start from something solid.
Last, price is a factor to me. I see some amps that are $100, some that are $400, then some that are $3000+? Ideally, I would like to keep it in the $350ish range, is that realistic? Also, at this price, could I get something where I could see a decent gain over the Creek OBH-11 amp that I am using right now? If so, how much? What are some realistic differences I could expect to hear?
Thanks
