Just got a desk and I can finally set up a desktop listening station. Have a Schiit Modi 3 + Magni 3 stack but wanted to venture into the world of tube amps.
Budget around $150-200.
What might be good starter tube amps that will pair nicely with my DT 880 250 ohms?

Thanks so much :) I requested one on Drop. I can see one on Amazon for around $269. Would look around for a used one as it is a little over my budget.
Any other recommendations?

Garage 1217 makes some nice little amps haven’t heard the Starlight but the Project Ember is a very nice amp as well but more expensive. Another amp that I haven’t heard but seems to get some love is the Loxjie P20 it is a balanced Hybrid amp that seems about the same power as the Starlight when using balanced.
Also if you can solder the Project Starlight has a DIY version that would save you a few bucks also.
Haven’t talked to you in a while how you been?
