Obviously, these are not contenders for the absolute best. They are not bad for the novice and frugal.
 
It is not likely that they would best the Jolida. For example.
 
Jolida and Black Ice Audio both have a reputation for providing good to great sound for not so "High-end" prices. Research goes a long way.

Yes Tom. In fact I may consider Jolida "classic tube" rather than budget. Why post the list? Variety is the spice of life.
 
Top 5 entry level tube integrated amplifiers for 2024 would have been a better title.

I was wondering who was using those chassis that was sold on ebay when I was looking for a preamp chassis to build on.
One of these days, I should ramp up one of my designs since "the best" are boutiques instead of corporate builds.
