SōLIS S0-8000 Tube Audio System
If you crave the warm glow (and sound) of tubes but are short on cash, SōLIS has a tube-based music system you might be interested in. The centerpiece of the SO-8000 system is an integrated amplifier with a preamp driven by two vacuum tubes. Not just any tube, mind you, but the iconic 12AX7, which has been in production since RCA introduced it in 1947.
