If you play only CD's why not get a used intergrated tube amp? I'm sure you could find something for as little as $300.
If you want real power - lets say 100 watts and spin vinyl you can do the tube preamp with phono and tube amp for about $1,000 each (that's exactly what I did).

So it's only 38 watts, most people never use more than the first watt anyway.
