Hi Jay,

There are many amplifiers on the market that would fall under your criteria of quality with good parts.

But, you left out some important requirments, like output power, type of output tube, mode of operation (Pentode, UL, Triode) and price for instance.

I will attempt to list a few that I feel are within your criteria. But, I have included a few that are not, ones that have realistic pricing for high end audio equipment, and that play music.

1.) Eastern Electric M520 PP EL34 Mullard clone.

2.) Quick Silver Horn mono PP EL34.

3.) Almorro A205A MKII SE EL84, and the A318B SE 6C33C.

4.) Manley Labs Stingray EL84 integrated, Mahi EL84 mono-block, Snapper EL34 mono-block.

5.)Jolida Audio, there are several tube types and power ratings to choose from.

This is a quick list to think about. But, these examples are a few of dozens of manufacturers that offer quality products that fall under your criteria.

And don't count out the kit suppliers, that is the real bang for the buck way to go. Some kit suppliers that are worth a look at are.

6.) Audio Note Kits who is one of the Asylum sponsors that has an informative forum here.

7.) Welborne Labs, who is another sponsor here.

8.) Stoetkit, who makes some nice products that sound good, like the Stoetkit Jr., and the model 6.

Then, there are the vintage products to consider, like Heathkit, Marantz, Fisher, Harman Kardon, McIntosh, Dynaco, EICO, ect.

That is about all of the time I have for this post.
I am sure there will be many more who can fill in the many amplifier blanks that I have left out.

Here is a link that will help you research many other possibilities.
Just get on the website and start reading.
