List Of Small Company Tube Amps
I just love tube amps and I’m always wondering what small guy out there is making stellar amps under the radar. I’m only talking somewhat affordable gear, definitely under 10k new. More like 2-5k is what I’m thinking. I’ll start the list but I’m sure there are a ton that I’ll miss. Obviously feel free to express your preferences. Some of these might have international distribution but I feel they have a small enough presence in the US that they kind of count.
Decware, may not count any longer but one of the originals

@audionutjeff ++++++ on BorderPatrol Electronics ! I have Gary Dew's S20 Parallel SET 300-B amp/PSU's and his top of the line control preamp/PSU's. Very micro/macro dynamic and articulate. No slouch in the bass department ! Highly recommended ! You'll see his electronics at the CAF and Tampa Audio Expo with Volti speakers and Triode Labs cabling... That team gets high marks at nearly every audio show... |
@liquidsound I agree! Their rooms are always terrific. I have all Triode Wire Labs cables and they are excellent. Pete, Gary, and Greg are terrific guys.Border Patrol amps are on my 300b short list! |
