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

Really surprised no one has included Black Ice Audio on this list. This is the 'inheritor' of the Jolida products, with some superb enhancements. I highly recommend the F65a and the F85a! USA Made too. Fusion 85A Integrated Tube Amplifier - 95wpc* (Made in Maryland) — BLACK ICE AUDIO |
@macg19 That is hideous behavior on their part - thanks for warning and bringing it to light! "Lifetime" warranties are only as good as the company offering them - which often isn't very good. I don't value a lifetime or transferrable warranty nearly as much as a company willing to reliably work on any of their products (especially if out of warranty or discontinued) for a reasonable charge. In fact, when I see a "lifetime" warranty being advertised, that just throws up red flags to me. VAC and Rogue have proven to me they're great companies to work with. |

@atmasphere Shame you have to toot your own horn; I guess folks consider you ‘large.’ |
