looking for a tube integrated

I have a pair of Meadowlark Kestrals (hot rods) that I like and am currently using an Audio Refinement int. that I also like but I'm really wanting some tubes somewhere in my system-
Any ideas for a tube int.,SE might be nice, keeping it around 1k-new or used. I would prefer something made in the USA and/or at least made by a small group of people rather than a factory line- maybe it's all too much to ask for short money-
thanks in advance for the feedback- Adam

I think the Manley Stingray is a nice tube integrated. Also, Cary is a good one. Both in the USA.

I've always liked the E.A.R. integrated when I've heard it. Not U.S., but it is a fairly small company.

The suggestions above can easily be more than $1k unless you are really lucky. I would look into Jolida or Antique Sound Labs. I don't think either are really made here however. Good luck -

I have the Cary sli 80. I upgraded the tubes through Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio. I would strongly recommend this amp.
