What are the "new" brands in amps and pre-amps

Rogers amps, reading up on them. Tube based unit. They have a lifetime warranty, which is transferable as well. Made here in the USA as well.

When I recover from my kids being in school...I can't wait.

This year, just as my three daughters all finished college, they each became engaged - three weddings in one year! If you can swing it, don't wait to get yourself a goodie or two along the way!

Gammajo, congratulations but OOouch. Not a new name but a new team manufacturing a somewhat new design to an old technology. Maybe its because I listened to Marantz 8B's long ago but I'm loving my Carver VTA 180's.

No tube, not that I don't like it. But I prefer solid state. And yes I am looking for new brands which are quite new in business. In America there are many brands you do not see in Europe. I know there are always new brands which are very promising. Thanks a lot for all the info.

Hegel amps are great!
