Beautifully built and from a no-nonsense honest to the core manufacturer. My friend the tube repair god thinks very highly of their simple build quality and engineering.
The external build quality of these amps are even more impressive when viewed in person. I've heard these on a few occasions and find their sense of presence and soundstage size to be up there with the best. Also these are very easy amplifiers to live with. They never become strident or bite you when you hear the upper treble notes. I think if you like the tube sound and prefer your music to be 'warm and inviting', these are a must audition.
I would give a quicksilver pre a try. They are well-regarded, cost effective, and should be a good match.
