I'll back up b_limo on the recommendation of the Cayin amp. I have the A-50T Cayin integrated and of the 20 or so amps I've owned over 50 years of swapping audio gear it's the most satisfying. The build quality is exceptional for the price and it sounds remarkably good, at least the equal of the Cary and Rogue amps I owned.
I've owned two Peachtree products, the Decco, which I think was their first offering, and a couple of the deepBlue2 all-in-one units. The Decco was just okay sonically and I wasn't impressed with the build quality. Of course, their newer products may well be better and they do have a good reputation.
I've found that the usual objections to dealing with tubes don't apply if you buy a well-made amp from a maker with a solid reputation and, most important, buy your tubes from one of the established, highly regarded tube dealers. The payoff, for me, is high and fooling around with tubes is actually enjoyable.
