Vintage tube sound from a modern amp


I am just collecting names of makes and models of tube amps that harken back to the older classic tube sound but have modern chassis, connectors etc. Any such amps you guys enjoy?

So far names that have come up are Cary SLI series, CJ Art and classic 62/120.

Many tube companies are pushing more and more to a neutral and fast airy (thinner) sound. So its becoming increasingly difficult to find gear with that classic sound the exemplifies the beauty of music.

The photos on the site are a good example of what's inside.   Nothing secret in there, just honoring my word not to distribute pics of his work.   Which some of is a collaborative effort with Gordon Rankin.   That's all.   He didn't ask me not to,  it was just understood that I wouldn't be posting pics of his design, which is his IP.   

Sure these amps share a basic circuit design going way back , but this is his design.  You are reading way too deep into it.

 

 

 

This. I will not buy an amp using this type of construction. 

No zip ties or double face tape holding things.

The build pics on the site (toolshed) are impressive - I like the use of sturdy standoffs.

I do see a few small circuits boards with the traces used, but don't know what their purpose is.

The casework reminds me of a fancy metal rolling paper case that I had when I was in high school.

Qualiton X200:  Very positive reviews for what they are worth. It's an option and I do really like the Toolshed Steam Punk look. 

   

@jerryg123 Is the Qualiton a vintage classic tube sound or is it more a modern fast neutral sound ?
