Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k

@charles1dad and @carlsbad2 excellent discussion I'll just say I found myself dissatisfied with tubes amps until I heard my first pushpull Class A triode wired amp, since then I've never wanted anything else. 😉

@gregjacob I have never owned a primaluna but have heard a couple.  I wasn't impressed, I concluded it was the amp, but I have to be honest that it was other peoples' systems.  for a true test, it would be much better to drop one into my system so I would be able to control the other variables.  

the ZMA is a point to point wired vs printed circuit board for the primaluna.  Primaluna.  The PL is a bit of a swiss army knife with all the features, but that in my opinion degrades the signal.  The ZMA's strong point's are the huge power supply and simple signal path.  I am a big fan but I don't need so much power and am fixated on the simple SETs now.  Yes, i will be listing it for sale soon but I am not offering it for sale yet.  I know there are a lot of Primaluna owners out there.  This is my opinion only.  I'm just a guy and my opinion is worth what you pay for it so don't be offended.

the custom amp is a 6 figure amp with hand wound transformers and some amazing features.  I am very lucky to be able to purchase it.  I have heard the layout version of it and it is already the best amp I've ever heard.
