Best Vintage tube amp / preamp manufacturer

From the 60’s and 70’s. Macintosh obviously comes to mind. And which models of the brands. There aren’t that many but I am interested to know your thoughts. 
I have a bit of a Mac and Fisher collection going on.

@koh_i_noor If you like the old ARC stuff (like the SP-3) then if you can find an H/K Citation 1 and have it refurbished you're in for a pleasant surprise. The weak bit about the Citation was its connectors (which were the only game out there at the time) aren't very nice. But otherwise I think its a better preamp.

A Sansui AU 11 if originally offered as a model in the US will be a very nice Amp. 

My main experience is with  CD used as a Source. 

The in built Phonostage in use with a SUT, has also raised a few smiles from those who have heard this.
