List Of Small Company Tube Amps


I just love tube amps and I’m always wondering what small guy out there is making stellar amps under the radar.  I’m only talking somewhat affordable gear, definitely under 10k new. More like 2-5k is what I’m thinking. I’ll start the list but I’m sure there are a ton that I’ll miss.  Obviously feel free to express your preferences. Some of these might have international distribution but I feel they have a small enough presence in the US that they kind of count. 

Decware, may not count any longer but one of the originals

These are three excellent ones I am not seeing on the list above

These may not qualify because their owners/builders either passed away or no longer design, but if you can find them on the market, they're well worth the effort and price:
