Who makes the highest quality tube amps?


One scale of 1-10, 10 being best designed and constructed technically, personal sound preferences aside, who are the 8s, 9s, and 10s?

VAC, ARC, Atmasphere would seem like likely candidates I can think of. Are they ?

Where does Decware rank? Rogue? How about others?

SOme technical facts to help support any claims is appreciated please.

Durability and reliability matters to me here as much as anything. I would want my tube gear to continue to work as reliably as designed years down the road as well as up front.

THanks.

Thanks.

Electra Fidelity. Hard wired, Huge custom hand wound transformers, Jack Elliano's proprietary circuits. Mine replaced Coincident Frankensteins. No contest. He makes a single ended 45, 300b, and el-34. Also makes push pull amps if you need more power. Give em a try, it might get you off the merry go round.
auntjenof2,

Which Electra Fidelity amp do you own? I was looking at the 45 or 300b? Have you been able to listen to all 3 amps?
Does the el-34 have SET magic?
