Affordable SS that sound like Tubes

This is not even in the ball Park to best of Anything ,but maybe on a budget. In its day 30 years ago I agree was very good ,but cannot match todays far superior capacitors , volume attenuators resistors by todays standards vs say a pass labs ,Ayre, Luxman it cannot compete on any level. 
if you like old gear fine , just look at the volume pot ,a scratch pot alps type volume 

which is a noise maker totally robs low level detail and resolution .having owned a Audio store for a decade , and knowing parts quality very well and modding over 20 years some companies still use these $20 pieces of rubbish , a resistor stepped attenuator , or relay is far lower noise and is not a liability , just for starters ,before buying anything if you see a integrated amp,or preamp look for a round silver pot 

prima luna has a $5k preamp built well except went cheap at the output ,motorized Alps or Bourne volume pot ,inside2 plastic wipers with a metalized spray coating just to save a few bucks not very sound.

I was responding to Sansui Alpha competing with todays much better parts technologies it cannot compete  ,but it was a very good product in its day .

Tubes don’t make it better ,you need to spend $3k used and up 

for say a 25wpc class A pass Labs  which is more power then it sounds .

it here is No good tube amps at $3k . Quality tube amps cost $$. No getting around it . Any quality tube amp has good transformers and chokes like Lundahl, Hashimoto,Tango for example. are C core transformers ,look at all Quality amplifiers , you will not find any Torroidal transformers in a high quality tube amp , Ayon, VAC , CJ, AR ,Luxman, Audio Valve,Jadis and  many more look at custom tube builders Like Radu Tarta, or Thomas Meyer, my point is Audiophile quality products cost $$.
