Kora - All of their products are close to state of the art at reasonable prices, which will soon be going up. If you are into tubes check them out. They are cosmetically attractive as well.

I am in search of small audio manufacturers out there that put out high quality equipment at extraordinary value. Companies that don't spend any money on advertising/hype but that are there to promote their to sell their well made products at a fair value. I don not mean ML,Krell, Plinius, AR, Sonic Frontier, etc...all good products but absolutely REDICULOUSLY priced!!!
