Highest BUILD quality tube amps?


Not so much with sound...lots of ways to fine tune thru tube rolling, etc. I'm just curious which tube amps are built to last for many years with the least amount of repairs. I know Mcintosh comes to mind for longevity. I was snooping around on the web and Air Tight seems to be built like a tank and I've never read any poor repair histories. Luxman same thing. Any others come to mind?

From my experience -

Audio Research line stages will generally run for close to 20 years after which the power supply caps may reduce reliability. (LS25Mk1 Ref2Mk1 LS26)

The power amps require some bravery though. (VT100Mk1 Ref110) However both are still running.
