Vintage tube sound from a modern amp

I am just collecting names of makes and models of tube amps that harken back to the older classic tube sound but have modern chassis, connectors etc. Any such amps you guys enjoy?

So far names that have come up are Cary SLI series, CJ Art and classic 62/120.

Many tube companies are pushing more and more to a neutral and fast airy (thinner) sound. So its becoming increasingly difficult to find gear with that classic sound the exemplifies the beauty of music.

Many of the fine examples offered are VERY EXPENSIVE.  The classic tube sound does not have to be so costly.  What's more classic than a Marantz 8 or its downmarket contemporary, the Dyna Stereo 70?  You can buy a brand new one with modern parts and upgraded input circuitry here:
