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.

Qualiton X200:  Very positive reviews for what they are worth. It's an option and I do really like the Toolshed Steam Punk look. 

   

@smodtactical you should audition one. I am not sure who in Ontario is handling the brand. 

@smodtactical More a classic tube sound. I also have an Octave V70 SE and it has a more "modern, fast sound"  

Match it with a speaker like the Sonner Legato Unum and a good digital and or analog front end and you are set. 

@ozzy62 that maybe the case for you. Not me. I have 3 systems in my house well 4 if I include my workshop and I have the full gambit of gear. From tubes to GaN amps. I get to enjoy it all. How about you? 

Cheers @ozzy62 love the sound of all my amps, that’s why they are in my home. Enjoy your rig and remember it’s about the music.
