Any budget? And preferences SS or tubes?  
300B, 2A3 experiances wanted
Bruce I've heard your amp once, at CAF a few years ago and it sounded nice with 300B tubes. That said I much prefer the 2a3 tube it's much more transparent and linear than the 300B while still maintaining a sense of naturalness to the sound. The r... 
List Of Small Company Tube Amps
Actually maybe a better question would be a list of large tube amp making companies? Aside from maybe Luxman I can't think of any. And please don't say ARC they were just recently sold for almost nothing.

I have an Aries G1 and had some issues wired with it when I first got it. I switched it to wifi and since then it's been rock solid. My former Aries Mini played great wired or Wifi.  
Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed?

Upgrade Digital Cable Review
The Jorma digital cable in my system is amazing and by far the best cable in my system in my opinion. That was really hammered home when I accidentally damaged it and had it repaired, it was a grueling week waiting on it's return!  
Free Tip for Jumpers
I’ve been doing this for years myself and recently did some trials on jumper cables that were quite eye opening! I'd show a pic but I still can't seem to post pics on here.
