Looking for an integrated tube amp USA or Europe


I think about getting something for my son as his birthday is right around the corner, but most of what I see is Chinese. I won't buy Chinese, but I need a recommendation of something made in the US, Canada, or Europe.

Any ideas???

Look at the crdevelopments site www.crdevelopments.com they have a good range of integrated amps.They are made in the UK and even have a couple with built in phono stages.If your son has efficient speakers the Audion products also sound great.The other nice sounding made in Europe piece is the Tesla they were being distributed from Florida.What about an old Sonic Frontiers CPA-1 or an Anthem from Canada or a Cary from Home.
I love my SLI-80 but the going used price is about 1800 rather than 1500. It is quite powerful for a tubed integrated so it can drive more speakers than other tubed integrateds.
Rotel RA-1062, 450.00 to 495.00 used. Great value. 60 watts per channel, remote controlled, built in phono, good build quality, surprisingly good sound, two sets of speaker terminals. Next step up would recommend YBA Integre DT, not really more power, but very refined sound, 1100.00 to 1350.00 depending on whether it is remote controlled and has phono stage. Good luck!
