I don't own commercial tube gear, only use my own stuff, and it's been that way for many decades. But... if I had to have a commercial amp, I'd pop for a Luxman 3045, and redo the tubes. It's a well-executed version of the Mac unity coupled circuit with a few modern touches. I've worked on a lot of equipment from C-J, AR, VTL, and the like and have no interest in ever owning them. But that 3045 hit the same irrational bit of me that lusts for a Nissan Figaro (despite not being a car guy).
