Tommy.......From the list you provided, were I interested in trying an integrated tube amp, I would probably select the Manley Stingray II. As unattractive as it is to my eyes, it has gotten exceptional press and plenty of positive comments from users.

Well lets see, I've had 2 of these and at point might do another one.

But if I was to go for something new I think it would be Cary 300 SEI. I guess I'm a sucker for Cary and how they put there tubes right out there for the would to see!

This may not be state of the art, but I have one of these Audio Vista i34 amps and it is a terrific little amp. I keep thinking about selling it, but I'll probably give it to my son at some point.

I own a Mcintosh MA2275 but would also love to own an Ayon Triton II and a Manley Stingray II.

The Audio Note OTO SE Phono was one of the finest audio components that I have owned.

EL-84 based tube bliss, with a great phono section and beautiful understated styling.

Beside the Kondo Ongaku I would go for EAR's V12 integrated amp:
