Default You want delicious? The Decware Zen Torii
Been listening to this for a few months now and am highly impressed. Meticulously hand crafted in Chicago, all point to point wiring, lifetime guarantee and a tube roller's dream.

25wpc with EL34 tubes and just fantastic to listen to. Even with the 90db B&W 802 Diamonds, I'm in heaven.

Ok, I found everything on their web site.
This looks like a terrific amp at a very moderate price.
Direct from factory gives a MSRP very realistic. It could be sold twice the price with an importer / distributor and a dealer.
Lifetime warranty shows how confident they are in their products.

The Decware Zen Torii is simply amazing – Blog | TONEAudio MAGAZINE

Jerome, Steve has been building amps now for over 20 years and I've never met anyone with a problem. They almost NEVER show up used either, which is an excellent sign. Will it do everything? Of course not, but if you want "delicious" sound without a premium and also with an amplifier that uses readily available tubes, this is an excellent choice.

Jeff.......Thanks for the link. I read the whole Decware Zen Torii site. Very interesting amplifier at a reasonable price. It seems to have a devoted group of owners.

How truly disappointing.
I agree Howie. Well said.
