Audio Nirvana 300b Integrated Amplifier up for consideration.
From the Audio Nirvana(Commonsense Audio) site:
Finally, someone has made a Single Ended Triode amplifier with deep, powerful, extended bass and highs that extend to the limits of human hearing. Together with the traditional smooth and detailed SET midrange, this is the best sounding amplifier we have heard to date. The Audio Nirvana 300B SET uses an enormously powerful toroidal power supply protected in a real potted case (not a dummy one, as many companies use). Transformers are massive and are handwound in our own factory. The amplifier weighs over 52 lbs (24 kilos). Parts are chosen for the best possible sound quality--not because we want to impress you with 'boutique' names. Each amplifier is beautifully hand assembled and tested. To maintain the superb sound, there are no adjustments to be made--ever. Self biasing, no AC or DC balance to adjust. And made with the fewest parts possible and best sounding tubes.

http://www.commonsenseaudio.com/nirvanaamps.html I'm the second owner of this fine 300b amp. I purchased this last spring from the original owner who had hardly used it. I have about 300 hours on it. The amp is very quiet with no hum just some very slight hiss from my 100db horns.
