While most of the audio world has gone with digital, solid-state technology, music purists still swear by the warm, natural sound that can only be produced by old-school, vacuum-tube amplifiers.

Some of the very best of the tube amps are made to order by Japanese firm Wavac. Be prepared to wait at least three months for delivery after ordering these model SH-833 amplifiers - and pay a staggering $350,000 for the pair.
