Have been a low-budget audiophile all my life, with a really nice solid state system for the last 17 years. Just last month I picked up my first tube amp - a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum. I'm a huge fan of their engineering ethic - the remote control for example, is a weighty billet of raw brushed aluminum with two buttons...volume up, volume down.

First session was with an excellent recording that I know backwards and forwards. It was like hearing it for the first time...in the recording studio. I'm completely hooked...and am in the process of rediscovering my music collection.
