There are quite a few manufacturers of new tubed amps now. Sonic Frontiers got their start building them, and might still make them. There are also some good ones that don't cost a lot from companies like Asusa, SoundValves (Sound Values) and others. I'm sorry I don't have a lot of names handy, but you can probably turn up some names with a web search. Of course you can pay BIG bucks for a tube amp, and I do not think that those are worth the money, but they sure have purty brushed aluminum faceplates. There are plenty of manufacturers of vacuum tubes (the tubes themselves) also, most come from Russia and other former eastern bloc countries, but they make good stuff.
