Canadian designed and built, which is about as far away from the Chinese hash as you can get lol. Also I did review his Makoyi amp a couple years ago which I feel matches a lot of what you're looking for. You can read my ramblings here:

That is good to hear! I was originally looking at the Decware CSP3, and it's nice to find something else close to it to make me think.

Wolf Ear has a good reputation and is on my short list for a power amp down the line.

Interesting! I've never heard of Wolf Ear. I wonder if we could line up a Canadian loaner tour. That stepped volume attenuator he makes looks crazy

The Makoyi had a short tour back in 2017. Lots of initial interest but then people dropped out =/

I remember seeing that "wolf head" plaque here somewhere. Guess he's like the aboriginal Canadian DNA.

Mapletree Audio is another Canadian tube amp maker, with a webpage that looks like it still belongs in the netscape era: https://www.mapletreeaudio.com/
Their circuits are also available in their manuals.
