Best sounding,reliable, tube amp below $700 used

Hi, I thought I'd throw out this question to everyone, and see what their opinions are. I'm sure there is a wide range of opinions on it, so the full question is: What is the best tube amp under $700, on the used market, in terms of both sound quality, and reliability?
Thanks

Thanks for the replies, I've read about the mini mites on an old post here, and also the Conrad-Johnson mv-55 seems to also have a lot of backers. Please keep the opinions going.

Well, my system now is comprised of an Adcom GFP-750 preamp, and PSB Alpha speakers, but I will be replacing the PSB with Revel M12s in the near future.

As for amps that I've heard, I really havent heard that many, but I have liked the sound of the Krells and Levinsons. I've listeded to a Rotel integrated and wasnt too impressed with that. I also had a Marantz 2330 that was okay, but not outstanding. I seem to like systems that bring out a wide soundstage, and detailed vocals, especially female. Does that help at all?
