US made, integrated tube preamp able to handle KT150 tubes?

I know that foreign made can still be excellent equipment, but I like the idea of support being "local". No offense...

Suggestions? Preferably less than $5000

There are so many great sounding amps that use other type tubes. BTW, Tung-Sol is the only manufacturer that makes that tube. You are boxing yourself in with one brand of tube!

Made right here in Northeast Pennsylvania for just under $3000.00
