I don't like Little Dot amps.
For the same price, solid state is a better option. You have to put more than $100 of parts (if that) into a tube amp to equal the filtering and regulation of the average solid state amp. Solid state is less expensive to do right because you don't have to pay for components that handle high voltage. That means a much less expensive power transformer, smaller caps, and, well, everything is less expensive to do right.
If you want to do tubes right, you're going to rack up $500 in raw parts fast and there's more labor to case tubes. On the other hand, you can get the raw parts for the excellent Dynalo for about $120-$150. Or the new O2, which I think can be assembled for about $50-$70.
The problem with tubes is that you need to spend $50-$70 or more on a good power transformer. Big caps, a tube rectifier, chokes, and everything else you need for clean power will easily add up to $300. Another $100 for a good case and $100 for parts comes quickly.
Labor doesn't enter into the costs for raw parts; the prices are about the same everywhere.
