Best Integrated Amp You Ever Heard?

I am tired of the Pre-amp+Power-amp game. So, I am in the quest of finding a really really good integrated amp, preferably used, so I can save some money off the original price.
Right now, I have a pair of Triangle Celius (92db), but I would like the amp to be able to drive other not-so-sensitive speakers.

What is the best integrated amp you've ever listened to?

Thanks,

Josep

After more than three weeks of 24/7 play, the heavily modified/upgraded amp has "shifted gears" and sounds wonderful. It is faster, more authoritative, and more articulate than both the stock Pathos TT and my 2011 upgrade. Those big Dueland Cast PIO tinned copper capacitors are a revelation. Noise floor, clarity, timbre, tone density, soundstaging, etc. - everything is improved over the previous version. Together with the ZR Acoustics panels I am getting the best sound of my life.

Used IMO the best one is the Gryphon Diablo 300 and it is the one i'm going to purchase.Otherwise best one i've heard at any price is by far the Audionet Humboldt.
