Need a new amp


I am currently in the market for a amp/preamp or integrated to match with my Golden Ear Triton Reference.

I currently have a McIntosh MC-452 but this time around I am looking to get a tube amp preferably a single ended Class A.  I was looking at the Line Magnetic LM-805iA and the Cary CAD-805RS.

My sources are VPI Prime Sig with SoundSmith Paua MKII cart.  I also have a McIntosh MP-1100 phono preamp.  For digital I use a Sony HAP1-ZES.

Any other suggestions or products to look at or consider?

Thanks

If you are looking for new gear, you should check out the Art Audio Quartets which are a 45w 845 based mono-block.  I ran them for almost 18 months and they are brilliant.  There is a full review in Enjoy the Music that was done by Professor Michael Bump.  

They are incredible with the Conductor Preamp.  It is a great match and one I would get any day.  

I ran that combo in my home and at AXPONA and Capital Audiofest in 2019.  If it isn't clear, I am the importer which I know makes me biased but it is worth checking out coverage.  Best was in part-time audiophile from both of those shows.
