Triode Corp or Line Magnetic?


Decisions, decisions.  I've been researching a few tube options, two of them being Triode Corporation out of Japan and Line Magnetic, but supposedly, Line Magnetic have a tendency to run very hot but then again I don't know since I don't have any experience with them.  

Another brand that comes to mind is Cayin, Decware and Raven Audio, I have a budget of $3500 give or take...

Anyone care to chime in?  Thanks in advance~

I have  a Line Magnetic518ia (845 based tube integrated as part of my main system's amplifier "options" . My room is 28x20x10 so reasonably large. Unless I get right next to the 518 there's no heat to feel from the 845s and the amp itself is nor hot. Just my experience
