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

I just came across this this am:

this Muzishare integrated amp looks a lot like my Cayin: construction/quality/features/25w triode/45w ultralinear power rating ...

AND it has built-in phono and headphone amp, meters, external bias control

https://www.ebay.com/itm/X7-KT88-Push-pull-tube-Integrated-amplifier-Phono-Preamp-Remote-45w-2/11375...

$1,600. delivered to USA

If I didn't have/love my mx110z's phono, and IF it had 16 ohm taps and IF it sounds like my Cayin, I would try it, perhaps then sell the Cayin.

a quickie search/find:

I have heard great things about LTA. Will look into the model recommended. 
I will also check out the Muzishare. I heard Cayin and Prima Luna are built in the same factory.
