Looking for a warm sounding amp or integrated with a torodial transformer

Looking for recommendations for a warm sounding integrated amplifier or power amplifier tube or solid state with a torodial transformer power supply. I have multiple chemical sensitivities and the materials used  in the rectangular transformers affect me, I'm fine with toroidal transformers. I've been looking at BAT, Modwright, and Pass Labs. Any other ideas? I have a Rogue audio sphinx but would like a bit more warmth.

Thanks in advance!

Are you sure your integrated is the problem and a new $5k-$6k integrated will solve this issue? I’d be looking at $350 Wharfedale Diamond 225 speakers as candidates for the upgrade, not the integrated…at least not until your speakers are up to it.

Ghdprentice why reluctantly recommend Rogue Audio? Is it based on the sphinx or Cronus magnum 2? Or just that it’s out classed by competition of the others mentioned?

I am not a Rogue fan. I had a very bad experience with the company early on which still jades my opinion of them. And their sound is… well not as refined as some of their high end cometitors… but, I don’t listen to it much so… I shy away from commenting directly on their sound.
