Which integrated, or keep what I have?

I've been kicking around the idea to replace my AR LS3 preamp and McCormack DNA .5 dlx amp that has been powering my Legacy Victoria LE speakers. I've narrowed it down to 2 possible units, Musical Fidelity A5 or PS Audio GCC-250. Which ones do you like, or should I just keep my existing stuff and use the Creek OBH-22 remote control unit.

I'm not exactly familiar with your exact setup (although I've heard ARC and McCormack gear), but I can say I'm not exactly a fan of the sound of PS Audio's new GainCell stuff. I didn't love the A5 in the setup I heard it in (and not compared to other MF integrateds) but that doesn't mean it wouldn't sound good in yours. You can try out the PS Audio stuff and always return it, but I didn't like the sound, FWIW.

There is no way I would take either the MF or PSA over your current gear.
