Integrated Amp Upgrade-itis hitting....


Hey all. Put together a system with GoldenEar Triton 3's, a Marantz CD6005 and Musical Fidelity A3.2 integrated. Lately, been getting the itch to "upgrade" the amp though while excellent in function and aesthetics is getting a tad long in tooth. So, my mind has been wandering about something different. Top 2 options right now are a Marantz PM 8005 and Rogue Sphinx. I'm open to suggestions based on the above. I listen to a lot of electric blues and classic rock. A phono section is important as I do spin some vinyl as well. Just looking for some input from some fellow audio nuts....

No one has suggested the Moon neo 250i integrated or higher.... is there something wrong with Simaudio?  I am asking because beernut has transmitted his upgrade-itis...
I have had the Marantz 8400 for more than 5 years now.  It runs almost 24/7, it is dead silent, it has enough power, it is built like a tank, runs cool even when driven moderately loud,  and it sounds relax, laid-back, with some decent detail.  The volume control offers great contol unlike a nad, it adds decibels slowly with precision.  Before the marantz, I have had a nad 316, arcam alpha 8 (bi-amp combo), adcom 5300...
I paired the marantz with psb image t5 for some time; not a good combo at all.. it lacked dynamics and sound was too dark as if you had blankets on them.  I also have had the rega rs5 plugged-in; excellent combination, really really good... lively, clear, transparent midrange... I kept this for 5 years. Next, I have had totem hawks - good combination, but I think it does not bring the best midrange that the hawks are capable of, unless they are not capable of superb midrange.  I also have a pair of wharfedale Denton 80th.  Again, 2 laid-back components, not the best match...sounds a little too dark.
hence, me too... the upgrade-itis..  Moon Neo 250i anyone?
Thanks for the sage advice everyone. Seems I would need to drop some $$ to have a qualitative improvement over the MuFi at this point....Hmmm.
Chrisr - SA is good stuff! I upgraded from separates to the SA 600i....best move ever! The SA soundstage, detail without harshness, is awesome. A true dual mono architecture with high current capability, doubles into a 4 ohm load. Find a dealer and listen! Enjoy the music!
Gabby, thanks for feedback!  How is the volume control?  Solidly built, smooth progression?
I have gone through several amps and preamps and I now have the Line Magnetics 508IA integrated. It is the best sounding amp that I have ever had in my system.If you are looking for a great integrated,you could give this one a look.
