Many nice suggestions. Thank you very much.

You are right, I was too vague in my original post. Tried to make it more precise, though.
The VAC Phi 200 looks spectacular.
So does the Conrad Johnson CAV-45.
And the SLI-80 is just almost perfect (don’t really like the tilted output transformers too much). But didn’t the Stereophile measure a Cary Audio amp some time ago and found it to be so bad from the technical perspective that they called it a joke?
