IMO, the NuForce is not even close to your best option.
A tube amp with more clarity and slam than a Cary would be good. Consider
Berning(maybe too costly), BAT VK60(cheap) or VK55, and Consonance.
Trelja distributes Consonance in North America, and I can say that for the price they crush most everything. Many of their models can be used w/multiple type tubes to better adjust to your preference. Decide on amp, and then a complementary pre. Cheers,
