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!

WireWorld Electra 7 PC is very good value $ money. I use one, and have a couple more that I upgraded from that are in need of a new home

 

To answer what does it my PC that is as expensive as the CDT 6000, there's no simple answer. It depends on the rest of the system

OP,

 

Sorry, I have no idea what kind of transformers Audio Research uses…. Ones that sound fantastic, last forever and look good. I stopped being concerned about how an audio goal, was achieved about a year after I got in to high end audio… about 50 years ago.

@ghdprentice its a mater of chemical sensitivities for me, i react to all of the square transformers I've tried, the torodial ones have been fine, different materials, go figure.

I think Parasound uses them in their amps and integrated.

When I had the Halo Hint it was warm sounding.
