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,

These were designed for tubes. Suggest contacting DeVore for some ideas, but here's what I know.

Just heard these w/Manley Snappers, Manley Stingray, and Dehavilland Aries 845G. They don't need much power, and will let you the differences of various output tubes. If you don't have a feel for how a SET type amp like the Dehavilland sounds vs. the sound of a push pull EL34 or KT88 type amp, you really should listen to some before you decide. FWIW, the clarity of the little EL84-based Stingray was a better match IMHO than the Snappers. The Aries 845G blew them both out of the water. (I bought these amps)

A tube preamp is probably a better match, too.

What is your budget and what did YOU think of the 3 amps you heard? What are your priorities? Cheers,
