PrimaLuna EVO 400 v Cary SLI-100


I've never owned anything other than solid state but I am increasingly intrigued with tubes.  Thinking of "investing" $5K or so in an all-tube integrated to (at least initially) drive my Klipsch Heresys.  Any thoughts on these two choices?  Is there another choice in this range?

Rogue Audio Dark Integrated (about 100WPC)

I also like any number of Line Magnetic integrated amps. I have the 216i and also have the non dark version of the Rogue (Atlas Magnum III). I have heard another Cary model and for some reason did not connect with the sound. I still think Cary makes fine tube amps. I also heard a Primaluna integrated and felt the same way. I think the key is to find a way to listen to these brands. BTW tubes are intoxicating. You have been warned... (hahah)
