Upgrading my Rouge Cronus 11 to what?

Looking to upgrade my Rogue Cronus integrated to a something like a VAC Sigma 170i IQ  I like is the holographic sound of tubes and the Cronus has some of that but would like more,certainly if there are other options would be open to hear them.

Im running a Yggy dac with some LSA statement bookshelf speakers in a small room 17 x 16 ft and listen mostly to digital with all genres but usually Rock.

I have tried some other SS amps that left me a bit cold like the Devialet 200 so Im a tube guy I guess 

Thanks.

Budget is around 5 to 10 K and buying used is fine with me.

I keep my gear for a long time so the splurging is ok to get what I want.

Wouldn't say no to a 2 piece setup Im a bit of a loss to choose a pairing but Im open to it. 

My experience with Rogue has been great the only issue in 10 years has been the remote volume recently stopped working.

Thanks for the replies.

The Line Magnetic LM-219ia looks like their owners adore it and is something special!

Yes Avanti1960 the Bugle Boy was hard to get but was my pick too. After reaching out to Brent jessie I installed a Mazda grey plate in the 12AU7 I believe that has a largest effect on sonics but may well do the others as I will move it over to my other rig.

So many choices what fun this hobby is eh? : )
