Best Integrated Amp You Ever Heard?

I am tired of the Pre-amp+Power-amp game. So, I am in the quest of finding a really really good integrated amp, preferably used, so I can save some money off the original price.
Right now, I have a pair of Triangle Celius (92db), but I would like the amp to be able to drive other not-so-sensitive speakers.

What is the best integrated amp you've ever listened to?

Thanks,

Josep

I like both the Qinpu A-1.0 and the A-8000 (beautiful amp but unfortunately no remote volume). I've had several integrated amps over the years and these are among the best sounding units I have run across.

Second vote for the Cary 300SEI. I recently inserted some top-shelf input & driver tubes and some Western Electric 300bs. Nice to say the least. Plus the new models have an autobias feature that makes this unit a pleasure to listen to and manage!!

Try it; you'll like it.
