Such a question...

...is too important to be left to an open board like this. You'd be best offer getting them into your system one by one for several days each to fully experience them.

For my part, I'd lean towards the full function LTA, as I have a nice tape deck. I'd have a Music First TVC over the Tortuga and as nice as the Kinki is, I'd pass. But I've not heard any of them, so I know nothing, aside from my past experience of passive, ss and tube amps, transformer coupled and OTL amps (Graaf).

For the record, I also have a pair of Dave Slagle's TVC transformers that never got deployed. They will at some point.
