Amps : Modwright LS100 preamp tubed with NOS Philips 5AR4 rectifier &  NOS Sylvania , Raytheon, or Tungsol 6SN7s.  Modwright KWA100SE power amp.

I replaced the rectifier and 12ax7s with NOS RCA 5AR4 and GE 12ax7s.    Line Magnetic 518 integrated amp is tubed with stock 845s, I swapped in NOS Mullard 5AR4 rectifier, NOS Phillips 6L6GCs, NOS GE 12AX7s or Tungsol 5751s. I rotate between the Modwright, Line Magnetic & Finale Audio amps every 2 weeks or so , each easily drive the Daedalus Argos V2s ; each offer a different presentation and I enjoy them all.

How does the Simaudio transport match up with your system? Is the Sim transport a high end piece, like the rest of your system?
