I realize you're looking to downsize here, but by needing a good headphone and MC amp you're obviously really limiting your choices. And what are the chances the few contenders that check all your boxes happen to match your sonic tastes or will synergize well with the rest of your system? Headphone and phono amps are frequently on the smaller side, so would it really be that bad if they were separate from the integrated? It would open up so many more options for you across the board. Just trying to look at it from a different perspective. Best of luck, and congrats on retirement!
Am I dreaming?
Ok, I have been building great sounding systems for about 40 years. Some were modest cost a few were built with some very expensive exclusuve high end brands but all of them were very musical and enjoyable to listen to. I have just retired this January and I would like simplfy my system so I am looking for a quality integrated. However this integrated must have a quality mc phono section and a very high quality built in headphone amp. SS or tube doesn't really matter. Budget will be determined if there is a acceptable product. Does this product exist?
