Amplification Recommendations for LS3/5A

I have a pair of Falcon Acoustics LS3/5A speakers coming to me next week.  I'm hoping to get some suggestions for a new amp.  It has to be an integrated due to space considerations.  My preference is for tubes but I'm not absolutely locked in to that.  I'd like it to have a MC phono stage but I know that's fairly rare.  If it supports MM only I have an SUT I can use.  I do need three inputs, including the phono stage.  I'd like to keep this under $1500 if possible.  Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Gary

Hi celtic66,
I have a Mitch Singerman-modified EAR834P phono stage but I'm really trying to simplify and reduce the number of boxes and cables.   That's why I was hoping for a high quality phono stage.  I'm very familiar with the Rogue Cronus Magnum, at least the original.  It's an excellent amp but the phono stage is just average compared to my EAR834P.  Has anyone tried the Croft Phono Integrated?  Gene Rubin is currently selling them for $1595.
