Best Integrated Amp (for me)

I recently upgraded to a Pro-Ject Classic turntable. I currently own KEF LS50 bookshelf speakers and a Nikko NR-719 tuner (from the 1980s).

I'm interested in upgrading to a better-quality (and nicer-looking) integrated amplifier to pair with my turntable and speakers. I love things that are really simple and classic-looking (but of course I also want it to sound great). I'm looking to spend somewhere between $500-$1000.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

Rega IO. I just picked up this lovely little integrated up @ $599.00 new, delivered. All I can say is wow! On board phono preamp, with 2 additional inputs. The phono is very nice indeed. With a newly purchased new Rega DAC-R (inbound streamed digital from MacBook Air) and Linn LP12 turntable outbound to ProAC speakers, it’s an all British system. Rega IO.
Edit: As others have referenced, the Rega Brio-R would be a great choice as well. 😎. More power than Rega IO, it has the all important phono preamp built in (as with the IO) and 2 more additional inputs if you should need them. Got Rega?
