The new Hegel H190v might be something for you to check out.  It has all of the features you mentioned or with the H400 now out, you could check out the Hegel H390 and getting a phono preamp. I’m pretty sure getting a separate phono preamp will sound better than most built in ones.

All the best.

Looks like the upcoming ARCAM SA45 ticks all the boxes although falling somewhat short on power (180W/300W, 8 ohm and 4 ohm respectively). It may come down to a decision between that one and the NAD. The two brands reportedly have different sound signatures (warmer and brighter respectively).

@freediver You are correct the Hegel H600 has an MSRP of $12,500.  Are you the guy that paid the full price that one time?  🤣  As for not having a phono stage, my thought was if you're not caring about the quality of the phono, it could be added for a couple hundred and still be within the 10K budget.  Anyone interested in a higher end vinyl set up would most likely be looking at a stand alone phono stage?  So IMHO, someone looking at spending $10K, should consider the H600.
