High-end TT setup with phono stage built in


Does this exist, other than the yet to be released Burmester: https://www.burmester.de/en/home-audio/reference-line/175-turntable.html at 30000$, my budget is 1/10th that.

I am looking for SQ of a $5000 (2k TT, 1k cart, 2k phono stage) analog setup but don't want yet another box (phono preamp). Budget <5000$

Why so? Let's just say I am obsessed with reducing the number of boxes in my condo.

VPI Player? Not quite up to budget but if a lifestyle product is your requirement and you can improve the cartridge maybe.

Build yourself a Lenco based deck, you can make space for a phonostage in the plinth you build yourself, you get to pick the arm and they run off mains voltage.

You’ll have to try hard to avoid a turntable with a ps at the level you’re thinking of anyway so what’s another box?
