Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?


I’m trying to find a HIGH QUALITY integrated that has:
1. A no-corners-cut real class A - A/B power stage.
2. A real, high quality analog preamp line stage.
3. A good phono stage.

Aside from a few very high end products, the above described integrateds seem not to exist. Why can’t I find a quality integrated? Do we just have to accept having a pile of boxes?

Thrax Audio Enyo and Ares integrated amps are true game changers and magical. All in one box units and support streaming and high resolution files. With built in Phono and Dac. They out perform  many seperates costing costing 30 to 60k
