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?

Margules “Macotela”. Pure class A, triode or ultralinear, all tube (12au7 preamp section and 6550-KT88-KT90 amp), auto bias (advanced active-servo bias), 40w triode or 75w ultralinear, zero negative feedback... Beautiful.
