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?

I second the Elicit -R especially if one wants to mate it with the Saturn -R player.

Happy Listening!

the Ayre is on my list. Can you comment on Accuphase, Ayre and Luxman?  Happy Listening!

I like the older Creek models, not very powerful, very musical.

Happy Listening!
