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?

If I ever decide to consolidate all my boxes into one, I'd go for a McIntosh MA9000.
+ imhifiman. Great find. The OP can get one for each room and still stay within the budget. A true "integrated".
