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?

The DarTZeel integrated has everything you are looking for and sounds spectacular. My only qualm on the phono stage is with very low LOMC it sounded better with SUT.

In tube land, the new Vac coming out could be the equivalent on the other side.
