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?

Remember, it’s a conspiracy started up by cable manufacturers.

We have a collective of a multibillion dollar secret slush fund that is partly used to pay off high end audio manufacturers of hardware, so they don’t make integrateds.

And to make sure everyone never sees what is going on..., we pay them to make horrid sounding integrateds.

Then we paid off the op to start this thread and misdirect everyone... all while we laughed uproariously in our secret cable boss lair. Where we keep all the perfected integrateds in a deep dark dungeon, never to be heard by any human- for all of eternity.

And to get to the integrateds, you have to cross a moat..filled with CD players with frikin’ lasers mounted in their sleds.
The whole thing is only done while we all ride cetaceans.



That way, when someone asks, we can say, "we did it on porpoise".
