Is there a clear definition of what "Integrated" means?


Driver / input / output stages

Phono stages

Tone controls, source selections, balancers

 

Amps can have all or just some of these.

Is there one thing that must be included to be called an integrated?

Conrad Johnson calls their integrated amps Control Amps.  Basically a power amp with volume, balance , and input selector

My first Integrated Amp in a long time, the Cyrus i7XR also has a DAC .   Integrated Amps have come a long way and some are quite good.

My Dad has a McIntosh 8950 and it is a killer one box solution
