Mcintosh integrated Vs amp


I recently bought a technics turntable SL-1300 and want to buy a Mcintosh to go with. I don't know what to look for as I'm a novice in this area (only used to my parents 70's console) My music will eventually play with some speakers in a 12 x 12 room but for now headphones.

I'm budget strapped too and aware I'm going to make some sacrificies with features, but my interest will be limted to playing vinyls. Also, why dwould I want to have an integrated amp that has tone controls?

Thank you for your advice

I learned that early on in this hobby and, IMHO, it is sage advice.
