Phono Input in the Musical Fidelity A5.5???

I am a newbie and I am building my system from the ground up. I am trying to use quality equipment so I will not get the upgrade bug so fast. I am seriously considering the Musical Fidelity A5.5 Integrated Amp for an upgrade in my system (I am currently using a Marantz SR-6400). It will be joining a ClearAudio Emotion TT with Kirksaeter Prisma 210 speakers. What I am wondering is how is the quality of the onboard phono stage on this amp, or is it better to go with the A3.5 and with an external phono stage (ClearAudio Nano)?

Sorry for my ignorance, but when using an external phono stage, do you still connect through the phono inputs in the amp? How does this impact the signal since it is going through two stages?? Do you have any knowledge of the Clearaudio Nano?

I am always weary of buying used, but you do believe a used Nuvista is better than a new A5.5?

I can see all your points on the power. Although, I love the Kirksaeters I can see that they will in time be changed as I move up their line.

Thanks for the help
