What's the best integrated amp in the $1500-$2000 range?


I'm looking for an integrated amp for roughly $1000, but could be convinced to go a bit higher for something that performs way outside the price range.  My primary focus is analog for my vinyl collection, but I would like to add digital source either from a network streamer or perhaps just bluetooth  from a phone.

Not to overly complicate the question, but I'd also consider something used that's in mint or near perfect condition.

I’ve heard nothing but good things about the Rogue line but have no personal experience with them.  I got a PrimaLuna Prologue Classic last year and have been deliriously happy with it.  It cost me just a tad under the top end of your budget....one needs to bring a phono preamp (Actually, a built-in was a special order option which had pretty good user ratings.  This unit has been replaced by the “Evo” line so not sure as to availability as new.). As has been stated, a lot depends on the speakers you have.  I’m running JBL L65s, from the mid-late 1970s and they’re in the 89-91 dB sensitivity range....
