Who makes your favorite vintage phono sections???

My genius the ubergeek PHd candidate nephew has been bitten and smitten by the audiofoolya bug. He is much taken with vinyl and wants to put together a low cost vintage system.

He asked me, and I am asking you to help identify which brands/products/models of integrated amps had especially good phono sections and deserve to be on the ultra short list?

Your thoughts will help us to narrow our search. The more specific the better...

Thanks for your help

Luxman L-series from the eighties, I had the L-410 for many years and, briefly, the L-560 (this class A amp ran so hot, you could fry eggs on it). Mind you, I haven't heard either of these machines for a long time, so there may be some nostalgia here, but at the time they beat all the more popular brands in their price range that I had heard. Perhaps this site is of some interest to you http://www.thevintageknob.org/
Good luck
