Best Integrated Amp (for me)

I recently upgraded to a Pro-Ject Classic turntable. I currently own KEF LS50 bookshelf speakers and a Nikko NR-719 tuner (from the 1980s).

I'm interested in upgrading to a better-quality (and nicer-looking) integrated amplifier to pair with my turntable and speakers. I love things that are really simple and classic-looking (but of course I also want it to sound great). I'm looking to spend somewhere between $500-$1000.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

I also own Kef LS50s which are powered by a Bryston B60R integrated amp. I'm quite happy with that combo but if I was looking, the Rega Brio would be a strong consideration.

I have KEF LS50 Meta powered by Rotel A11 Tribute ($800).
The synergy between the two is out of this world, just shocking!
The sound is incredibly musical and pulls you in every time.

Vista Audio Spark + Schiit Mani will do the trick nicely. (Presuming the LS50s are used near field / small space)
