Tube integrated w/ phono

What would be a good tube/hybrid integrated amp to use/consider for hook up with my turntable, computer, cd/dvd player, tuner, and a pair of bookshelf speakers? I'm on a pretty tight budget and want to keep the cost under $1300 or so. My room is about 17'd x 8'high x 11'w and is carpeted.

I've been looking for the same thing, and all I've seen are the Audio Note units above, and the McIntosh 2275. The problem with the Mac is that their tube phono circuts aren't generally well regarded. This is, however, a brand new circut, and I havent heard it.

the mac phono boards have been uniformly excellent for years...unless you have incredibly efficent speakers , the audio note won't drive much.......and the phono stage isn't the quietestg. for your budg3et, a creek solid state integrated is a mutch better purchase.
