Integrated with Excellent Phono Stage


I am looking for a SS integrated or even a vintage receiver for my son. He has a pair of PSB Stratus Minis and one of the Lenco turntables that he helped me build, along with a pedestrian Pioneer CDP.

Looking for piece for about $500-600 USED that would match well, and having the best phono stage possible. It has been so long since I was in the integrated arena that the whole current lineup has passed me by.

The older Musical Fidelity integrated (the original A1 and A100, sold in the U.S. under the British Fidelity name) were excellent sounding amps and had great sounding phono stages. I believe Tim DaParavinci was the designer. The Advent receiver also had a very good phono stage. The Advent can be had under $250 and can be readily found, the Musical Fidelity amps are somewhat rare in the U.S.

Also, any late 70s thru 80s Luxman, Marantz, Nakamichi, Tandberg or Yamaha receiver will have reasonable quality, if not the equal of those in the first paragraph, phono stages
