@johnrandi - What is your budget? New or Used?
The reason I ask is that I own a Rega Elicit-R that I purchased used for about 50% of MSRP. At that price it is a fantastic integrated amp with a fine sounding MM Phono input built-in. I came from separates and I've owned a long list of mid-priced integrated amps from the likes of Bryston, Arcam, Anthem, Plinius, Musical Fidelity and Audio Refinement. I've been using the Rega Elicit-R for a couple of years with no desire to replace it, or even look at other alternatives. It's worth a look if it's in your budget. Going rate is about 50% of the $3000 MSRP for a good used one.
