Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?


I’m trying to find a HIGH QUALITY integrated that has:
1. A no-corners-cut real class A - A/B power stage.
2. A real, high quality analog preamp line stage.
3. A good phono stage.

Aside from a few very high end products, the above described integrateds seem not to exist. Why can’t I find a quality integrated? Do we just have to accept having a pile of boxes?

Has been said a few times already , myself included but still on it rolls.
Now the actual thread material could be of interest and useful to some I am sure, always great to find out about equipment.
However it is the way the op approaches it that is so juvenile.
The majority if not ALL his threads ate titled in the same belittling, antagonist way and that just sets the mood for the majority of the following discussion.
So really they are doomed before they even start.
Now he has been told of this many times already so as he carries on in the same vein one can only assume he is out to deliberately annoy everyone here!
Something he appears to do exceedingly well!

Is the c5i phono input configurable for mm and mc or just mm?
Not a bad price for it for sure
