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?

I have a All in one Intergrated that really SUCKS,
the bad sound right out of the listening room.

The computer audiophile folks are really getting tired of a certain person also.

Happy Listening,
Kenny.

I owned the Pass Int-60 and it beat out everything till I spent almost 3x the price on a Gryphon Diablo 300.    Strengths of the Pass....a delicious tube like sound.....the Diablo 300s strength is that it has a more live presentation.    Pick your poison.

I have mostly separates but do have a system with the Naim Supernait.
The original, DAC is quite good, have the outboard phono stage also quite good. A terrific buy used.
