What is the best Integrated amp w/phono for $3000


Is Bryston B100 SST 17 the best Integrated amp for $3000 or less?
I like a sound that isn't warm rather on the neutral side.
How does Marantz sound (PM-KI pearl).
Thanks,

Best at what? With what equipment? There's a lot more to it than just asking what is "best". What someone else thinks is "best" might not work for you at all.Ask ten people that question and you are likely to get ten different answers.List your other equipment and some more info on what you are looking for in an amp and you will get more specific responses.Remember,these will be what others like,the ultimate decision will fall on you.If possible,audition some amps that interest you.Good luck in your search.
Tpreaves is right. More info is needed especially the speakers the amp is going to drive as well as how flexible you want the phono to be. Having said that, let me point you towards the Simaudio products for a very resolving neutral sound. Specifically, the i3.3 is a modular integrated amp: the base model comes with the line-level preamp and the power amp section rated at 100wpc into 8ohm, doubling that into 4 ohms (so should drive a wide range of speakers). But you can also add an on-board DAC as well as MM/MC phono modules. Here is a link: http://www.simaudio.com/mooni33.htm
