Which Integrated got you off the merry go round?

JRDG Capri and 102 amplifier stacked together are smaller than most integrateds. You get MM/MC phono pre as an option. You get 100 watts per channel. You get 3 inputs in addition to phono. You get very good remote. You get 2 pre-outs. You get balanced inputs and outputs. You get a bypass and a mute and a phase inversion switch.
You get the option of DC operation if you run both units through the PC-1, Rowlands power factor correction device. It converts 110-120 ac out of your wall to 384 vdc into the amp and preamp. Very nice.

If you want to take this further or get more power, the Continuum integrated amps beckon.

CODA CSi Limited Edition. Strong power, sweet sounding with full remote control operation.

Viva Solista, provided you have a sensitive enough speaker, I am not sure how you can do better. Only 22 watts, but SET watts, it controls my 89 db Acoustic Zen Adagios with ease. I have not heard better and I have had a few amps, Pass labs Akleph 3, Karan K180, Lavardin IT. The Solista easily tops them all, but not with warm coloured tube sound. The sound is neutral, fast, even across the frequency spectrum, no base deficit

a lot of guys go to a 'big mac' to get off.

What Merry-Go-Round??? Let's see... conrad-johnson CAV50; Densen DM-10; Mark Levinson #383; Musical Fidelity kW500; yba Passion; Marantz PM11s1; Cary SLI80 Signature F1; Simaudio i-5; Simaudio i-7; Primare I-30; Gamut DI-150... The Gamut has been in my system for over a month. I'm selling it for my neighbor. This could be it. The sleepers are the Densen, Marantz, and the Primare. The Levinson was in my system for over 2 years. The Musical Fidelity had issues and the yba should have stayed but anal me hated the speaked binding posts and the volume control via remote. I may give the new Marantz Pm11s2 a listen. What Merry-Go-Round..
