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?

Three words.  Creek Evolution 100A
After dumping some mid-level separates the Creek has been a very refreshing upgrade and simplification!  Along with its Phono and Ruby DAC/Bluetooth/FM radio modules the sound is terrific paired with Totem Sky Towers.

The Creek Evolution 100A is indeed a very good integrated amp.  Very surprising performance at it's price point.  It's ergonomics are top notch too.
