Am I dreaming?


Ok, I have been building great sounding systems for about 40 years.  Some were modest cost a few were built with some very expensive exclusuve high end brands but all of them were very musical  and enjoyable to listen to.  I have just retired this January and I would like simplfy my system so I am looking for a quality integrated.  However this integrated must have a quality mc phono section and a very high quality built in headphone amp. SS or tube doesn't really matter.  Budget will be determined if there is a acceptable product.  Does this product exist?

Thanks for all the replys.  It seems there can be very high quality phono stages but headphone amplication is still lacking.

Does it have to be one box or should it just take less space?

Project has a nice setup with very small components. Otherwise I agree with @soix , having the phono or phono+headphone part separate gives you many more options.

One box is a dream.  That is why I titled the thread "Am I dreaming".  A small hp amp box would not be the end of the world.
