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?

Rogue Pharaoh integrated. Has an excellent MM/MC phono stage and a likewise headphone amp. $3500 new.

Another vote for the Accuphase E-600 and E-650. The E-470 is also excellent if you require more power (although the E-600/650 can handle most speakers). The AD-30 phono stage is excellent, I would expect the new AD-50 to be even better; easily at the level of a $2-3K standalone phono.

I am sure the Accuphase would be a top performer.  T&A has been suggested and looks very interesting.

Luxman L-590AX II.  Half the price of the Accuphase and 95% of the performance.
