Need Integrated Amp with Moving Coil Input

I am trying to downsize and eliminate s lot of equipment. I have separate amp and preamp Primaluna) and LFD phono stage. I would like to get those three down to just one piece. I have a Harbeth 30.1s and Harbeth P3ESRs. Also Triangle Celius Esw and Dynaudio X12s and Contour 1.1s. Also a pair of AR3As. I like all of my speakers but mainly use the 30.1s. Is there s great integrated amplifier that has a moving coil cartridge input? I am having trouble finding one. A friend recommended Octave and have the MC module installed and that is my best and only recommendation. I like the idea of the Naim with the CD player built in as well and could eliminate my PS audio transport and dac also but it does not have a MC input. Any advice or direction would be great. Thanks.

I use several cartridges so have more than one SUT

That's why I bought the Zesto Allasso SUT.  It's so flexible that I cant imagine ever having to buy another.  It should be able to accomodate whatever cart I ever contemplate in the future.  Flexibility should be a huge consideration in selecting a SUT IMO.

My dealer Audio/Video Therapy in Nashua NH carries a full line of Luxman gear. He also loans out the Integrated's to be demo'ed at home.

I found the Luxman 505ux to be a great match for Harbeth SHL5s. And the Phono MM/MC quite good.

What about Croft integrated phono with Phasemation SUT and Harbeth 30.1....
That's what I use and love it
